A medical bed is a specialized furniture item designed for patients in healthcare settings. These beds are specifically engineered to offer comfort, support, and safety for individuals receiving medical care, whether in hospitals, clinics, or at home. Equipped with various features and functionalities, medical beds are tailored to address the specific needs of patients and facilitate the work of healthcare providers.
The primary types of medical beds include electric medical beds, semi-electric medical beds, and manual medical beds. Electric medical beds are powered by electricity and can be adjusted to various positions to offer comfort and support to patients. They find application in both intensive care and non-intensive care settings, such as hospitals, home care settings, and rehabilitation centers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

The medical bed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.11 billion in 2024 to $4.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing aging population, prevalence of chronic diseases, advancements in healthcare infrastructure, rising healthcare expenditure, bariatric patient care needs.
The medical bed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to focus on patient safety and comfort, global pandemic preparedness, increasing surgical procedures, demographic shifts, rising incidence of lifestyle-related diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, medical tourism, regulatory standards and compliance, innovations in materials, telemedicine adoption, holistic patient care approach.
The forecast of 7.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on hydraulic and electric motor components from Mexico, raising manufacturing costs and limiting hospital bed availability in critical care units.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in hospital admissions due to chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the medical bed market. Various factors such as individual health conditions, socio-economic factors, healthcare infrastructure, and public health measures contribute to increased hospital admissions. Medical beds play a crucial role in providing care and support to patients during their stay in the hospital, enhancing comfort, safety, and medical management. For instance, in 2023, NHS Digital, a UK-based public body, reported that the number of Finished Admission Episodes (FAEs) in England reached 17.6 million, reflecting a 7.1% increase over the 2022-23 period. Furthermore, in April 2024, Allergy UK, a national charity, highlighted that more than 21 million people in the UK are affected by allergies, making them the most commonly reported chronic health condition in 2022. Projections suggest that by 2026, half of Europe's population will experience at least one allergy. These factors are contributing to the rising demand for medical beds, driving market growth.
Major companies operating in the medical bed market are developing innovative products, such as smart connected beds, to better serve patients and enhance healthcare delivery. Smart connected beds integrate advanced technologies, including AI-powered sensors, to monitor patient health, improve care efficiency, and enhance patient safety.

For example, in August 2022, Dozee, an India-based connected health device maker, partnered with Midmark India, a hospital bed manufacturer, to launch the Dozee Smart Connected Bed. This bed is equipped with Dozee's AI-powered contactless sensor, which monitors vital parameters like heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation, providing an early warning system for timely medical intervention. The smart bed can be integrated with a hospital's central command center and Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS), further improving patient care and enabling real-time monitoring for healthcare professionals.
