Global Operating Room Cameras Market 2017-2021

Global operating room cameras market forecast

Technavio’s market study identifies the growing preference for MI surgeries as one of the primary growth factors for the operating room cameras market. Influenced by technological advancements and advantages such as less after-surgery complications, the surgeons are increasingly preferring minimally invasive (MI) surgeries over the traditional open surgical procedures. Traditional surgeries result in longer hospital stays and several complications. This increases the preference for MI procedures, which in turn, influences the adoption of operating room (OR) cameras especially OR endoscopy cameras in various medical facilities. According to the operating room cameras market outlook, this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of around 7% by 2021.

Hybrid ORs are gaining popularity as they eliminate the need for patient transfers to imaging rooms. This enhances patient safety and minimizes the time taken to perform surgeries. Hybrid ORs are being increasingly preferred in neurosurgery, cardiology, and orthopedic surgeries as they are cost-efficient and also help in preventing medical errors. Hybrid ORs are equipped with additional video integration system, advanced OR cameras, ultrasound, and electromagnetic navigation systems to fulfill the consumer demand. This market research and analysis predicts the growing popularity of hybrid ORs as one of the key operating room cameras industry trends that will gain traction during the next few years.
