has announced the addition of the "European Patient Handling
Equipment Market by Product, by Type of Care, by Accessories, by
End User - Forecast to 2019" report to their offering.
The European patient handling equipment market is expected to
grow at a double-digit CAGR of 11.4% to reach $5,150.2 million by
2019
Factors such as rising geriatric population, increasing
incidences of lifestyle diseases, and high recovery cost from
injuries resulting from manual handling of equipment are driving
the growth of this market. However, lack of skilled training and
knowledge to handle patients and persistent difficulty in handling
obese patients are hindering the growth of this market.
On the basis of products, the market is segmented into
wheelchairs and scooters, medical beds, bathroom safety supplies,
mechanical equipment, nonmechanical equipment, ambulatory aids, and
others (stretchers, transfers, hospital furniture, and evacuation
equipment). The wheelchairs and scooters segment is bifurcated into
wheelchairs and scooters. The wheelchair segment is further
bifurcated into manual wheelchairs and powered wheelchairs. The
medical beds segment is divided into curative care beds,
psychiatric care beds, long-term care beds, and others.
On the basis of type of care, the European patient handling
equipment market is segmented into bariatric care, fall prevention,
critical care, wound care, and others (acute care and long-term
care). Critical care is the fastest-growing segment of this market
due to the rising aging population and disabilities from
non-communicable diseases.
On the basis of accessories, the market is segmented into
lifting accessories, transfer accessories, evacuation accessories,
stretcher accessories, hospital-bed accessories, and others
(bathroom safety supplies such as safety frames, grab bars,
bariatric aids, and shower chairs; and ambulatory aids such as
wheeled walkers, lift chairs, folding walkers, and canes).
On the basis of end users, the European patient handling
equipment market is categorized into home care facilities,
hospital, elderly care facilities, and others (emergency medical
services, long-term acute care facilities, trauma centers, and
nursing homes). Hospitals are the major end users of the
market.
Geographically, the market is dominated by THE U.K., followed by
Germany. France is expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR during
the forecast period.
