Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Driver - Growing prevalence of disabilities
The prevalence of diseases and conditions including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, chronic wounds, stroke, paralysis, diabetes, and obesity is rising. In addition, these conditions often lead to disabilities, such as mobility impairments. Furthermore, the prevalence of mobility disability is increasing globally.
For example, in 2019, more than two billion people, or more than 37.5% of the world's population, were disabled. Out of which, 13.7% of people with a disability had mobility impairments, with serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Therefore, the high prevalence of mobility disability will positively impact the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Trends - Growing business strategies
Several companies are adopting various business strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, distribution partnerships, and enhanced customer care, to increase their sales, expand their business, and strengthen their market position. In addition, the increasing demand for safe patient lifting and handling is encouraging leading vendors to expand their geographic reach, which, in turn, will boost market growth.
For example, in December 2020, Arjo AB announced the acquisition of AirPal, which is a privately owned, US-based company specializing in air-assisted lateral patient transfer solutions. In addition, this acquisition will strengthen Arjo ABs patient-handling portfolio and is expected to have a positive impact on the earnings per share from 2022 onward. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to be a major trend that shapes the market growth during the forecast period.
Challenge - Lack of trained professionals
Several end-users are reluctant to adopt safe patient lift pendants in their healthcare facilities. In addition, one of the primary reasons is the lack of training and awareness among healthcare professionals. Furthermore, training is essential for the safe operation of any patient lift pendant, especially in terms of proper use of devices, and to create awareness about the clinical benefits of safe patient lifting and transfer.
Moreover, both developed and emerging economies are experiencing a severe shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. This is mainly fuelled by an increase in the number of experienced healthcare professionals who are nearing retirement. Furthermore, the increasing international migration of health workers may exacerbate the shortage of healthcare workforce, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
