The operating room management software market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The operating room management software market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will rise from $2.77 billion in 2024 to $3.11 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%.
The growth is attributed to government support, patient safety concerns, regulatory requirements, cost management needs, and the need for project redevelopment.
The operating room management software market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The operating room management software market is expected to grow rapidly, reaching $4.92 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 12.1%.
The growth is attributed to increasing minimally invasive surgeries, rising healthcare expenditures, more surgical procedures, medical tourism, and the prevalence of chronic diseases. Key trends include AI and machine learning adoption, cloud-based solutions, product innovations, interoperability, and enhanced data analytics.
The escalating volume of surgical operations is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the operating room management software market in the future. Surgical operations denote medical procedures carried out by a surgical team or a surgeon to diagnose, handle, or control a variety of health issues. The increase in surgeries is due to advances in medical tech, the elderly population, and the growing demand for surgical intervention. The use of operating room management software improves the planning, coordination, and effectiveness of surgical procedures, thus improving patient treatment and resource usage. For example, The Aesthetic Society, a US-based group specializing in plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine, reported that in August 2023, Americans invested over $11.8 billion in aesthetic procedures overall, a rise of 2% from the previous year. Consequently, the rise in the volume of surgical operations is steering the expansion of the operating room management software market.

Key players in the operating room management software market are emphasizing the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into their software in order to boost overall effectiveness, refine decision-making processes, and maximise resource allocation. In the realm of operating room software, AI refers to the inclusion of AI technologies tailored to improve the safety, accuracy, and efficiency of surgical procedures. A case in point is Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc., a medical device company based in the US, which in May 2022 unveiled enhanced AI capabilities for its Omni Suite intelligent operating room software. This cutting-edge AI feature aims to augment surgical workflow and procedural efficiency by automating manual duties and simplifying redundant technology and hardware. The AI capability employs cameras to automatically identify and record vital operating room (OR) workflow events like patient admission and discharge, door tally, anesthesia delivery, operation, and sanitation. This process provides surgical teams with real-time workflow analytics to enhance OR workflow effectiveness.
