Market Overview:
The global patient handling equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising geriatric population, and growing demand for home care settings. Based on type, the patient transferring and repositioning equipment segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global patient handling equipment market in 2018. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2018 to 2030 due to increasing demand for safe and efficient methods for transferring and repositioning patients. Based on application, the home care settings segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global patient handling equipment market in 2018.
Product Definition:
Patient handling equipment includes devices used to move or position a patient, such as a gurney, wheelchair, stretcher, or bed. These devices help to prevent injuries to healthcare workers and patients by reducing the amount of manual lifting and carrying required.
Patient Transferring and Repositioning Equipment:
Patient transferring and positioning equipment is used to move patients from one place to another in an emergency or for the convenience of patients. It includes devices such as beds, stretchers, gurneys, etc. Patient transfer and positioning equipment are used in hospitals as well as at-home healthcare settings by trained professionals with proper training.
Mobilizing Equipment:
Mobilizing equipment is used to transfer patients, especially those with limited mobility. It includes devices such as hospital beds, gurneys, and wheelchairs. Mobilizing equipment is essential for patient handling as it provides stability and comfort to the patients while transferring them from one place to another in a healthcare facility or ambulatory care setting.
The global patient handling equipment market size was valued at USD 6.6 billion in 2016.
Application Insights:
The market is segmented by application into home care settings, hospitals, and elderly care facilities. The hospital segment dominated the global patient handling equipment market in 2017 owing to increasing number of surgeries globally. According to WHO, an estimated 1.3 million people die each year due to medical errors and this number is increasing at a rapid pace as compared to deaths due to accidents or violence which accounts for around 5% of total deaths worldwide every year. Thus, rising cases of death in hospitals across the world are contributing towards high demand for patient handling equipment in hospitals thereby driving the growth of this segment significantly over the forecast period.
The home care settings segment is expected register significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to growing geriatric population across various regions including North America, Europe & Russia and Asia Pacific which increases chances of suffering from chronic diseases requiring regular doctor visits resulting in increased need for patient handling equipment at homes thus fueling demand over next few years.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The presence of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, high awareness among people about patient safety, and increasing demand for home care are some of the major factors driving regional growth. Moreover, growing geriatric population and rising incidences of chronic diseases are expected to drive the demand for patient handling equipment in this region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to improving healthcare facilities and growing medical tourism industry in countries such as India, China, Malaysia & Thailand (IMT). In addition, rapidly developing economies such as China & India have been witnessing strong economic growth over past few years which has led to an increase in disposable income; thereby fueling consumer spending on health-related products including hospital beds and other aids for patients’ transfer & positioning needs.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for patient handling equipment from hospitals and clinics
- Rising geriatric population and their need for patient handling equipment
- Technological advancements in the design of patient handling equipment
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using patient handling equipment
- Increasing number of accidents and injuries that require use of patient handling equipment
