Stretchers are used to transport patients in an ambulance for non-emergency or emergency transport. Electric, manual, or pneumatic stretchers are available on the market. A paramedic is required to operate and manage a manual stretcher, including mechanical, auto-loading, and non-powered stretchers. Pneumatic stretchers are sometimes referred to as hydraulic stretchers. It has a hydraulic mechanism that controls the movement of the stretchers. Therefore, it is in high demand and has a high market value. The rising number of hospitals investing in new technologies to enhance healthcare is also expected to drive market expansion.

According to Newsweek and Statista's World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023, France is home to more than 6% of the world's most modern hospitals. Technological improvements play a crucial role in the good and effective treatments of patients. New technologies are important for the overall efficiency of medical devices. Monitoring the health status of unconscious patients, especially if the person has suffered an accident, is an important aspect of patient care. Multiple sensors are implemented in a stretcher to monitor human health status, and the information is updated on the hospital server via IoT to make doctors aware of patients’ conditions. Smart stretchers are extremely helpful in improving patient safety during the transition period and strengthening collaborations between hospital staff members. Stretchers integrated with sensors and networks have the potential to improve a new system that aims to ensure high levels of patient safety. In addition, stretchers can help detect the emergency status of affected persons and check their condition without increasing the workload of the workforce. The stretcher also sends the biometrically important points to the police station to help them through legal actions in the event of an accident.

Stryker offers Prime Connect smart stretchers. With both visual and audible bedtime alerts, Prime Connect can communicate with the nurse or the nurse station to enable fall protocol compliance from anywhere in the facility. Prime Connect can be connected to the existing nurse call system, enabling beds to transmit alerts. The wireless system of the Prime Connect stretcher can be integrated into web applications such as the Vision Dashboard and Smart Equipment Management. It can also be integrated into a wide range of Vocera–Stryker products to optimize communication and workflows and ensure safe patient care.

Thus, technological advancements in stretchers are likely to bring new trends to the French stretcher market in the future.

In 2018, 35% of the French population was diagnosed with a chronic disease. Considering the rapid aging of the population, the French government has been making historic improvements in its healthcare sector. As of January 2020, more than 25% of the French population is aged 60 or older. The senior population affected with chronic diseases results in high rates of unplanned hospital admissions and readmissions and recurrent emergency room visits, as well as high utilization of hospital resources. Moreover, the risk of hospitalization was higher among COVID-19 patients with old age; the incidence of admissions was more than five times higher, while the risk of related in-hospital mortality was more than 100 times higher in people aged ≥85 compared to people aged 40–44. Thus, the rising geriatric population bolsters the France stretchers market growth.
