Hospital Stretchers Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product Type (Fixed Height, Adjustable Height, Bariatric, Radiographic and Other Product Types), Technology (Non-Motorized and Motorized), Application, and By Geography.
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hospital Stretchers Market is accounted for $3.00 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $4.88 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Hospital stretchers are medical devices designed to transport and support patients within healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, or emergency response settings. They provide a safe and comfortable platform for moving patients during medical procedures, transfers between departments, diagnostics, surgeries, or emergencies. They are typically equipped with features like adjustable height, backrest, and side rails to ensure proper patient positioning, ease of access, and safety during transportation.
According to the WHO, every year, approximately 17.9 million people die owing to CVDs. Also, as per the CDC, every year, 805,000 Americans have a heart attack and about 655,000 Americans die from heart disease.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising healthcare expenditure
Rising healthcare spending globally is leading to higher investments in modernising healthcare infrastructure, including the acquisition of advanced hospital stretchers. As nations prioritise healthcare system enhancement to meet growing patient demands and improve medical facilities, budgets allocated to healthcare equipment procurement, such as stretchers, are expanding. Additionally, the need for efficient patient transfer, critical care support, and specialised features like motorised stretchers or bariatric stretchers drives healthcare facilities to invest in modern, sophisticated stretcher solutions. Thus, there is an escalating demand for advanced hospital stretchers and other medical equipment.
Restraint:
High cost of specialized stretchers
The hospital stretchers market faces a challenge in the form of the high cost associated with advanced stretchers. These specialized stretchers, equipped with advanced features and technology, incur substantial expenses in development, manufacturing, and maintenance. The high cost hampers widespread adoption, particularly in healthcare facilities with budget constraints or in regions with limited financial resources. This cost barrier poses a challenge for healthcare providers seeking to upgrade or expand their stretcher inventory, potentially affecting patient care and overall healthcare system efficiency. Therefore, it is hampering market growth.
Opportunity:
Growing demand for mobile and versatile stretchers
The market for hospital stretchers is experiencing substantial growth due to the increasing demand for mobile and versatile stretchers. The importance of patient flexibility and mobility within medical facilities is being prioritised by healthcare systems. Mobile stretchers provide increased flexibility, enabling effective movement throughout hospitals, among departments, and even in emergency situations. Versatile stretchers can be used for a variety of patient demands and medical procedures through features like height adjustability, backrest positioning, and ergonomic designs. Also, stretchers that are mobile and adaptable help to improve staff comfort and productivity, as well as patient flow and resource management. Additionally, the inclusion of cutting-edge technologies like built-in monitoring systems and networking possibilities has increased demand for these stretchers. Therefore, these are creating a significant market opportunity to meet the increasing demand for mobile and versatile stretchers in modern healthcare environments.
Threat:
Compliance with Regulations and Standards
The hospital stretchers market faces a significant threat from strict regulatory compliance and evolving standards. Adhering to a complex web of regulations, certifications, and safety standards can burden manufacturers with increased development costs and time-consuming approval processes. Meeting these requirements is critical for market entry and product acceptance. Failure to comply can result in delays, financial losses, or even product recalls, hindering market penetration and eroding consumer trust. Staying updated with evolving regulations and efficiently navigating compliance challenges is essential for sustaining a competitive position in the hospital stretchers market.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic will both directly and indirectly boost market expansion. The market initially experienced rapid expansion as a result of the rise in COVID-19 cases, which led to an increase in hospital patient volume. However, as COVID claims decreased, patients' relevance in hospitals decreased, which resulted in a lower need for hospital stretchers. However, due to the rising prevalence of diseases and injuries, the market is currently picking up its growth speed. Moreover, stretchers provide a dependable yet cost-effective alternative in several countries where patient bedding is in low supply owing to the severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Pediatric Care segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Pediatric Care segment is estimated to hold the largest share, this segment within the hospital stretchers market caters to specialised stretchers designed for infants and children. These stretchers prioritise the unique medical and safety needs of young patients, offering appropriate sizing, comfort, and features for paediatric care. The demand for these stretchers is driven by the rising emphasis on paediatric healthcare, which requires safe and efficient transport within hospitals. In order to provide young patients with the best treatment feasible while addressing the unique obstacles posed by their size, weight, and medical problems, manufacturers in this market sector place emphasis on developing flexible and adaptable stretchers. This improves the delivery of paediatric healthcare.
The Adjustable Height segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The Adjustable Height segment is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. This segment encompasses stretchers equipped with height-adjustment features to accommodate various medical procedures and facilitate ease of use for healthcare professionals. These stretchers enable customization to different working levels, enhancing patient accessibility and ergonomics during examinations, transfers, or surgeries. Additionally, the requirement for flexible and adaptable medical equipment that can be easily incorporated into healthcare workflows is the factor that fuels the market for adjustable-height stretchers. Thus, there is propelling segment growth.
Region with largest share:
North America commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to well-established healthcare infrastructure, a growing number of obese people, and high investments in hospital infrastructure. A rise in the geriatric population is a key factor responsible for market growth. Also, the increasing prevalence of chronic disease and favourable healthcare policies in the region are fuelling the growth of the studied market in the region. Thus, the rising ageing and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are associated with the increase in hospital admissions, which is increasing the demand for hospital stretchers, thereby driving the growth of the studied market in the region.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness profitable growth over the projection period. The major market players in the Asia-Pacific area are China and India. An increase in hospitals and a rise in hospital admissions for emergency care are driving the market's expansion in this area. Some of the main factors enhancing the growth of this market are the swift development of the medical tourism sector in nations (such as India, Thailand, Singapore, and others) and the expanding geriatric population, which is more susceptible to ailments. Furthermore, an increase in the number of road traffic accidents, resulting in an increase in the patient population, is a major driver of market expansion.
