Medical Lighting Technologies Market

Medical Lighting Technologies Market Outlook (2023-2033)

The global medical lighting technologies market is valued at US$ 8.21 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 16.15 billion by 2033. This is based on the fact that worldwide demand for medical lighting technologies is predicted to increase rapidly at a CAGR of 7% during the next 10 years.

Medical lighting technologies, based on the product, are classified into surgical lighting systems, examination lighting systems, specialty lighting & accessories. Global demand for surgical lighting systems is expected to increase at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period.

Surgical lighting systems, also known as surgical lights, are medical tools that support medical professionals during surgical procedures by lighting a patient's cavities or specific areas nearby. Rapid improvements in healthcare systems are increasing the number of hospitals, which is further raising the adoption rate of cutting-edge LED surgical lights.

Rapidly expanding healthcare facilities in various emerging nations are expected to create an exponential increase in the demand for surgical lighting systems in hospitals. Increasing need for surgical operating rooms is growing demand for cutting-edge healthcare facilities. Thus, it is anticipated that rising infrastructure investments and the growing number of hospitals with better equipment to provide better care will support the growth of medical lighting technologies.

Global sales of examination light systems are expected to increase at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2023 to 2033. Examination lights are primarily made to give medical professionals a bright, clear light field for routine examination or diagnosis. The primary goal of the producers while creating this sort of light is to create a straightforward design with maximum visibility.

Strong light output, cool exteriors for extended use, good colour rendition, and a long lifespan are just a few of the clinical benefits. New products with characteristics such as efficient white lighting, shadow-free technology, and other advancements have been introduced as a result of the influx of technology and the increasing focus on R&D activities by market players.

Medical lighting technologies are the backbone of medical equipment in operating rooms and surgical suites, where they play a key role. Medical lighting systems are necessary for providing an operating room with adequate lighting that gives the surgeon the best visibility possible.

They offer a range of benefits, including minimal heating for prolonged periods, shadow-free lighting, and pure white light, all of which help the personnel properly perform surgical treatments. There are several different types of operating lights used in healthcare facilities for various procedures. Additionally, producers provide surgical lights in single- and dual-head designs, as well as a range of brightness levels (up to 160,000 Lux).

Dental surgeons also make significant demand for surgical lights. The majority of dental surgeons have switched to personalised surgical dental loupes in recent years to better meet the specific requirements of individual dental practitioners, which is another factor contributing to the growth of the surgical headlights market.

The desire for well-equipped operating rooms among doctors and surgeons, as well as the need for cutting-edge healthcare facilities, especially in developing countries, are likely to drive the growth of the global medical lighting technologies market.

Which are the Latest Trends in Medical Lighting Technologies?

“Rapid Developments in Field of Surgical Lights”

The development of surgical lamps as a field of technology has been primarily responsible for the global medical lighting technologies market growth. Since halogen lights were replaced with LED (Light-emitting Diode) technology, the need for LED lighting systems in the operating lights business has increased dramatically.

Several medical lighting companies continually prioritise R&D to offer superior operating room lights on the market.

• For instance, in 2019 BihlerMed, a leading provider of medical light technology and solutions collaborated with View Medical to introduce the ground-breaking SurgiLight surgical lighting system. The device's ergonomically flexible shafts, which remain locked in place after adjustment, allow for quicker and more precise placement of the light source.

Advanced medical lighting technologies include cordless surgical headlights, CFL surgical lights, optic fiber surgical lights, wireless surgical headlights, wearable led lights, surface-mounted lights, portable surgical medical headlights, and more.

The steady shift from halogen to LED-based technologies is speeding up, especially in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil where healthcare facilities are now concentrating on replacing halogen lighting with LED lighting solutions.

“High Number of Medical Lighting Installations Due to Rising Rate of Medical Procedures”

Hours are used to measure a surgical light's lifespan. The lifespan of advanced LED lighting is predicted to be between 40,000 and 60,000 hours. A proportionately faster replacement of these lights in operating rooms is being brought on by the employment of lights for longer durations during an increasing number of cardiovascular, neurological, and dental surgical treatment operations.

Demand for medical lighting technologies is increasing due to the rising demand for sophisticated lighting systems from several end users. Surgery lights play a vital role in the heart, the nervous system, ENT, the female reproductive system, and other surgeries.

Due to the exponential rise in chronic illness prevalence, increasing per capita spending, and rise in surgical operations, the demand for medical technologies is increasing.

What May Lower Sales Growth of Medical Lighting Technologies?

“High Installation & Maintenance Costs”

The medical lighting technologies market is growing at a high pace, but some factors may hamper the market growth.

High medical lighting installation costs and maintenance costs are some of the factors that may restrain sales growth to some extent.
