From 2021 to 2028, the Global Operating Room Integration Market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 11.2%, with a market value of US$ 1.58 Billion in 2020.

In the operation theatre (OT), integration mainly refers to systems integration, which involves connecting the operation theatre environment functionally. It comprises audio, video, surgical lighting, room lights, building automation (HVAC), medical equipment, telemedicine, and videoconferencing, among other things. When all technology is interconnected, a single operator may control it all from a central command console. Integration in operation theatre is crucial for the successful implementation of minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, and hybrid operation theatre. An integrated operation room saves time and resources by allowing existing employees to conduct more operations in the same room without putting additional load on the team or shifting equipment or workers from another OT.

Market Dynamics

The increasing number of surgeries all over the world propels the global operating room integration market growth. Hospitals are increasingly attempting to construct state-of-the-art OTs in order to recruit and retain medical workers by providing them with cutting-edge facilities. Having integrated technology, such as knowledge or bulletin board systems, improves overall efficiency and patient safety in the OT. These systems integrate patient and staff information, as well as equipment and procedure documentation, and display it on a large screen in the room.

Changes in reimbursement regulations and a tendency toward shorter inpatient stays have made surgery the major source of revenue for hospitals during the last two decades. One reason for this is that hospitals are increasingly looking to develop cutting-edge operating rooms. By attracting and maintaining top surgeons by providing them with the most advanced instruments, a clinic can perform more treatments.

Operating room integration arose from the development and expansion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). In the United States nowadays, minimally invasive surgery is used in more than half of the instances. Slender surgical steel tubes are placed through small incisions in the anatomy to route surgical tools, cameras, aspiration tubes, lighting, and air management systems. The surgeon has an optimum view of the surgery field thanks to a high-quality, enlarged video presented on a flat-screen monitor. Smaller incisions imply less discomfort, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays—or none at all. Operating room integration will likely become the industry norm within the next few years as MIS grows and robotic surgery and telemedicine become increasingly popular.

High costs involved with integrating modern technologies into existing infrastructure, as well as a shortage of experienced workers to manage these systems, are projected to stymie the worldwide operating room integration market's expansion. Furthermore, the growing medical tourism, rapid urbanization in emerging economies, improving healthcare infrastructure across the world are expected to further drive the market in coming years.
