Surgical Lights Market Size

Surgical Lights Market Analysis

The surgical lights market is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.0% over the forecast period.

• The surgical lights market's growth was impacted due to a decline in the number of surgeries and procedures amid the COVID-19 pandemic in its initial phases. Elective and other routine operations were canceled or postponed, allowing critical care units to use the operating and recovery rooms for COVID-19 patients.
• For instance, an article published in Patients Safety in Surgery Journal in June 2022 stated that the total number of primary and secondary surgical patients decreased by 22.7% and 11.7%, respectively, in Germany during the first year of the pandemic as compared to the previous year. Thus, the growing need for hospitalization for severely impacted COVID-19 patients worldwide increased the demand for surgical or operating lights in the later phase of the pandemic.
• Hence, owing to the factors mentioned above, the market studied had a significant impact on the market studied. However, with the COVID-19 cases in control, the market is re-gaining its pre-pandemic nature regarding the demand for surgical lights in ICUs and operating theaters. Furthermore, the factors such as the significant rise in surgical treatments and technological advancements in the field of surgical lighting systems, the studied market is expected to boost the growth during the forecast period.
• According to National Health Service (NHS) Digital's National Obesity Audit published in August 2022, a total of 4,035 people underwent primary bariatric procedures in England in 2021-2022. The bariatric procedures in England in 2021-2022 showed an increase of roughly 60% compared to the previous year. Therefore, the high burden of the population affected by obesity and the rising number of bariatric surgical procedures will boost the utilization of surgical lights during the procedure, which is expected to augment the market growth during the forecast period.
• Similarly, the rising technological enhancements in surgical lights and launches are likely to bolster the growth of the surgical lights market in the upcoming years. For instance, in October 2021, Getinge launched a new feature called Volista VisioNIR in Maquet Volista StandOP. The new feature allows the surgical staff to keep the surgical light on when performing open surgeries using NIR fluorescence imaging systems. Additionally, in July 2021, MezLight LLC launched its revolutionary surgical lighting system to provide surgeons with a bright, sterile, and reusable solution for focused light.
• Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, such as the rising number of surgical procedures and technological advancements, the studied market is projected to grow during the forecast period. However, the higher cost associated with surgical lights is one of the major factors restraining the market's growth over the analysis period.
