This report extensively covers market segmentation by product (manual beds, semi-automated beds, and automated beds), application (intensive care, acute care, and home care), and geography (Europe, North America, Asia, and Rest of World (ROW)). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges.
The market is driven by rising chronic disease prevalence, necessitating an increase in ICU beds and specialized facilities like psychiatric & bariatric care units. Demand surges for beds in ambulatory care centers and home healthcare services, particularly to accommodate older adults and patients with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, challenges loom in meeting the demand amidst budget constraints and staffing shortages. Regulatory compliance with guidelines from organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) remains paramount amidst the evolving landscape of healthcare delivery. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in infectious diseases is the key factor driving the growth of the market. The rising prevalence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19 is expected to increase the demand for hospital beds across the world. For instance, globally, 10.4 million new TB cases and 1.7 million TB-related deaths are estimated to occur every year. According to the CDC, 7,882 people were diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2021 in the US. Also, the CDC estimates that Salmonella infections lead to about 1.35 million people becoming ill, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the US annually. The growing prevalence of infectious diseases can result in severe illness and hospital admissions, which is likely to drive the demand.
An increase in infectious diseases drives admission rates in healthcare facilities. To meet the high demand from healthcare facilities, manufacturers and suppliers are introducing advanced products and increasing market penetration through efficient distribution networks. The rising incidence of infectious diseases has prompted suppliers and manufacturers to expand their market reach and enter emerging markets. These factors will also drive market growth during the forecast period.
The rising number of medical emergencies is the primary trend in the market growth. The rise in medical emergencies caused by outdoor accidents, industrial accidents, wars, fire breakouts, and natural calamities has been forcing healthcare providers to improve their readiness to address emergency situations. To provide advanced services and advanced equipment such as electric and advanced hospital mattresses, healthcare facilities are upgrading their capabilities in terms of intensive care, critical care, acute care, and surgical treatment facilities, which are highly needed during the treatment of medical emergencies. Hospitals and other healthcare emergency centers are taking increased precautions and are providing the required facilities to address medical emergencies.
Furthermore, they are purchasing various medical supplies, such as automated beds, to ensure patient comfort and safety. Automated beds are used in these facilities, as they can be folded near the head and leg of the patient. Semi-automated beds are used in acute care facilities, while long-term care in hospitals and home care facilities require manual hospital beds. The growth of emergency departments to meet the rising medical emergencies drives the demand. The manufacturers of these products are meeting these demands by expanding their production volume, which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of automated hospitals beds is a major challenge to the growth of the market. The stringent regulatory scenario in various countries increases the investment in meeting product quality and operation standards and minimizing the risk associated with the manufacturing and use of these products. This can increase the overall cost of production for manufacturers. To minimize the cost and generate profit, manufacturers follow a premium pricing strategy, which, however, increases the cost of the product. Weak distribution channels in rural markets, which are operated and controlled by local suppliers, will also increase product costs due to the lower order value and consumption volumes in these markets.
While the high price of these products is affordable for customers in developed markets with higher disposable income, it is an obstacle for consumers in rural and underdeveloped markets as they depend on government regulations on supply and distribution. The subsequent lower product penetration will limit the number of customers and the consumption volume in developing markets and pose a challenge to the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Collaboration between healthcare providers and regulatory bodies like the Texas Health and Human Services Department is essential for ensuring optimal healthcare delivery in the face of evolving noncommunicable diseases challenges.
The market share growth by the manual beds segment will be significant during the forecast period. The demand increased in developing countries such as Nigeria for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in early 2020. According to Europa, about 3,382 and 1,621 cases were observed in Algeria and Cameroon, respectively, in 2020. Due to low economies in these countries, the demand for manual hospital beds increased as automated and semi-automated hospital beds are more expensive than manual hospital mattresses.

The manual beds segment was valued at USD 1.35 billion in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Manual beds were the largest segment of the market and will continue to remain the largest segment during the forecast period. Manual beds are widely used in healthcare facilities, especially in less developed regions where sophisticated healthcare facilities are not available. They are used in both acute care and home care, which continuously increase with the growth of healthcare facilities. With the shortage of advanced medical facilities and the low cost of manual beds, healthcare providers in rural areas depend on manual hospital mattresses. In Asia and ROW, booming multispecialty and super specialty hospitals can accommodate long-term care patients, which drives sales in developing countries of APAC, such as India and China. The favorable market conditions and increased market demand in regional markets are supporting the growth of local manufacturers, which drives market expansion. However, the growth of local market players is intensifying the competition and becoming an obstacle for global market players in terms of cost advantages and profit margin.
