Global Patient Handling Equipment Market by Type (Fall Prevention, Bariatric Care, Critical Care, Wound Care), by End Use (Hospitals, Elderly Care Facilities, Home Care Settings), by Product (Mechanical & Nonmechanical Equipment, Ambulatory Aids, Medical Beds, Wheelchairs & Scooters) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Industry Insights
In 2015, the global market for patient handling equipment was worth USD 9.6 billion. This market is expected to grow rapidly due to the increasing importance of regulations and guidelines for manual handling.
Regulations, such as the Lifting Equation with Recommended Weight Limit (RWL), by the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health, ensure that patients are handled effectively and caregivers are protected from injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Workplace Safety and Health Council, Manual Handling Code of Practice and European Agency for Safety & Health at Work(EU-OSHA), have also provided guidelines that will increase patient handling equipment.
North America - Market share for patient handling equipment, by product, 2013-2024 (USD Million).
The market for patient handling equipment will be driven by the growing prevalence of disabilities and the increase in the elderly population over the forecast period. According to World Health Organization estimates, there will be approximately 1.18 million people with some form of disability by 2021. By 2031, that number will rise to 1.43 million. In the near future, growth will be driven by technologically advanced and safer products that can be used easily and protect caregivers from MSDs.
Product Insights
2015 saw a significant increase in the number of medical beds. The growth in medical beds is due to the increasing use of equipment in hospitals, long-term acute care centers, nursing homes, trauma centers, nursing homes, and home care. Additionally, the demand for medical beds has increased due to upgrades such as adjustable angles and bed frames. Advanced beds will be in high demand because of their key benefits, including shear and friction reductions, battery backup and ease-of-use assembly and disassembly.
Type Insights
Due to increasing incidences of medical conditions like pressure ulcers, burns, postoperative injuries, venous leg ulcers, and diabetic ulcers, wound care was identified as a dominant segment in 2015. The industry's growth is expected to be boosted by the advancements in wound care technology, including stem cell therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatment, bioengineered tissues, and negative pressure wound therapy.
End-Use Information
Hospitals dominated the end-use market in 2015 due to their increasing use of patient handling equipment to ensure the safety of caregivers and patients. Market growth is also due to the increasing implementation of safety guidelines, and the pressure from the government authorities to adhere to these guidelines.
The National Patient Safety Agency, for example, monitors incidents involving patients in hospitals to improve patient health in the UK. Market growth will be driven by the increased expenditure on healthcare infrastructure to provide better services and facilities.
Regional Insights
In 2015, Europe accounted for a significant revenue share in the global patient handling equipment market. This is due to Europe's large number of healthcare facilities and trained professionals. It also has a demand for higher quality services, as well as supportive regulations for patient safety.
North America, however, is expected to grow at an attractive rate because of rising demand for homecare equipment, growing geriatric population and supportive government assistance to improve infrastructure and medical facilities. The market is expected to grow due to an increase in Musculoskeletal Disorders, which will continue to rise over the forecast period.
