Surgical tables, also known as operating tables, are crucial equipment found in operating rooms where surgical procedures take place. Their primary function is to provide a stable and adjustable platform that supports patients in various positions required for different surgeries, thereby enhancing access and visibility for the surgical team.
The primary types of surgical tables include general, specialty, pediatric, and radiolucent models. General surgical tables are versatile and designed to accommodate a wide range of surgical procedures across different medical specialties. These tables feature adjustable settings and various positioning capabilities to cater to different patient sizes and surgical needs. They are available in powered and non-powered options, and are constructed from materials such as metal and composite. These tables are used by a variety of end-users including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

The surgical tables market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2024 to $1.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased hospital admissions, growth in medical tourism, increasing awareness of minimally invasive surgeries, increasing focus on patient safety, and growth in outpatient surgeries.
The surgical tables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing incidence of cardiovascular disorders, increasing number of surgeries, increasing demand for hybrid operating rooms, rising disposable income, and expanding healthcare infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, integration of imaging technologies, motorized and automated systems, hybrid operating rooms, and ergonomic designs.
The forecast of 5.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for hydraulic lift systems and radiolucent carbon fiber tops, sourced from key regions such as the Netherlands and Canada, could lead to installation delays and increased capital equipment expenses.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growth of the surgical table market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of surgeries. This rise is attributed to factors such as an aging population, advancements in medical technology, enhanced healthcare accessibility, and greater demand for elective procedures. Surgical tables play a crucial role in ensuring precise patient positioning, stability, versatility, imaging compatibility, ergonomic support for surgeons, and integration of advanced features for safe and efficient procedures. For example, in November 2023, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported a significant increase in hospital admissions for surgeries, reflecting a growing demand that is poised to boost the surgical table market.
