Beds (Powered and Manual) - A Global Market Perspective

Beds (Powered and Manual) - A Global Market Perspective

Globally, there is shortage of patient beds due to growing demand from the worldwide aging population, which is outpacing supply of beds in medical facilities. An aging world population is also creating substantial demand for in-home medical services. Majority of healthcare facilities, of late, are reducing bed capacity to minimize cost, and to promote advanced, short-stay surgical methods. The development of home administered chemotherapy drugs, enhancement in emergency care management, and advanced short day-stay surgical methods reduce the pressure of maintaining more beds in hospitals and healthcare centers.

Most of the beds are rented by the dealers rather than purchased. Beds with higher aesthetic value, as well as beds integrated with high-tech features enjoy a greater demand in the market. Reacting to increasing pressure from customers, bed manufacturers have been trying hard to bring down the operating costs with the motive of bringing down the total costs. As a result, competition has intensified in the market, paving way for price-cuts and market share shifts.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Beds (Powered and Manual): A Global Market Perspective" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
