The hospital beds market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, we've witnessed a significant expansion in the market size of hospital beds. It's projected to rise from $4.35 billion in 2024 to $4.64 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historic period include a rising aging population globally, a higher prevalence of chronic illnesses, advancements in healthcare facilities, increased surgical procedures and hospital admissions, as well as government-funded investments in healthcare.
The hospital beds market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for hospital beds is poised for a substantial growth spurt in the coming years, projected to reach $6.56 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 9.0%.
This forecasted expansion is attributed to factors such as heightened attention on patient comfort and care, increased global healthcare spending, the rise of home healthcare services, the need for bariatric hospital beds, and the incorporation of smart technologies in hospital beds. Noteworthy trends that are likely to impact the market during the prediction period include the integration of telehealth, emphasis on patient safety, the effect of the aging population worldwide, as well as the development of modular and convertible bed solutions, and sustainable, environment-friendly designs.
The growth of the hospital bed market is anticipated to be stimulated by the escalating hospitalization rate. Hospitalization pertains to the admission of a patient into a healthcare facility or hospital for medical treatment, monitoring, or care. Hospital beds are used by patients for their stay in the hospital while they undergo treatment and recovery, and for rest. For example, as per the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion, a health agency based in Canada, there were 29,524 COVID-19 hospitalizations in 2022, showing a rise from 22,559 in 2021, as recorded in March 2023. Furthermore, the rate of hospitalizations per 100,000 individuals was higher in 2022 compared to 2021. Therefore, the rising rate of hospitalizations is triggering the expansion of the hospital bed market.
