Hospital Beds Market - By Usage:
Based on the usage, the acute care beds segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019 and is expected to grow at a healthy rate due to more incidents of accidents due to increasing traffic and population. It is primarily attributed to the greater adoption of medical/hospital beds to curative acute and chronic illnesses.
The Long-term beds segment held the second largest market share among all other segments in 2019 and is expected to grow faster. Long prevailing chronic illness is a significant factor in driving the growth of this market.
Hospital Beds Market - By Power:
Based on the end-user, the semi-electric bed had the largest market share among others in 2019 and is expected to grow at a reasonable rate during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to technological advancement, more awareness about quality healthcare facilities.
The electric bed accounted for the second-largest market share in 2019 and is expected to grow at the fastest rate among all the other segments. The large share of these beds is primarily attributed to technological advancements, easy patient handling, and advanced powered beds. Governments and private companies invest more in providing quality healthcare to patients who will drive the market's growth.
The manual bed was the third-leading segment in 2019, and the growth is expected to decline during the forecast period. The main reason for the decreasing growth rate can be the increasing adoption of powered beds by health institutions. Lack of advanced features like powered beds is also a reason why manual beds are not preferred now.
Hospital Beds Market - By End-User:
Based on the end-user, the Hospital segment is expected to rule the global hospital beds market during the forecast period. As more hospitals get established, more beds will be needed to handle more patients. The hospitals now built are mostly multi-specialty hospitals and thus will be able to cater to more patients and drive the growth of the hospital bed market.
The Clinics segment is estimated to be the second-largest segment and is expected to grow at a prominent rate. As the population increases, there will be more illness among people; thus, there will be rising demand from clinics to treat this patient and thus boosting the hospital bed market. Although clinics' requirements for hospital beds are significantly less compared to hospitals, they can still match hospitals with a rising number of clinics.
The Ambulatory services segment is forecasted to grow at a reasonable rate from 2020 to 2025. The development of quality healthcare services is a significant factor responsible for the growth of this sub-segment.
Hospital Beds Market - By Region:
Regionally, Europe dominates the global hospital beds market owing to the high healthcare spending, favorable reimbursement policies, well-developed healthcare sector, and increasing government support. Countries like Germany and France have the most extensive healthcare budgets among all other countries, with approximately USD 321 billion and USD 237 billion dedicated to the healthcare budget. The Americas has the second-largest market, and the Asia Pacific follows. A well-developed healthcare system, huge geriatric population, and growing investment in healthcare research & development have paved the way for the American hospital beds market to expand. The Asia Pacific is the fastest growing world market for hospital beds.
The presence of a vast population base with a growing geriatric population, increasingly rising hospital number, and growing government funding for research & development has driven market growth. Also, the continuous development of the hospital system would fuel demand over the forecast period.
