Patient Lifting Equipment Market by Product (Ceiling/Overhead Lift, Stair Lift, Mobile/Floor Lift, Sit to Stand Lift, Bath & Pool Lift, Lifting Slings, Lifting Accessories), End User (Hospital, Home Care, Elderly Care Facility) - global forecast to 2024
[132 Pages Report] The patient lifting equipment market is projected to reach USD 5.4 billion in 2024 from USD 3.0 billion in 2019, at CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period. Market growth is largely driven by factors such as increasing research global geriatric & bariatric populations, the 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. However, the lack of training provided to caregivers for the efficient operation of patient handling equipment is expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
By product, the mobile lifts segment is expected to witness above-average growth in the patient lifting equipment market during the forecast period.
Mobile lifts are expected to show the highest growth in the forecast period. Mobile lifts are sling-based and promote a cost-effective and effortless transfer of heavy patients from one place to another without the need for professional uninstallation and reinstallation, as required for ceiling lifts. These advantages promote the adoption of mobile lifts, especially in home care settings and elderly care facilities.
By end-user, the home care settings segment is growing at the highest rate.
The home care settings segment is projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to the increasing focus on reducing healthcare costs and government initiatives to promote home healthcare. The growth of the global home healthcare market is expected to subsequently drive the demand for patient lifting equipment.
North America is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period.
The patient lifting equipment market is divided into four major regions Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). In 2018, Europe accounted for the largest share of the global market, closely followed by North America. North America is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
