Product Definition:
Medical scales are devices used to measure the weight of a person or an object. They are commonly used in hospitals and clinics to weigh patients.
Regular Scales:
Regular scales are the most basic weighing instruments used in medical settings. They come in a variety of forms such as bathroom scales, kitchen scales, veterinary weighing machines and more. The regular scale is mostly used to weigh human beings and it's also known as balance scale or weight measuring instrument (WMI). It has two main components i.e., platform & weights which can be lifted up by a lever or button operated mechanism to start the weighing process.
Wheelchair Scales:
The wheelchair scales are used to measure the weight of a patient in a wheelchair. It is an essential tool for caregivers who need to move or transfer patients from one place to another. The device consists of two metal pans, which are connected by rods and can be lowered or elevated as per requirement.
It is important that the scale should have accurate measurements so that it can be used for accurately measuring body weight.
Application Insights:
The hospital segment dominated the global medical scales market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to increasing geriatric population, which requires regular monitoring for body weight and height. Rising number of obese patients also require regular weighing for treatment planning at hospitals. These factors are likely to drive the demand for medical scales in hospital settings over the forecast period.
Household is expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments owing to rising awareness about healthy eating habits among consumers, coupled with a hectic work schedule that does not allow them time for cooking nutritious food items. This has led many consumers towards purchasing household scales that help them maintain proper nutrition levels by tracking their daily calorie intake through weigh-ins at breakfast, lunch and dinner times only.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The presence of key players, favorable reimbursement policies, and high adoption rate for new technologies are some factors contributing to its growth. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), around 6 million people in U.
Asia Pacific is expected grow at a lucrative CAGR during the forecast period due to various initiatives taken by governments across countries like China & India for improving healthcare infrastructure coupled with rising awareness about early diagnosis of diseases & disorders. Moreover, economic development has led towards improvement in living standards which has resulted into increased demand for medical scales used by patients themselves at home or any other place without having access control problems associated with doctors’ visits or hospitals etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for medical scales due to the increase in obesity and diabetes cases.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using medical scales for accurate weight measurement and diagnosis.
- Technological advancements in medical scales that offer enhanced accuracy, features, and portability.
- Growing demand for digital medical scales that provide detailed information on weight, body mass index (BMI), and other health parameters.
