Report Overview

The global surgical tables market size was estimated at USD 1.41 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2023 to 2030. An increasing number of surgeries due to rising cases of trauma and injuries across the globe is expected to foster market growth. The rising adoption of advanced surgical tables by various hospitals and healthcare facilities for improved surgical experience for patients as well as surgeons is the major factor anticipated to augment the growth. Complex procedures performed in the operating room require surgical tables to handle various positions, which is anticipated to create a demand for surgical tables. Growing competition in the industry is expected to augment the demand for advanced products during the forecast period.

The increasing aging population worldwide is predicted to create high demand for surgical tables during the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, one in six individuals in the globe is expected to be 60 years or older by 2030. The population aged 60 years and over increased to 1.4 billion in 2021 from 1.1 billion in 2020. The number of individuals in the world who are 60 or older will double (to 2.1 billion) by 2050. Such a rise in the number of the elderly population is predicted to consequently result in greater demand for surgical tables for treatment, thereby contributing to the market growth.

The rising number of hospital admissions by geriatric patients, specifically those suffering from end-stage chronic diseases that involve surgical treatment, is one of the major factors augmenting the market progression. The rising volume of orthopedic and bariatric surgeries across the globe is leading to a surge in demand for surgical tables during the forecast period. For instance, as per the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, primary hip surgeries (32.7%) and primary knee surgeries (54.4%) were most commonly performed in 2019. Thus, the growing prevalence of targeted diseases is projected to create lucrative growth opportunities for market players.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every feature of medical care, including surgical treatment. The rising demand for surgical tables during COVID-19 treatment along with the requirement for surgical tables during emergency elective procedures resulted in maintaining the market value throughout the pandemic. The growth rate is also not much affected and is thought to be lucrative during the forecast period. The rising number of Powered and ambulatory care centers along with the expansion of non-profit organizations is one of the significant factors influencing the market growth. Also, the majority of surgeries are being performed in an operating room more than ever before.

Product Type Insights

The general surgical tables segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 30.7% in 2022. This is due to the increasing number of surgeries, especially in cardiovascular, ENT, gynecologic, and other general surgeries. The increasing incidence of Cardiovascular Disorders (CVDs) is also creating substantial demand for surgical tables. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 655,000 Americans die due to heart disease each year. In addition, as per the WHO, around 17.9 million people die each year due to heart disease across the globe.

The specialty surgical tables segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period. The specialty surgical tables segment is further divided into neurosurgical tables, orthopedic, laparoscopic, and bariatric surgical tables. The demand for specialty surgical tables is rising due to an increased volume of surgical procedures including bariatric and orthopedic surgeries. Specialty surgical procedures require various surgical methods, that require specific patient positions to allow the surgeons to perform the procedure. Furthermore, increasing investments by various Powered and organizations to improve surgical treatments and procedures including specialty procedures are anticipated to foster segment growth during the forecast period.

Material Insights

Based on material, the surgical tables market is categorized into metal and composite. The metal segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 51.1% in 2022. Increasing adoption coupled with the rising demand for metal surgical tables on account of their easy availability and low cost is predicted to foster the growth of this segment. Metal surgical tables are more affordable than composite surgical tables, which increases their demand among healthcare professionals. Stainless steel is one of the most widely used metals in the manufacturing of surgical tables.

Stainless steel contains anti-microbial properties for healthcare equipment and operating room. Thus, the wide usage of stainless steel-based surgical tables is also estimated to propel the segment growth. The composite segment also held a significant market value in 2022. The positioning surface of the surgical table, which is made of carbon fiber material, can be shifted laterally and longitudinally. The surface, as well as the patient, are moved, by motor, to the preferred position during surgical procedures. Increasing advances associated with carbon composite surgical tables are predicted to create a strong market position.

End-use Insights

Based on end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs), and specialty clinics & trauma centers. The hospital segment held the majority of the revenue share of 38.1% in 2022. Investments in surgical devices including surgical tables are gradually rising in hospitals, thereby enhancing the segment growth.

The ASC segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. The growing preference for same-day surgery, significant cost savings and reduction in waiting time, and a rise in the number of patients requiring surgical interventions are among the major factors driving the demand for surgical tables in ambulatory surgery centers. The availability of reimbursement policies for ambulatory surgery procedures is also anticipated to contribute to the growth of this segment.

Type Insights

Based on type, the market has been further segmented into powered and non-powered surgical tables. The powered segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 67.7% in 2022. Powered surgical tables are often battery-operated, reducing the need for electrical cords on the floor. These devices assist the operating room team in positioning the patient through various motor-driven functions, such as tilt, back & leg supports, height adjustment, an inclination of the tabletop, and return-to-level. Such benefits offered by powered surgical tables are predicted to boost segment growth.

The non-powered segment also accounted for a considerable market share in 2022. With the development in the medical technology sector and the rise in patients as well as surgeons highlighting the safety and comfortability factors, hydraulic and non-powered surgical tables have seen a rise in demand in hospital settings, globally. On the other hand, non-powered surgical tables do not have auto-control features, which might affect the focus of a healthcare professional or surgeon during the surgical procedure. This, in turn, is anticipated to hamper the segment growth during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.4% in 2022. The demand for surgical tables is closely linked to the number of surgical procedures performed. North America has a high volume of surgical interventions, driven by factors such as an aging population, the prevalence of chronic diseases, and advancements in surgical techniques. The growing number of surgeries boosts the demand for surgical tables, both in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.

North America has a well-developed healthcare infrastructure with ongoing investments in upgrading and expanding healthcare facilities. The construction of new hospitals and surgical centers, as well as the renovation of existing facilities, create opportunities for the procurement of surgical tables. In April 2021, Dr. J. Joseph Hewett announced the inauguration of Orange County Surgical Center for outpatient vascular care in Orange County city in California U.S.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Rising disposable income, especially in countries, such as China and India, along with the presence of a large patient pool in the region is anticipated to foster market growth. With a considerable increase in the number of surgeries being performed, owing to a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases, the demand for surgical tables is growing. In addition, increasing healthcare expenditure in China and Japan is expected to drive the product demand over the forecast period.
