The iData Research report, “U.S. Market for Video, High-Tech and Integrated OR 2012,” showed that the market was valued at more than $1.7 billion in 2011. The expected growth in 2012 is due to increased OR integration and the increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgical procedures. The report also indicated that 21 percent of all ORs were fully or partially integrated in 2011. This percentage is expected to nearly double by 2018.
