Asia_pacific Patient Mechanical Lift Handling Equipment Market: Growth Prospects 2024-2032
As per Triton Market Research’s report, the Asia-Pacific patient mechanical lift handling equipment market is anticipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 8.60% over the period 2024-2032.
The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing rapid population aging, leading to an increase in mobility restrictions, disabilities, and chronic diseases. According to UNFPA, the number of elderly people in the region will triple by 2050, reaching 1.3 billion. This demographic shift creates a growing need for effective patient transfer and mobility solutions, driving mechanical lift handling equipment demand. In response, governments in the region are enhancing healthcare infrastructure and aged care services through investments in healthcare facilities, promoting assistive equipment, and implementing safety regulations. For instance, China’s National Health Commission plans to enhance its medical and healthcare sector, aiming to elevate its residents’ main health indicators to match those of high-income countries by 2035. Such government initiatives support the growth of the patient mechanical lift handling equipment market.
The countries evaluated in this region comprise China, India, Australia & New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, ASEAN Countries, and Rest of APAC.
China leads the regional market, acquiring around $131.35 million in 2023
The increasing elderly population in China is driving the demand for patient mechanical lift handling equipment. With the rise in the number of older adults, there is a growing need for safe and efficient methods to lift and transfer people, especially in healthcare facilities and homes. In 2023, around 14% of the population was aged 65 and above, according to the World Bank.The prevalence of chronic diseases in China further boosts the demand for patient lift equipment. Healthcare providers seek effective ways to care for individuals with chronic conditions. According to ‘Prevention and Control of Obesity in China’, the country has the highest number of obese individuals globally, with approximately 46% of adults being overweight or obese. This rise in obesity subsequently increases the need for mechanical lift handling equipment in China. As the incidence of chronic diseases increases, so does the demand for specialized treatment and equipment in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. In this regard, patient mechanical lift handling equipment plays a vital role in providing safe and efficient care, Market Forecast for South Korea
South Korea has significantly expanded and modernized its healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals and long-term care facilities. As these facilities update their equipment and enhance patient care services, there is a growing focus on acquiring mechanical lift equipment to improve patient mobility and safety. Additionally, as the population ages, chronic illnesses like arthritis, osteoporosis, and mobility limitations are becoming increasingly prevalent. These conditions often require assistance in safely moving patients, which can be effectively provided by mechanical lift handling equipment.
The market is branched into product and end-user. The product segment further includes powered sit-to-stand lifts, overhead lifts, floor-based lifts, standup & raising lifts, bath patient lifters, and other products.
Floor-based lifts, also known as mobile or portable patient lifts, are essential tools in nursing homes and healthcare facilities. Designed to assist in the movement and transfer of patients with limited mobility, these lifts ensure safe and efficient transitions within the facility. Constructed from durable materials like steel or aluminum, the robust frame provides the necessary support and stability. The lifting mechanism, powered by hydraulics or electricity, allows caregivers to securely elevate and lower patients.
