Market Overview:
The global safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the SPHM market can be attributed to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, rising geriatric population, and growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries. In addition, government initiatives for safe patient handling and mobility are also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the air-assisted lateral transfer mattress segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global SPHM market in 2018. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% from 2018 to 2030 due to its abilityto reduce back injuries among healthcare workers during patient transfers.
 Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
SPHM is a term used to describe the use of safe patient handling equipment and techniques in order to minimize the potential for musculoskeletal injuries when transferring, repositioning, or lifting patients. SPHM is important because it can help prevent workers' compensation claims and improve patient care.
Air-Assisted Lateral Transfer Mattress:
The air-assisted lateral transfer mattress is a device that aids in the safe patient handling and mobility. It helps to reduce the risk of bedsores, pressure injuries, and skin rashes by approximately 80%. The mattress has an inflatable inner core made up of polyurethane. This air-filled cushioning layer provides support to patients suffering from arthritis or any other joint problems.
Sliding Sheets:
Sliding sheets are thin, flexible and lightweight pieces of plastic or cloth that can be used to move patients. They are placed between the patient's body and the bed or flooring surface to prevent injuries during transfer or handling. The material used in making these sheets is usually made from a non-absorbent material like plastic as it helps in preventing any type of bacterial infection.
Application Insights:
The others application segment held the largest share of over 50.0% in 2017. The other applications include home healthcare, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities among others. These locations are more prone to accidents as compared to hospitals or outpatient surgical centers due to lack of safety equipment and procedures for handling and moving patients from a bed onto a wheelchair or onto the floor safely. Thus, companies offering SPHM solutions are focusing on enhancing their products so that they can be used at these locations without causing any harm or injury to patients during transfer procedures.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. This can be attributed to the presence of a large number of hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare settings that use these products for patient transfer. The growing geriatric population and rising incidence of chronic diseases are also contributing toward market growth in this region.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing awareness about personal safety while moving from one placeto another or during medical procedures along with rising investments by manufacturers operating within this region towards expansion strategies.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for safe patient handling and mobility solutions from hospitals and healthcare facilities due to the increasing number of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as obesity, arthritis, and heart disease.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of safe patient handling and mobility solutions among hospital administrators, clinicians, and caregivers.
- Growing demand for technologically advanced safe patient handling and mobility solutions that can help reduce workplace injuries among hospital staff.
- Increasing investments by healthcare providers in safe patient handling and mobility solutions to improve the quality of care provided to patients.
- Proliferation of private-sector players in the global safe patient handling and mobility market that is expected to result in increased competition among vendors
