The hospitals segment was valued at USD 1.10 billion in 2017. There is a large number of public and private hospitals all over the world, which are usually the first choice for diagnosis, treatment, and surgical intervention for individuals suffering from critical health conditions. Hospitals are well equipped with highly qualified medical professionals who have experience in surgical procedures and adequate knowledge of handling wounds resulting from an adverse event, such as accidents or trauma. The above factors will increase the segment growth during the forecast period.

Type Analysis

LED lights

The light-emitting diode (LED) segment of the global market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. LED is a semiconductor light source. It is a P-N junction diode that produces light when activated. The LED lighting segment will see increased traction globally due to its efficiency and benefits, such as power saving, longer lifespan, and lower payback period. As opposed to halogen lamps, which produce light and heat in all directions, LEDs are directional lighting sources meaning they only release light where it is needed. LED surgical lights have diverged into different sub-technologies catering to similar and specialized interests. Hospital authorities around the world have replaced their existing lighting systems with light-emitting diodes. In addition, modern LED surgical lights provide better-quality lighting than their counterparts and can meet the needs of different surgeries. Thus, these advantages of LED will increase the demand for LED surgical lights and, in turn, will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

Halogen lights

The halogen bulb segment features a tungsten filament that is similar to a typical incandescent bulb, though it is considerably smaller in size and contains halogen gas inside it. In comparison to standard incandescent lights, halogen bulbs are known for their higher-rated life, moderately higher efficiency, and high quality of light.  Aluminosilicate glass, high silica glass, or fused quartz shall be used to make the bulb. The halogen bulb is superior to regular glass because of its resistance to high pressure. There are five types of halogens, namely astatine, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. The halogen light bulb has a compact size and an impressive lumen output. Some of the advantages of halogen light include low cost of production, lightweight, and others. Thus, owing to such advantages, halogen lights are used during surgeries.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. 

Key Market Drivers

The increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases is driving growth in the market.  The positive growth of the global surgical lighting market is stimulated by a rising number of surgeries, coupled with an increasing incidence of chronic diseases. The incidence of chronic diseases is constantly increasing due to the sedentary lifestyle, environmental issues, excessive smoking and alcohol consumption, and unhealthy eating habits. 

However, the increasing geriatric population, coupled with age-related diseases, especially orthopedic disorders, increases the demand for surgeries. Thus,  the demand for medical lights will be increased by an increasing target population with chronic conditions requiring surgery as the most appropriate treatment option, which, in turn, will contribute to the growth of the market both in terms of volume and revenue during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

The increase in the adoption of LED surgical lights is a primary trend in the market. Compared to other lighting, like halogen lights, the use of LED light in applications is being increased due to higher energy efficiency, long life span, and green features. LEDs have a technical advantage over traditional halogen lamps that produce heat and have a limited bulb lifespan. In addition, LED lights have a longer lifespan than halogen lights, which helps in reducing the replacement cost.

Moreover, LED surgical lights are a sustainable solution that, along with technological advancements, reduces the ecological footprint.  The use of LEDs allows healthcare workers to be able to regulate the lighting needed for procedures, and according to surgeons' preferences, reduces eye fatigue when working in hospital operating rooms. Thus, the adoption of LED surgical lights has been increasing, which, in turn, will propel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenges

The negative impact of surgical lights on surgeons is a major challenge for market growth. An absence of ambient high-intensity light, especially during operations, can cause eye strain and fatigue. The American Academy of Ophthalmology states that excessive or inappropriate lighting is one of the primary causes of eye strain (asthenopia) among surgeons and other operating theater technicians.

However, using the right light spectrum can enhance visualization, simplify intraoperative choices, and speed up the surgery. Thus, companies must offer lights that can be adjusted to minimize eye strain. Therefore, as a result of this demand from end users, companies must invest in the development and use of supplementary features for surgery lighting systems, which will lead to additional costs in their production, which will negatively impact the market in focus during the forecast period.
