Operating Tables Market Report 2026

The operating tables market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.03 billion in 2025 to $1.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to manual operating tables with limited functionality, growing number of surgical procedures, demand for general surgery tables, lack of adjustable and specialty tables, reliance on hospital infrastructure for surgical positioning.

The operating tables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in powered and hybrid operating tables, increasing integration with imaging and surgical workflow systems, rising demand from ambulatory surgical centers, growth in pediatric and specialty surgeries, adoption of ergonomic and automated table designs. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of electrically powered operating tables, increasing use of radiolucent tables with imaging capabilities, growing demand for specialty surgery tables across multiple disciplines, increasing focus on adjustable and hybrid operating table designs, rising need for pediatric operating tables with height adjustments.

The rising number of surgical procedures is expected to drive growth in the operating tables market in the coming years. The increase in surgeries is attributed to advancements in medical technology, improved healthcare accessibility, and an aging population. Operating tables are crucial in surgical settings, providing a stable and adjustable platform to position patients optimally for various procedures. For example, in June 2024, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a US-based professional association, reported that nearly 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2023. Liposuction led with 347,782 procedures, a 7% increase from 2022, followed by breast augmentation at 304,181 procedures, up 2%. This rise in surgical procedures is therefore driving the operating tables market.

Major players in the operating table market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions, such as connected operating tables, to maintain a competitive edge. Connected operating tables are sophisticated surgical tables integrated with technology and connectivity features. For example, in October 2023, Getinge, a Sweden-based medical device manufacturer, launched the Maquet Corin, a cutting-edge operating room (OR) table designed to transform future healthcare. The table’s connectivity enables faster and more efficient maintenance by allowing service technicians to access device information in advance, providing remote guidance or arriving fully prepared. This technology enhances safety for both patients and OR staff, streamlines workflows, and supports high standards of patient and physician care.

In October 2024, Reinsberg Group, a Czech Republic-based medical technology company, acquired a majority stake in Brandon Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Reinsberg Group’s operating theater equipment offerings and strengthen its position in the operating tables market by integrating Brandon Medical’s surgical tables and OR infrastructure solutions. Brandon Medical, based in the UK, provides operating tables, surgical lights, control panels, and theater integration systems.

The main product types of operating tables include general surgery tables, radiolucent operating tables, specialty surgery tables, and pediatric operating tables. General surgery tables are designed to support a wide range of procedures, offering flexibility in patient positioning and features such as height adjustment and tilting. Operating tables are manufactured using technologies such as powered tables, non-powered tables, and hybrid tables, and they are used by hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
