Market Overview:
The patient mechanical lift handling equipment market involves various medical devices used to lift and transfer patients from one surface to another in healthcare settings. This includes slings, sling bars, sling rings, and other accessories used along with patient lifts. Patient lifts help to transfer patients between beds, wheelchairs, showers or tubs, and more, thereby reducing injuries among caregivers.
Market Dynamics:
Growing geriatric population: The global geriatric population is growing rapidly owing to increasing life expectancy. As per the United Nations, the global population aged 60 years and older is expected to double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050. Lifting and transferring elderly patients manually can lead to injuries among caregivers. Patient mechanical lifts help to handle elderly patients safely, thereby driving the market growth.
Increasing incidence of disabilities: According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. Many patients living with disabilities require assistance for transferring from one surface to another. Patient mechanical lifts reduce the chances of injuries to both caregivers and patients during transfer, thus fueling the market growth.
