Historical Market Growth (CAGR 2019 to 2024) |
2.9% |
Historically the global market for operating tables grew at a CAGR of nearly 2.9% from 2019 to 2024. Driven by increasing healthcare needs and growing advancements in medical technology, the development of operating tables has evolved significantly from manual models to electrically powered systems offering enhanced precision and patient safety.
Increasing volume of surgical procedures worldwide and growing investments has also contributed to the growing demand for specialized operating tables that can support diverse medical procedures.
Recent times have seen a notable shift towards hybrid operating tables combining versatility and functionality allowing for a wide procedure range. Growing advancements in imaging system modality, integration with navigation tools and rising trend of outpatient surgeries are all likely to spur the demand for specialised operating tables globally. The global market is likely to have a CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period of 2025 to 2032.
“Rising Number of Surgeries”
The rising frequency of a variety of chronic and acute diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders, neurological disorders, and other disorders, is the fundamental cause of the increased need for operating tables. These chronic disorders typically necessitate a number of surgical procedures.
According to research published in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) based on current procedural terminology (CPT) codes from 1 January 2019 to 30th January 2021, approximately 13,108,567 operations were conducted in the United States, and this figure is expected to rise in the future years. As a result, the increase in the number of surgical operations is expected to boost the market growth in the near future.
“Enhanced Healthcare Infrastructure”
In terms of healthcare infrastructure and development, several developed nations are expanding their healthcare infrastructure rapidly. The need for surgical tables in these nations is increasing as several healthcare facilities are emphasizing on capacity expansion to accommodate the increased intake of patients for surgical procedures.
Rising public and private investments in healthcare and hospital infrastructure have resulted in an enormous expansion in the number of healthcare facilities. This is expected to continue in the upcoming years and is expected to fuel the growth of the market.
“High Cost of Advanced Operating Tables”
Operating tables with advanced multi-features like precise positioning, adjustable height, and imaging integration comes with a high price tag. Their tag often becomes a barrier for healthcare facilities especially in small scale hospitals with limited funding, ultimately affecting their affordability. High initial investment, along with ongoing training and maintenance costs deter institutions from adopting these advanced systems. This limits their accessibility to cutting-edge surgical technology and ultimately the market growth.
“Increase in Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Hybrid Operating Rooms, and Medical Tourism Expansion”
There has been a tremendous growth in the number of ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) around the globe owed to their cost-effectiveness, capabilities to perform diverse surgeries, and the shorter recovery times. The outpatient surgical services offered by these ASCs demand for highly specialized durable operating tables catering to wide variety of surgical requirements in compact, adaptable settings, thus, creating a growing market for innovative operating table solutions.
Simultaneously, surge in medical tourism for affordable and high-quality healthcare, is driving the demand for modern surgical facilities equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This in turn is creating the emergence of hybrid operating rooms with high-tech facilities combining traditional surgery with high end equipment including imaging systems, navigation systems; require operating tables which seamlessly integrate with complex medical equipment. Growing demand of both ASCs and medical tourism hubs is likely to enhance the growth potential in the operating tables market.
“Versatility of General Surgery Tables Makes Them Preferred for Healthcare Facilities”
General surgery tables segment held a revenue share of 37.3% in 2025 within the global market due to their versatility and ability to support a wide range of procedures. General surgery tables accommodate various surgical specialties and offer more flexibility in terms of height adjustment, weight capacity, and positioning, making them the most economical and preferred option for healthcare facilities.
Radiolucent operating tables, on the other hand, are primarily designed for imaging compatibility, specialty surgery tables for specific procedures like orthopedics or neurosurgery, and pediatric operating tables tailored for younger patients and not addressing the general needs of adult surgeries. Such tables are typically more expensive and less adaptable, limiting their broader appeal. The multifunctionality and all-encompassing design of general surgery tables contribute to their dominance in the market.
“Cost-Effectiveness and Functionality of Powered Operating Tables Outperform Non-Powered and Hybrid Options”
Globally, powered operating tables dominated the operating tables category in 2024 with a value share of around 55.4%. Compared to non-powered and hybrid operating tables, powered operating tables offer significant advantage in terms of automated adjustments, enhanced precision, flexibility, and ease of use, enabling precise movements during surgery.
On the other hand, non-powered tables although cost-effective, lacks flexibility and precision of powered operating tables, often requiring manual adjustments. Comparatively, hybrid operating tables are quite expensive and require specialized maintenance as they offer integration with advanced imaging capabilities, limiting their accessibility. The balance of cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and functionality positions powered operating tables as the dominant option in the market, catering to both general and specialized surgical needs with high efficiency.
North America operating tables market held 39.6% of global market share in 2024. Increasing demand for surgical procedures, growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and substantial investment in healthcare technology have significantly boosted the North American healthcare sector.
The U.S. operating tables market stands at the forefront, driven by large number of hospitals and surgical centers, as well as growing focus on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries. This, in turn, is fueling the market for advanced multifunctional operating tables with ergonomic designs, imaging integration and automated adjustments.
The Canadian operating tables market, on the other hand, is driven by growing focus on cost-effective yet efficient solutions, coupled with an increasing number of specialized surgeries aimed at improving patient care and safety. This is creating demand for both powered and non-powered operating tables in various medical settings.
Both countries benefit from a well-established healthcare framework and strong demand for surgical innovations, ensuring North America's leadership.
Europe operating tables market is the second-leading globally generating a significant share of 31.1% in 2024, driven by a combination of technological advancements, an aging population, and rising healthcare investments across key countries.
The German operating tables market stands as a key sector in the European market owed to strong focus on medical innovation, robust healthcare infrastructure, and commitment to cutting-edge healthcare technology, including increasing adoption of multifunctional operating tables. Germany continues to experience steady demand for operating tables driven by its extensive network of hospitals and surgical centers.
The UK operating tables market is fueled by the increasing demand for MIS procedures, fundings by National Health Service (NHS) for modernizing surgical facilities and increasing focus on efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This has led to greater adoption of both powered and non-powered operating tables, especially in outpatient and specialty surgery centers.
Asia Pacific operating tables market is estimated to grow by 4.5% during the 2025 - 2032 period.
