Early Findings

  • The surgical illumination market is expected to grow dramatically from 2019 to 2025.
  • Reasons for this increase include the growing number of surgeries globally, the high number of chronic illnesses that have led to surgeries, and "key industry players" developing and endorsing new surgical light systems. Merivaara and Stryker have developed and created new technology that has helped boost the number of surgeries.
  • The number of hybrid operating rooms in hospitals has also boosted the demand for surgical lighting and tools.
  • According to a 2016 report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of surgeries rose ~40% between 2004 and 2012.
  • Additional key players in the market include STERIS, NUVO, Meditek, and DRE Medical. Some of these companies have created a monopoly over the industry, along with Maquet, Draeger, and Philips Button.
  • Coherent Market Insights found the surgical lighting industry was valued at $394.1 million in 2017 and is expected to grow by 4.4% between 2018 and 2026.
  • MarketWatch predicts the market will have a CAGR of 4.3% from 2017 to 2023.
