Patient Handling Equipment Market Growing at a Healthy Rate in Home Healthcare Industry
The growth of patient handling devices market is largely driven by the
rising geriatric population, high risk of injuries to caregivers during the
manual handling of patients, and the implementation of regulations ensuring the
safety of healthcare personnel during manual lifting processes. On the other
hand, the persistent difficulties in handling bariatric patients are expected
to limit market growth to a certain extent.
Patient Handling Equipment Market is projected to reach USD 12.6 billion by 2024 from USD 8.9 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of
7.2% during the forecast period.
The wheelchairs & mobility scooters segment
is expected to account for the largest share of the mobility devices market in
2019
Based on type, the mobility devices market is segmented into wheelchairs &
mobility scooters and ambulatory aids. The wheelchairs & mobility scooters
segment is expected to account for the largest share of the mobility devices
market. The increasing geriatric, obese, and disabled population is the key
factor contributing to the growth of this market. This includes patients
suffering from chronic and degenerative diseases such as heart diseases,
cancer, and diabetes, all of which result in old-age disability. Similarly,
being obese increases the likelihood of a person suffering from related
co-morbidities that make it difficult to perform day-to-day tasks without
assistance.

handling equipment

hospitals, home care settings, and other end users (elderly care facilities,
emergency medical services, long-term acute care centers, trauma centers, and
nursing homes). The hospitals segment is expected to account for the largest
share of patient handling devices market in 2019. The large share of this
segment is primarily attributed to the growing patient population, rising
geriatric population, growing number of disabled people, increasing number of
injuries caused during the patient handling process, and the increasing preference
for patient handling equipment over manual handling in hospitals.
Europe will
continue to dominate the patient handling equipment market during the forecast
period
On the basis of region, the patient handling devices market is segmented
into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and
the Rest of the World (RoW). In 2019, Europe is expected to account for the
largest share of this market, followed by North America. The large share of this
regional segment is attributed to the growing number of government and
non-government initiatives regarding the adoption of safe patient handling
equipment, wide acceptance of a "no-lift" approach in European
countries, and the presence of a large number of equipment manufacturers
in Europe.
