Market Overview:

Hospital beds are specialized beds that are maintained regularly and are available for the care of admitted patients. Hospital beds include acute care beds, rehabilitative care beds, long-term care beds, adjustable hospital beds, specialty care beds, and others. Hospital beds are also called in-patient hospital care beds, which are further subdivided into nursing care beds, psychiatric care beds, and others.

According to Ken Research estimates, the Global Hospital Bed Market – which grew from approximately US$ 3 Billion in 2017 to approximately US$ 4 billion in 2022 – is forecasted to grow further into approximately US$ 6 Billion opportunities by 2028, owing to the increasing severe diseases, infections, and cancers.

• The hospital bed market is driven by surging chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, and other infectious viruses. According to World Health Organization, nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 were caused by cancer worldwide, the most common cases of cancer were lung, prostate, skin, stomach, colon, and rectum. Globally, more than two third of all death are occurred due to one or more of these five chronic diseases including heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. The increasing number of cases and deaths due to chronic diseases worldwide is likely to fuel the growth of the hospital bed market.
• Higher costs of advanced hospital beds are likely to hamper the growth of the market. GoodRx Health, an online health resource company stated that a new hospital bed can cost in the range of US$ 500 to more than US$ 5000, depending on the features. Manual hospital beds are less costly and have a hand crank to change their heights and angle. Full electric models are available for much higher prices.
• COVID-19 has helped in the growth of the hospital bed market. Individuals diagnosed with COVID-19, required emergency care and receive medication at a hospital, thus creating the need for hospital beds.  More than half of the world’s intensive care units (ICUs) have been occupied by individuals diagnosed with COVID-19, which further prompted hospitals to add more hospital beds into their facilities to cater to the patients.
