market is estimated to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%
during the forecast period of 2022-2030.
Growth Drivers:
According to
the World Health Organization, approximately 16.0% of the global population
lived with some or the other disability in 2019. Disabled people have great
difficulty in performing their everyday tasks smoothly. They require special
equipment to assist them in their daily jobs. The total number of disabled people
across the globe is rising at a rapid rate, mainly due to the high
pervasiveness of chronic diseases worldwide. This is largely aiding in the
growth of the global patient handling equipment market.
Moreover,
the leading players present in the global patient handling equipment market are
focusing on enhancing their R&D activities to launch technologically
advanced products into the market. Alongside, they are also seen to be
increasingly adopting various growth activities such as mergers and acquisitions,
collaborations and partnerships, and new product launches to increase their
overall market share and geographical footprints. All these factors are
expected to create ample growth opportunities for the global patient handling
equipment market during the forecast period.
The ever-increasing
geriatric & obese population across the globe, the growing risk of injuries
to caregivers, the rising number of regulations aimed at ensuring the safety of
healthcare personnel during the manual lifting process, the burgeoning incidents
of road accidents, and the increasing opening of new healthcare facility
centers worldwide are among other factors predominantly driving the growth of
the global patient handling equipment market.
However,
the dearth of skilled professionals to handle patient handling equipment and
the difficulties pertaining to the manual handling of bariatric patients are
expected to hamper the growth of the global patient handling equipment market
to some extent during the forecast period.
