OPERATING TABLES AND LIGHTS MARKET ANALYSIS

An operating table is an essential part of any surgical procedure. Currently, various types of surgical tables are available for basic operating requirements as well as specialized procedures. The operating table is one of the essential operation theater equipment that plays an important role in achieving better treatment outcomes. Surgical lamps, also called operating lights or surgical overheads, are medical devices used by surgeons or medical personnel during surgery. They are used to illuminate the area where surgery is to be performed. It is a combination of several lights and accessories, which is collectively called a surgical light system.

The global operating tables and lights market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,382.0 million in 2021 and expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Global Operating Tables and Lights Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Supply chain and manufacturing activities in India, Italy, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. have been disrupted due to lockdowns implemented by governments as a measure against the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others are also facing problems with regards to transportation.

The coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak that started from Wuhan, China has spread across continents, affecting various industries globally. The supply of key materials has been severely disrupted due to the forced quarantine and lack of labor and raw materials. As the link between regional warehouses is not smooth, the transportation of raw materials between regions cannot be carried out successfully. This shortage of raw materials and components has affected the supply chain of the global operating tables and lights market.

Due to a severe shortage of medical resources at the front line, only patients diagnosed with serious conditions can be hospitalized. Unfortunately, the pathogenic mechanism of the virus has not been identified completely. Therefore, there is no specific drug and treatment except for symptomatic and supportive treatments. Respiratory support devices such as life-support machines, atomizers, oxygen generators, and monitors are primary medical devices for clinical treatment. Thus, from diagnosis to cure, the need for instruments for measuring temperature, nucleic acid diagnostic kits, antiviral medical products, and life-support machines has increased consistently.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global economy, and in turn, the global operating tables and lights market. Quarantines, traveling constraints, and social distancing measures are likely to lead to a steep decline in business and consumer spending.

 Global Operating Tables and Lights Market: Restraint

The major factors that hinder the global operating tables and lights market growth include the high cost of the operating tables and operating lights. Specialty surgical tables incur high acquisition as well as maintenance costs for health care settings. Constant evolution in the surgical tables and lights segment, with the introduction of new features and designs, has led to the high cost of these products.
