Patient handling equipment market to witness growth based
on rising prevalence of injuries such as lower back pain till
2024
“The patient handling equipment market is expected to reach USD 23.4 billion by
2024,the increasing prevalence of disabilities and increase in the geriatric population
is anticipated to drive the patient handling equipment market over the forecast
period.”
The patient handling equipment market is expected to reach USD 23.4 billion by
2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The upsurge in the
demand for products, such as slings, lifts, powered electric wheelchair, due to high risk
of physical injuries in manual lifting of heavy loads is a key growth driver of patient
handling equipment market. In addition, growing prevalence of injuries, such as lower
back pain, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), etc., is expected to boost growth in this
sector. These injuries are avoidable by practicing safe patient handling guidelines and
using equipment for the same.

Further Key Findings from the Study Suggest:

The mechanical and nonmechanical equipment segment is expected to grow at a
lucrative CAGR of above 12.0% owing to high penetration of hospital furniture,
stretchers, evacuation equipment, ambulatory aids, and accessories in
healthcare settings

On the other hand, medical beds dominated this industry in terms of revenue
share in 2015, due to high adoption rate by hospitals and long-term acute care
centers. Moreover, introduction of technologically enhanced products and
comfort offered by them are the factors attributing to its dominant share

Critical care segment is anticipated to grow lucratively during the forecast period,
due to rising treatment rates and adoption of equipment to curb increasing
prevalence of critical conditions and reduction in mishaps that occur during

patient handling. Moreover, the critical care nursing and intensive care units
requiring stable and safe handling practices for cardiothoracic, coronary, trauma,
and surgical units supporting patients’ health are expected to widen the
consumer base for these devices

Home care setting is anticipated to grow lucratively as a consequence of
increasing patient preference to reduce hospital stay and cost for the treatment.
In addition, the increasing preference of home care facilities by elderly patients’
are expected to intensify demand for patient handling equipment over the
forecast period. Moreover, increasing applications of long-term care programs,
home health agency, and homecare services are expected to propel market
growth during the forecast period
