The automated hospital beds market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The automated hospital beds market has experienced steady growth in recent years. It is expected to increase from $30.9 billion in 2024 to $33.52 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%.
The growth is driven by an aging population, a rise in home healthcare services, increasing chronic disease incidence, growth in telemedicine, and a higher number of surgical procedures.
The automated hospital beds market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The automated hospital beds market is projected to grow strongly, reaching $45.75 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 8.1%.
The growth is attributed to the rise in accidents, the increasing focus on patient-centric care, the growing elderly population, and rising healthcare expenditures. Trends include technological innovations, IoT integration, AI and machine learning applications, enhanced remote monitoring, and robotics in patient care.
The rising number of road accidents is expected to stimulate growth in the automated hospital bed market. Accidents are increasing due to factors like traffic congestion and distracted driving. Automated hospital beds improve patient care by offering adjustable features that enhance comfort and safety during treatment. For example, in 2023, the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economic reported that road fatalities in Australia rose by 7.3% to 1,266. Thus, the increase in road accidents is fueling the automated hospital bed market.
