Automated hospital beds are technologically advanced medical beds equipped with motorized mechanisms to adjust height, backrest angle, and leg elevation. They typically feature remote controls for easy operation, enhancing both patient comfort and caregiver efficiency. These beds often incorporate additional functions such as integrated scales, bed exit alarms, and pressure redistribution systems, aimed at improving patient care and safety. Their design is specifically tailored to support medical treatments and enhance the overall hospital experience.
There are two main types of automated hospital beds semi-automatic and fully automatic. Semi-automatic beds allow healthcare staff to manually adjust settings using controls on the bed's frame or a remote. These beds are utilized across various healthcare settings including critical care, acute care, and long-term care. Their applications span hospitals, clinics, reproductive care centers, dentistry, home care, and other medical facilities.
Tariffs are increasing sourcing and manufacturing costs for automated hospital beds by raising prices on steel structures, electromechanical actuators, control panels, and electronic components used in fully electric and smart bed platforms. The impact is most visible across fully automatic ICU beds, advanced pressure relief beds, and smart automated hospital beds, with Asia-Pacific and Europe-based manufacturing and assembly hubs experiencing higher cost pass-throughs. Critical care, acute care, and hospital end-user segments are particularly affected due to high equipment intensity and capital procurement cycles. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging regionalized production, localized component sourcing, and domestic assembly initiatives that may support resilient supply chains and incremental investment in local manufacturing ecosystems.

The automated hospital beds market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $33.24 billion in 2025 to $35.84 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to hospital modernization programs, growth in critical care admissions, procurement of automated beds to improve caregiver productivity, early emphasis on patient safety and fall reduction, expansion of public and private hospital capacity,.
The automated hospital beds market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $46.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising geriatric population, increasing long-term care admissions, higher adoption of advanced automated and specialty beds, growing focus on patient comfort and pressure injury prevention, rising demand from home care and post-acute settings. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of patient safety and fall-prevention features, expansion of automated beds in critical and acute care settings, rising demand driven by aging population and chronic illness burden, growing utilization in long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, shift toward premium comfort, ergonomic design and advanced adjustability.
The rising number of road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the automated hospital bed market in the coming years. The increase in road accidents can be attributed to factors such as higher traffic congestion, distracted driving due to mobile devices, poor infrastructure maintenance, and non-compliance with traffic regulations. Automated hospital beds improve patient care and safety in accident cases by offering features like adjustable height for easier patient transfer and treatment, automated positioning to prevent bedsores, and remote controls for quick adjustments, ensuring timely medical attention and comfort. For example, in January 2024, the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economic (BITRE), an Australian government department, reported that in 2023, there were 1,266 fatalities on Australian roads, a 7.3% increase compared to the 12 months ending in December 2022. As a result, the rising number of road accidents is driving the growth of the automated hospital bed market.
Key players in the automated hospital beds sector are focusing on developing advanced ICU beds to cater to increasing demand and enhance patient care. These next-generation beds are designed to optimize patient outcomes and streamline intensive care processes. In May 2023, Baxter International Inc. introduced the Hillrom Progressa+ bed, featuring advanced pulmonary support and in-bed therapies such as percussion, vibration, and continuous lateral rotation to mitigate immobility-related complications. The bed also facilitates early patient mobilization with integrated lift systems and a FullChair option for safe movement, reducing risks for healthcare providers.
In January 2023, LeanTaaS, a U.S.-based healthcare technology company, acquired Hospital IQ for an undisclosed amount.
