Europe Patient Mechanical Lift Handling Equipment Market: Growth Prospects 2024-2032
As per Triton’s research report, the Europe patient mechanical lift handling equipment market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 8.01% during the forecast years 2024-2032.
The prevalence of disabilities such as musculoskeletal problems and mobility impairments is increasing across Europe. Mechanical lift handling equipment aids healthcare workers and caregivers in safely lifting and transferring disabled individuals, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Patient safety is becoming a higher priority for healthcare facilities and organizations, making mechanical lift handling crucial. This equipment helps prevent patient falls, reduces pressure ulcers, and minimizes injuries during transfers, aligning with patient safety initiatives. Additionally, the European Union has been actively funding health initiatives under the EU4Health Programme, which supports the improvement of health systems across member states. This includes investments in equipment like patient lift equipment to ensure safe and effective patient handling, thereby reducing the physical strain on healthcare workers and improving patient outcomes.
The countries mentioned in this region are the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Rest of Europe.
Germany dominates the regional market, acquiring around $145.48 million in 2023
- As mentioned in AARP International, by 2050, the number of Germans aged 65 and older is expected to increase by 41%, reaching 24 million and comprising almost one-third of the country’s total population. This rise in the aging population is set to surge the demand for patient lift handling equipment.
- Common ergonomic diseases in Germany include musculoskeletal disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and lower back pain. Each year, approximately 300,000 carpal tunnel release surgeries are performed in Germany, affecting about 2-5% of the population. This substantially creates demand for safe patient handling equipment.
- Additionally, there is a growing demand for patient lift handling equipment in homecare settings, driven by patients’ preference for staying at home, cost-effectiveness, and advancements in portable and user-friendly technology. Manufacturers are responding to this trend by designing products specifically for homecare environments.
Market Forecast for France
In recent years, the market for patient mechanical lift handling equipment in France has seen steady growth. This is due to several factors, including an aging population, increased awareness of patient safety, and advancements in healthcare technology. Patient lift handling equipment comprises devices that assist healthcare personnel in lifting, transferring, and repositioning patients, reducing the risk of injury for both patients and caregivers.
The market is segmented in terms of end-user and product. The end-user section includes homecare, elder care home, hospital, and other end-users.
Home healthcare involves providing medical and non-medical services to individuals in their own homes, ensuring they receive care and support in a familiar and comfortable environment. Chronic diseases, especially prevalent among the elderly, often lead to disabilities like reduced mobility, significantly impacting their quality of life. This situation presents various businesses with opportunities to market home-based patient lift handling devices.
