Latin America Patient Mechanical Lift Handling Equipment Market: Growth Prospects 2024-2032

Latin America Patient Mechanical Lift Handling Equipment Market: Growth Prospects 2024-2032



Triton’s report denotes that the Latin America patient mechanical lift handling market is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 5.14% during the forecasting period 2024-2032.

Latin America is a popular spot for medical tourism, drawing patients from various countries seeking healthcare. These healthcare facilities often emphasize patient safety and comfort, driving the demand for innovative technologies like patient mechanical lift handling systems. Industry estimates valued the medical tourism sector in the region to be around $7 billion in 2022. Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease often results in reduced mobility and a need for assistance with daily activities. In this regard, patient mechanical lift handling technology enables healthcare workers to safely and efficiently manage patients with limited mobility.

The countries reviewed in this region include Mexico, Brazil, and Rest of Latin America.

Brazil captures the majority of the market share, accounting for $30.74 million in 2023
  • In 2021, Brazil’s public health system (SUS) reported an increase in investments aimed at modernizing healthcare facilities, including the purchase of advanced equipment for patient handling.
  • The country’s aging population and inefficiencies in healthcare resource management create opportunities for US products and services, especially in assisted living, mental health, rehabilitation, and chronic disease management. These areas have a high demand for patient mechanical lift handling equipment essential for assisting the elderly with mobility and care.
  • The market for patient lift equipment in Brazil has significant growth potential if companies highlight cost-effectiveness and the advantages of their advanced technologies to succeed in the price-sensitive healthcare sector.
Market Forecast for Mexico

According to data from the Mexican National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the leading causes of premature death in Mexico from January to June 2022 included heart disease (30.6%) and diabetes (27.6%). These figures underscore the urgent healthcare needs in Mexico, especially in chronic disease management, rehabilitation, and palliative care. The high incidence of heart disease and diabetes creates a substantial need for patient mechanical lift handling equipment to aid those with reduced mobility. Mexico’s increasing demand for advanced medical equipment, along with its expanding healthcare infrastructure, makes it a promising market for manufacturers and suppliers of such equipment.

The market is sub-segmented based on product and end-user. The product segment further includes powered sit-to-stand lifts, floor-based lifts, overhead lifts, standup & raising lifts, bath patient lifters, and other products.

A powered sit-to-stand lift, also known as an electric standing hoist, is a device designed to assist individuals who have difficulty transitioning from sitting to standing. Commonly used in healthcare facilities, nursing homes, and home care settings, these lifts facilitate the transfer of patients or adults with limited mobility. They typically consist of a sturdy frame with a sling or seat attachment that supports the individual during the transfer. An electric motor drives the lifting mechanism, eliminating the need for manual lifting and reducing physical strain on caregivers. The motor is operated by a handheld remote or control panel, ensuring safe and comfortable use.
