Global Hospital Stretchers Market Outlook
The global hospital stretchers market size was valued at USD 2.9 billion in 2023, driven by the rise in chronic diseases and the growing demand for technologically advanced stretchers. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.37% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to rise from USD 3 billion in 2024 to USD 4.6 billion by 2032.
Global Hospital Stretchers Market Overview
Hospital stretchers are utilized in various healthcare settings to transport patients requiring medical care. The growing geriatric and bariatric population base has fuelled the demand for hospital stretchers. Bariatric stretchers are increasingly used to conveniently transfer obese patients. Recent studies suggest that 1.9 billion adults (18 years or older) are overweight, out of which 650 million were reported to be obese. With the rising number of obese patients, the hospital stretchers market growth is expected to experience a surge.
Several key players in the market are actively engaged in the development of innovative hospital stretchers to address the specific needs of the patients. In July 2023 , a United States company specializing in providing mounting solutions for medical devices, Technimount System, designed a Neonatal Stretcher System to offer efficient mobility solutions for critically ill neonates. The neonatal stretcher system can secure essential medical devices such as monitor/defibrillators and infusion pumps in a wide range of configurations. The product promises enhanced patient care and safety during interhospital transfers of high-risk neonates. The launch of such products is anticipated to positively impact the hospital stretchers market demand.
The market is projected to experience steady growth driven by factors such as the growing adoption of technologically advanced patient mobility solutions and the increasing investment in the healthcare sector.
