Operating room lights, popularly known as
surgical lights or surgical light heads, are used by surgeons to
illuminate a local area or cavity of the patient during an operation.
The correct set of operating room lights is crucial for achieving
procedural accuracy, patient care, and positive results. Combination of
several surgical lights and other technologies such as cameras has
evolved into advanced operating room light systems. The global operating
room lights market is expected to expand at a sluggish pace during the
forecast period. Growth in few markets like the U.S. was attributed to
the shifting of many facilities from halogen lights to LED lights. LED
lights offer various advantages over traditional halogen lights such as
higher light intensity, larger adjustable spot, and a wide range of
settings and adjustment options. These LED lights do not heat up as
compared to halogen lights, and thus help maintain a cool and
comfortable operating room environment for surgeons. Some of the leading
brands in the operating lights market are Stellar Series from Skytron;
ALM and Hanau Med from Getinge Group; and Phililux from Philips.
Rise in the number of cardiovascular,
neurological, urological, orthopedic, and dermatology surgical
procedures is likely to drive the global operating room lights market.
Increase in the geriatric population undergoing major cardiac surgeries
has propelled the global market. Moreover, product innovations driven by
advancement in technology is anticipated to propel the operating room
lights market. Rising demand for sophisticated operation theaters has
boosted the global operating room lights market. However, high cost of
these lights is likely to restrain the market.
The global operating room lights market
can be segmented based on type of lamp, mounting configuration,
applications, and region. In terms of type of lamp, the global operating
room lights market can be categorized into conventional incandescent
lamps, gas discharge, and LED. Technological advancements has led to
shift from halogen lamps to LEDs. Different types of LED lamps with
required specifications for a particular medical procedure are available
in the market. Based on mounting configuration, the global operating
room lights market includes ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, and on floor
stand. Currently, various portable operating room light are in high
demand in the market. In terms of application, the market can be
categorized into major surgeries and minor surgeries.
In terms of geography, the operating room
lights market has been segmented into North America, Asia Pacific,
Europe, and Rest of the World. Most hospitals in these regions are
increasingly adopting modern day OR equipment and hybrid ORs.
Additionally, rising number of surgical procedures is contributing to
the expansion of market in North America and Europe. The market in
countries such as Japan, China, India, Malaysia and Australia are
projected to create growth opportunities for equipment manufacturers.
The operating room lights market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to
expand at a significant pace. Emerging economies such as India and China
are expected to propel the operating room lights market in Asia Pacific
due to the rise in health care expenditure.
Key players operating in the room lights
market include Getinge Group, TRUMPF GmbH +Co. KG, Steris Corporation,
Berchtold Corporation, and Skytron, LLC. According to Healthcare
Purchasing News (a business news magazine for purchasing decision-makers
at hospitals and other health care facilities), Skytron LLC dominates
the market in the U.S. with the largest share followed by Steris
Corporation, Getinge Group, and Berchtold Corporation.
