Terminally Ill Patients Requiring Hospital Beds in Homecare Settings

Hospital beds are being adopted in large numbers in homecare settings due to the lower cost, greater convenience, and more effective properties of home healthcare in comparison to hospital settings. Home healthcare services include medical and social services, scheduled doctor visits, nursing care, home blood collection, physical therapies, rehabilitative services, occupational speech-language therapy, and geriatric counseling. Increasing demand for home healthcare services in developed nations have encouraged manufacturers to produce medical beds for home care.

Moreover, the surging cases of life-threatening diseases like cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hepatitis, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) will drive the hospital bed market at 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2020–2030). The market stood at $3,712.1 million in 2019 and it is projected to reach $8,276.7 million by 2030. These chronic disorders are not only entirely prevented by vaccines or treated by medications, but also require rest for prolonged duration. This will, therefore, fuel the demand for hospital beds in the foreseeable future.

The type segment of the hospital bed market is categorized into general, birthing, pressure relief, bariatric, and pediatric. The general category account for the largest market share in 2019 and it is expected to register the fastest growth in the forecast years. General beds are available at a lower price than other specialty hospital beds like pediatric and bariatric beds. Owing to their cost-effectiveness, the general beds are majorly used by general staff and care takers in nursing homes, clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. 

According to P&S Intelligence, the European region adopted the highest number of hospital beds in 2019, on account of the surging incidence of chronic disorders, escalating per capita healthcare expenditure, burgeoning elderly population, and rising technological innovations. For instance, according to the 2017 European Cardiovascular Disease Statistics report by the European Heart Network (EHN), CVDs led to 3.9 million deaths in Europe in 2017. The rising prevalence of CVDs have increased the frequency of surgeries and hospitalization, thereby, fueling the requirement for hospital beds in the region.

On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) hospital bed market is projected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic ailments, booming aging population, expanding medical tourism industry, and improving healthcare infrastructure in the region. For instance, according to the International Disease Federation (IDF), around 12.6% people of Southeast Asia will live with diabetes by 2045. This, in turn, will amplify the hospitalization rate in APAC, which would fuel the demand for hospital beds.
