Global Operating Room Equipment Market 2016-2020

Outlook of the global operating room (OR) equipment market

Operating room (OR) equipment plays a crucial role in the care of patients in a healthcare setting. With the development of innovative and advanced equipment, surgeons are able to efficiently perform surgeries as it becomes easier to manage complex surgeries. In many cases, patients are operated in a minimally invasive (MI) way due to the availability of integrated OR systems. Such innovations have helped healthcare organizations reduce preparation time before surgeries, perform error-free procedures, and reduce overall costs, leading to higher market demand for such equipment. Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global operating room equipment market would grow at a steady CAGR of just over 7% during the forecast period.

A significant trend that will impel the prospects for growth in this market is the rising popularity of hybrid ORs. Recently, it has been observed that the number of hybrid ORs in healthcare facilities has increased globally. These ORs consist of surgical tools and equipment along with advanced imaging equipment. Since they offer a sterile OR environment, surgeons can perform surgeries, both open surgeries and MI procedures, with ease. The ability of these ORs to reduce the total healthcare expenditure, enhance patient safety, and minimize the time taken to perform surgeries will lead to its increased popularity in the fields of neurosurgery, cardiology, and orthopedics.
