Product Definition:
Positioning supports are objects that help to position a person or object in a specific place. They are often used in manufacturing and construction to hold materials in place while they are being worked on. Positioning supports can also be used to help stabilize objects, or to keep them from moving around.
Head Support:
Head support is a device used to provide comfort and stability to patients suffering from neck pain, sprain or injury. It helps in reducing the stress on the cervical spine by cushioning it and providing relief from pain. The head support can be of different types such as pillows, foam rollers, lumbar rolls or slings which are available in various shapes and sizes according to consumer requirements.
Shoulder Support:
Shoulder support and positioning supports are used in the production of high-quality textile products. These products assist in maintaining the posture of operators during work, which is highly beneficial for workers engaged in manual labor. The shoulder positioner provides comfort to operators by supporting their shoulders and helps maintain a steady posture while performing any task from a sitting position to overhead positions.
Application Insights:
The global positioning supports market is segmented based on application into wheelchair, hospital bed, and others. The other application segment includes vehicle mount, scooter mount and bed mount. The wheelchair held the largest share of the overall revenue in 2017 due to increasing demand for mobility devices among individuals with disabilities. Moreover, an increase in road traffic accidents has resulted in a significant rise in the number of wheelchairs across the globe which is expected to boost product demand over the forecast period.
Hospital beds are expected to be one of fastest growing segments during future years as a result of increasing number of surgeries being performed globally along with rising prevalence rate for various diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases that require medical monitoring throughout patient¢â‚¬â„¢s stay at hospitals or clinics resulting in high product demand at this time point.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the increasing prevalence of orthopedic conditions and rising geriatric population. In addition, growing R&D investments by companies for developing advanced products is expected to drive growth over the forecast period. Europe accounted for a significant share in 2017 owing to high adoption of positioning devices due to large patient pool and favorable reimbursement policies.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period due to improving healthcare infrastructure, economic development, increase in disposable income coupled with rise in consumer awareness regarding benefits of these devices such as improved mobility & independence and reduction on hospital stay duration are some factors driving regional market growth. Moreover, increasing government initiatives such as “Hospital E-Health†project implemented by Ministry of Health Labor & Welfare (MHLW) Japan will further boost demand for PLS systems used during medical procedures throughout hospitals thereby boosting revenue generation opportunities across this region.
