The improved medical infrastructure is a stretcher chairs market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. Healthcare facilities, comprising diagnostics and clinical and hospital-based services, are witnessing a paradigm shift from a supply-based system to a demand-based system. The change is driven by the growing demand from individuals willing to increase their spending on medical facilities such as disease diagnosis, hospital-based treatment, and patient care services during the post-treatment phase. With the rising demand from patients and continuous technological advances in medical equipment, healthcare providers are equipping their facilities with sophisticated laboratories, patient wards, and advanced medical furniture such as stretcher chairs.
