TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Operating Tables Market: Getinge AB, STERIS Corp, TRUMPF Medical Systems Inc., Skytron Corp. and BERCHTOLD Corp.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Healthcare team said: ”One of the recent trends in the Global Operating Tables market is the increase in mergers and acquisitions. Vendors in the market are opting for mergers and acquisitions to increase their global presence, expand their product portfolio, and achieve economies of scale in the manufacture of products. Vendors can focus better on product innovation and increase their profit margins by collaborating with each other. For instance, in October 2011, Getinge acquired Atrium Medical Corp. by which Getinge enhanced its expertise in medical device technologies for the treatment of coronary and vascular diseases. Thus, mergers and acquisitions enable companies to expand their global customer base and their portfolio of products, solutions and services. This is expected to fuel the growth of the Global Operating Tables market during the forecast period.”
According to the report, the higher demand for surgical procedures rather than drug-based treatment is also influencing the use of operating tables. Thus, there is growing demand for operating tables from healthcare organizations such as hospitals as well as from diagnostic centers and R&D labs.
Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in this market is the presence of many local and regional vendors in the market, which has resulted in price wars. The price war has had a negative impact on the top and bottom lines of those vendors.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are Denyers International Pty Ltd., Eschmann Holdings Ltd., Mizuho Ikakogyo Co., Stille AB, Medifa-Hesse GmbH and Co., and Image Diagnostics Inc.
