Patient Handling Equipment Market to Hit $40B by 2026: Global Market Insights, Inc.

SELBYVILLE, Del., June 15, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​Global Market Insights, Inc. has recently added a new report on the patient handling equipment market which estimates the market valuation for patient handling equipment will cross US $40 billion by 2026. The increasing advantages associated with patient handling equipment, coupled with surging incidence of disabilities among the older population, will drive business growth during the forecast period.

The increasing risk of injuries to caregivers during manual handling of patients will surge the demand for patient handling equipment across the globe. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common type of injuries among caregivers while lifting, repositioning and moving patients manually from one place to another. Additionally, the majority of injuries were due to overexertion and high-risk activities including transferring and manual lifting of patients. Therefore, lower back, neck, upper back and shoulders are the most affected body parts due to heavy manual lifting. Moreover, the risk of developing MSDs can be minimized by providing hospitals with specific tools and equipment for better patient care.

The mechanical lifting and transfer equipment product segment accounted for over a 12% market share in 2019. Mechanical and transfer equipment are commonly used in healthcare centers such as hospitals and rehabilitation centers for easy and comfortable patient movement. Additionally, the surging number of disability cases worldwide, requiring mechanical and transfer equipment will drive segmental growth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1.9 billion adults were overweight in 2016, among them around 650 million people were obese. Thus, rising cases of obesity will foster market progression.

Implementation of regulations for ensuring the safety of healthcare personnel against the manual lifting of patients will upsurge the market growth over the upcoming years. Government regulations in several countries are focusing on promoting safe patient handling practices to ensure the safety of caregivers as well as patients during the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Till 2018, around 11 states of the U.S. were practicing safe handling regulations including Rhode Island, Maryland, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas and Washington. These states implemented minimal lift policy while moving, transferring and relocating the patients. Thus, growing government initiatives for promoting the use of mobility assistance equipment will act as a major factor propelling the industry's growth.

The fall prevention segment will witness around USD 3.5 billion in 2019. The surging number of fall incidents, coupled with the increasing number of geriatric population is anticipated to boost the segmental growth. Moreover, various technological advancements including tracking devices and fall prevention equipment that easily tracks patients daily movements will augment the patient handling equipment business growth.

The elderly care facilities segment accounted for around a 16% market share in 2019. The rising number of care management services for older adults including nursing homes, family-provided and professionally-provided elderly care facilities will boost the business progression. Numerous benefits over hospitals and home care settings will foster the demand for elderly care facilities. In addition, these centers are equipped with better and advanced care facilities with 24-hour supervision that will substantially stimulate segmental growth.
