Market Introduction
The North America operating tables market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. There is a rise in the number of cardiovascular surgeries and general surgeries performed across the region. Cancer and diabetes are the leading cause of mortality across the region. For instance, as per a study carried out by the American Cancer Society (ACS), in 2018, ~1,735,350 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the US. Furthermore, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2017, an estimated 46 million Americans were suffering from diabetes. The number is expected to reach 62 million by 2045. The same study also mentioned that ~425 million people were suffering from diabetes in 2017, and the number is likely to reach ~629 million by 2045. Such a high prevalence of chronic conditions increases the number of surgical procedures. In addition, according to the study published by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, in 2019, around 252,000 weight loss surgeries were performed in the US.
In North America, the US reported a huge number of COVID-19 cases, which led to the discontinuation of several business operations, including operating table manufacturing activities. The health care systems are overburdened, and the delivery of medical care to all patients has become a challenge in the region. In addition, the medical device industry is also facing the negative impact of this pandemic. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, medical device companies are finding difficulties in managing their operations. Many companies offering operating tables have their business operations in the US, and businesses are adversely being affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has disrupted and restricted the companies' and businesses' ability to distribute products and resulted in temporary closures of facilities. However, hospitals have slowly started resuming elective procedures as the COVID-19 recovery rate is increasing, which will boost the demand for medical equipment like operating tables.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The operating tables market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 307.45 million in 2021 to US$ 387.42 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2021 to 2028. The types of electric operating tables continue to increase, including five-section eccentric columns, built-in kidney bridges, C-arm carbon fiber catheter operating tables, etc., These types are convenient and safe, comprehensive functions, high control precision, and long service life. The power control source is used to operate various settings, such as table movement, table tilt, and height adjustment. It helps simplify the task of an operation without distracting the surgeon's attention. This feature can be used for electric operating tables. With the help of the remote control to assist the operation of the electric actuator, the movement of a table can be easily controlled. For example, the KME-1204 sliding top electric OT is suitable for various surgeries, such as general surgery; cardiovascular surgery; neurology, gynecology, urology, proctology, and traumatic surgery; plastic surgery; and laparoscopy. The table is equipped with remote control for easy height adjustment; side tilt; longitudinal sliding; and trendelenburg, flexion, and reflex positioning. Also, the nonreflecting surface is antibacterial and easy to clean. Owing to the plenty of power, smooth and quiet movement, multiple value-added features, and unlimited customization options (such as customized positioning), companies continue to add value to the electric adjustment of advanced operating tables. Therefore, it is expected that during the forecast period, a significant shift toward powered surgical tables will become a trend owing to the benefits offered by powered surgical tables.
