(PharmaNewsWire.Com, January 16, 2021 ) The past few decades have witnessed a transformation in the global healthcare environment. Many countries across the globe have experienced unprecedented economic growth. While the global economic crisis in 2008 affected many of these countries, they appear to have recovered and continue to grow, albeit at much slower rates. As a result, these economies have witnessed a dramatic change in their economic, cultural, industrial, and healthcare environments.
Factors such as increasing investments in healthcare infrastructural development, technological innovations in ICU beds, increasing number of beds in private hospitals, and increasing volume of chronic care patients are expected to drive the growth of the medical beds market in the coming years. On the other hand, the declining number of beds in public hospitals may limit market growth to a certain extent. The growing trend of home care is expected to provide a wide range of opportunities to players in the market.
Medical bed market is expected to reach $3.41 billion by 2022 from $2.59 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Base year considered for the report is 2016 and the forecast period considered for this report is 2017–2022.
Healthcare infrastructural development is a key issue in most developed and developing countries. Increased investments in healthcare infrastructure also have a positive impact on the medical beds market. Increased investments lead to increased costs allocated for medical beds, which is an important factor driving market growth.
