The demand for patient care services is indeed rising due to the increase in the occurrence of various health conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, medical emergencies, and disabilities. To meet this demand, hospitals are focusing on increasing the number of hospital beds.
The increase in hospital beds is necessary to accommodate patients in emergency departments, as well as in-patient and out-patient demands. This allows hospitals to provide timely care and reduce wait times for patients.
Moreover, the growing popularity of electric hospital beds is also contributing to the market growth. Electric hospital beds offer various features such as adjustable height, backrest, and leg rest positions, enhancing patient comfort and ease of care. These beds also have built-in safety features and advanced controls, making them suitable for patients with mobility issues or those requiring specialized care.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio,“CDC, in 2017 says, every year, around 735,000 people in the US have heart attacks and for the comfort of the patients who are in a condition of heart failure, the head of the bed has to be elevated for more than 30 degrees for which there is need of electric hospital beds.”
The combination of increased hospital bed capacity and the adoption of electric hospital beds helps hospitals meet the rising demand for patient care services, thereby driving market growth.
