Surgical Lighting System Market to Witness Robust Growth in North America and Asia Pacific


Surgical lamps are medical devices used as an integral part during surgeries and invasive medical procedures. Lighting is an integral part of healthcare infrastructure, as it is widely used in intensive care unit (ICU), wards, operation theatres (OT), and in other healthcare settings. Surgical lamps are widely used in healthcare settings by surgeons for endoscopic surgery, neurosurgery, optical surgery, and dental surgery. Moreover, surgical lamps optimally provide bright high-intensity and shadow-free lighting that helps visualize low-contrast and small objects within the body cavity during surgical procedures. They are widely used in ambulatory surgery centers and operating rooms in hospitals.

Growth of the surgical lighting system market is mainly driven by the increasing number of hospitals and surgical procedures worldwide. According to the American Hospital Association (2021), there are around 6,090 hospitals in the United States. Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 187.2 to 281.2 million major surgical procedures are undertaken worldwide every year. Surgical lighting system enables special balance of shadow management, temperature, volume, and luminance; helps minimize eye fatigue and maximize visibility at the surgical site. The aforementioned factors are expected to propel the surgical lighting system market growth.

For instance, in August 2019, BihlerMed, in partnership with View Medical, launched the SurgiLight surgical lighting system, a next-generation surgical illumination device designed as an alternative to headlamps and overhead lights, providing versatile, safe illumination, which can be precisely focused for specific surgical procedures. However, the high cost of these products due to constant evolution, with introduction of new features and designs, is restraining the surgical lighting system market growth. For instance, LED surgical lights based on various illumination techniques are estimated to cost from US$ 8,000 to US$ 15,000 in the U.S.

Growth of the surgical lighting system market, in North America and Asia Pacific, is attributed to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in these regions, especially in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Around 655,000 Americans die from heart disease each year; that’s 1 in every 4 deaths. Moreover, government initiatives to improve energy efficiency in hospitals are expected to drive the surgical lighting system market growth. According to the Ministry of Power, Government of India, there is a huge potential of energy savings in hospitals and healthcare institutions.
