North America Patient Mechanical Lift Handling Equipment Market: Growth Prospects 2024-2032
According to Triton Market Research, the North America patient mechanical lift handling equipment market is expected to advance at a CAGR of 8.04% during the forecasting years 2024-2032.
In North America, the prevalence of chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and obesity is increasing. These conditions often limit patients’ mobility, making mechanical lift handling equipment essential for their safe and comfortable transfer. The substantial investment in healthcare in the region highlights a commitment to enhancing patient care and outcomes. As per the American Medical Association, health expenditures in the United States rose by 4.1%, reaching a total of $4.5 trillion in 2022. This rise in spending elevates the demand for varied machines, including patient lift equipment, to improve safety, prevent injuries, and elevate the overall quality of care
Further, regulations in North America mandate stringent safety measures for both patients and healthcare professionals during manual handling tasks. Mechanical lift handling equipment helps healthcare facilities comply with these regulations by reducing the risk of accidents and musculoskeletal issues among staff.
The countries mentioned in the region include Canada and the United States.
The United States leads the regional market, accounting for $614.94 million in 2023
- Aging population, a rise in chronic diseases, and an increased focus on patient safety have surged demand for patient lift handling equipment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 60% of adults in the US are diagnosed with chronic diseases, with 40% having two or more conditions.
- Additionally, CDC data from March 2022 noted that there were around 130 million emergency department visits and 35 million injury-related visits in 2021. This high volume of injuries and emergency visits is likely to drive surged adoption of mechanical lift equipment.
- With the expansion of long-term care services and increasing patient handling needs in home healthcare, the demand for lifting equipment is expected to grow in homecare settings.
Market Forecast for Canada
Canada’s aging population is driving increased demand for patient mechanical lift handling equipment. As the number of elderly individuals and those with limited mobility grows, the need for lifting devices that ensure the safety and well-being of patients and healthcare professionals during transfers and mobility tasks becomes more pressing. The most common chronic diseases in Canada include cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. According to Statistics Canada, around 45.1% of citizens lived with one major chronic disease in 2021. The rise in chronic conditions increases hospitalizations, thereby stimulating the studied market growth across Canada.
The market segmentation includes product and end-user. The product section is further divided into overhead lifts, powered sit-to-stand lifts, floor-based lifts, standup & raising lifts, bath patient lifters, and other products.
Overhead ceiling lifts provide a safe and secure method for individuals with mobility impairments or disabilities to transfer. These lifts significantly minimize the risk of falls, injuries, and accidents compared to manual or traditional transfer methods. The growing focus on safety and the desire to lessen caregiver strain has heightened the demand for ceiling lifts. These lifts enhance accessibility and promote diversity by enabling individuals with mobility challenges to move around their environment more independently. They facilitate transfers in various spaces, such as restrooms and bedrooms, where transfers are often necessary.
