Medical furniture refers to a range of furnishings specifically designed to cater to the requirements of healthcare settings. These products prioritize safety, efficiency, and comfort, ensuring they support the operational needs of medical facilities while maintaining professional healthcare standards. Their primary role is to facilitate clinical workflows and enhance the overall functionality of medical environments.
The primary categories of medical furniture include beds, chairs, tables, trolleys and stretchers, cabinets and lockers, and others. Medical beds are specially designed to support patients during rest, treatment, or recovery, and are constructed using materials such as metal, wood, and plastic. These products serve both public and private healthcare sectors and are distributed through online and offline channels. End users include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Tariffs are impacting the medical furniture market by increasing costs of imported materials such as metals, plastics, and advanced electronic components for smart beds and chairs. Segments like electric beds, ICU beds, and automated examination tables are particularly impacted, with Asia-Pacific regions including China and India facing higher import duties. While tariffs have led to increased production costs and supply chain adjustments, they have also encouraged local manufacturing, innovation in material alternatives, and investment in domestic production facilities.

The medical furniture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.33 billion in 2025 to $23.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced medical furniture, reliance on traditional wood and metal designs, growing hospital infrastructure, increasing patient volume, rising healthcare spending in emerging markets.
The medical furniture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of smart and connected furniture, rising adoption of modular and ergonomic designs, increasing demand for infection control-compliant surfaces, expansion of private healthcare facilities, growing use of furniture in ambulatory surgical centers. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for ergonomic and adjustable medical furniture, increasing adoption of space-saving and modular designs, rising focus on infection control and easy-to-clean surfaces, expansion of smart furniture integrated with medical devices, rising preference for durable and multi-functional products.
The increasing hospitalization rate is expected to drive the growth of the medical furniture market in the coming years. Hospitalization refers to the admission of a patient into a hospital to receive medical care, often requiring one or more days of stay. Rising hospitalization rates are largely driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, as more individuals need continuous and specialized care for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Medical furniture plays a crucial role in supporting hospitalizations by enhancing patient comfort and safety; items such as adjustable beds and ergonomic chairs help patients rest and recover more effectively during their stay. For example, in May 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australia-based government agency, reported that hospital admissions across Australia increased by 4.6% in 2022-23, with public hospitals seeing a 4.3% rise and private hospitals a 5.0% increase compared to 2022. Consequently, the rising hospitalization rate is fueling the growth of the medical furniture market.
Key players in the medical furniture market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as multi-acuity beds, to optimize hospital resources and provide care across different patient needs within a single bed setup. Multi-acuity beds are adaptable hospital beds that support patients across varying levels of care, allowing smooth transitions without requiring relocation to a different bed. For instance, in February 2025, Agiliti, a US-based provider of medical and surgical equipment, launched Essentia, a versatile multi-acuity bed frame designed to accommodate diverse patients in multiple hospital settings. It features safety innovations like the SlideRail, offering up to 39 inches of open space for patient entry and exit, with adjustable grips to support mobility and reduce caregiver effort. Illuminated SafeGlance indicators provide instant visual cues for brake engagement, bed height, and alarm settings. The bed's 11.5-inch low deck height and RevTrend 20 tilt function support early mobility and weight-bearing exercises, helping reduce fall risks. Additional features include MotionStop 360 to prevent contact-related accidents, an automatic locking brake system, extendable bed length at the push of a button, and compatibility with a wide range of therapeutic surfaces.
In July 2024, Ocura, a UK-based healthcare furniture and equipment provider, acquired Carechair for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition highlights the value of partnering with an experienced and aligned buyer to manage the complexities of business transitions effectively. Such partnerships help maintain continuity, safeguarding the company's core principles and heritage throughout the process. Carechair is a UK-based manufacturer of medical furniture.
