Global medical carts market in 2016 was valued at USD 1.28 Billion. This market is forecast to grow by 15.2% over the forecast period. Market growth is attributed to the rising incidence of musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) as well as growing adoption of electronic medical records in hospitals. The availability of more technologically advanced products, which offer better configurations, construction, options, features, and other features, has led to a greater adoption of mobile carts.
Mobile carts are essential for providing hassle-free patient care. To streamline routine clinical workflows such as medication recording and fluid administration, and to document inpatient admissions, the demand for small-handled mobile carts is on the rise.
Market growth is expected to be driven by the growing need to assist medical and surgical staff over the forecast period. A secure medication cart with a tablet PC and a computer station is much more convenient than a separate cart. This not only saves space but also costs less. These solutions are especially useful for critical care units that have limited floor space. This will lead to an increase in demand for these medical carts over the forecast period.
The emergence of telemedicine/telehealth and availability of technologically advanced medical carts are among factors contributing to market growth. These products increase nursing efficiency, which helps with better patient care. A key growth driver is the rise in demand for point of care diagnostic technology.
Due to their high adoption rate by hospitals, mobile computing carts dominated the revenue share in 2016. The technologically advanced mobile computing carts use a battery-operated system that includes a lithium ironphosphate battery. The demand for mobile medical carts is expected to rise due to improved ergonomics and new designs. To gain an advantage over their competitors, vendors are working to develop easy-to-implement technology.
Mobile computing carts are being widely adopted due to increasing emphasis on nursing efficiency, rising hospital costs, and the need for quick and easy access to critical medical supplies.
The dominance of this segment is due to supportive government initiatives that encourage the adoption of EMRs and telehealth services at hospitals. Medical carts are expected to grow due to increased adoption of EMR like Electronic Medication Administration Record, (eMAR), and Bar Code Medication Administration(BCMA) in order to avoid medication errors.
There are many types of medical carts: emergency, anesthesia, procedure and treatment and others. In 2016, the largest share of revenue went to emergency medical carts. This is due to the higher use of emergency care units. These carts will be in high demand as patients in emergency rooms are more likely to get infected.
These medical carts can be easily cleaned and come with any medical equipment or drugs needed in an emergency, such as cardiac arrest. These medical carts will be more popular due to improvements in mobility, lighter weight, and ergonomics.
Due to the consistent use of these carts within several hospital settings, the procedure segment will gain popularity over time. These carts are extremely useful in performing procedures such as endoscopy and cardiology, and they also provide access to vital therapeutics. These benefits will be a driving force for future growth in the market.
The largest users of medical carts are hospitals. Their adoption is driven by the availability of mobile, technologically advanced medical workstations. These innovations include flexible, secure, and efficient medication delivery systems.
The demand for medical carts is expected to rise due to increased patient engagement and promotion incentives programs in hospitals to encourage patient participation.
These workstations will be increasingly used in physician's offices and standalone clinics over the next few years. This is due to the increased awareness and demand for single-stop solutions that are smaller and can be used for multiple medical needs. These carts are useful in transporting medicines, computers and storage cabinets. Their adoption is expected to grow significantly in clinics over the forecast period.
North America was the region with the highest revenue share in 2016, and it is expected to grow at an exponential rate over the next few years. The region's dominance in medical cart sales is due to its simplified healthcare operations, from hospital admissions to reimbursements, and the availability of integrated healthcare IT systems that can maintain EHR.
To meet customer demand, medical device manufacturers in the region are working to develop advanced medical carts with wheels. Companies are expanding their product range to include advanced technological products like clinical workstations with batteries and security drawers as well as automated dispensing systems.
Asia Pacific is set to experience lucrative growth, as local manufacturers are focusing their efforts on low-cost devices that have higher efficiency. Due to the low cost of labor, international players are also investing in local businesses.
This market is fragmented, and there are many small and large players. AFC Industries, Ergotron, Inc.,Enovate Medical, JACO, Inc., Harloff Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Harloff Industries, Inc., Medline Industries, Inc., and Hergo Ergonomic Support Systems, Inc. are some of the major market players.
To gain an advantage over their competitors, companies are adopting strategies like product innovation, mergers & acquisitions, partnerships and regional expansion. The market will be driven by the increasing demand from hospitals for advanced IT solutions in healthcare to improve patient care and safety.
Companies are expected to increase competition by adopting product launch strategies. Ergotron, Inc., for example, launched a powered medical workstation that aids nursing staff who are more vulnerable to musculoskeletal injury. Market growth is also due to increased collaboration strategies to increase the number of clinical carts available to provide cost-efficient healthcare.
