According to the European Commission, more than 30% of the elderly population use home care services for personal needs, especially when they have severe difficulty with personal assistance. 46.6% of European people need the adoption of various healthcare systems.

The rising need for the development of elderly care healthcare systems in Europe is esteemed to leverage the growth rate of the market.

In 2022, Harvard International Review stated that the need for caregivers or nurses has been dominantly growing for the past few years. A University of Bremen in Germany study revealed that more than 120,000 people in this country efficiently need the help of caregivers.

Market Drivers

Nurse call systems are important for successful communication in healthcare facilities.

These technologies allow for streamlined, tailored communication between patients, clinicians, and caregivers, resulting in improved patient satisfaction and care quality. The increased deployment of real-time location systems (RTLS) combined with wireless technologies in various healthcare institutions drives the European nurse call systems market.

The increasing aging population with an increasing need for digital healthcare, an increase in hospitals implementing nurse call systems, increased public and private sector expenditures in digital healthcare systems, and technical improvement in nurse call systems are majorly driving the European nurse call systems market forward.

According to the UN population division, Germany is one of the only five ‘super-aged’ countries that is estimated to have one-third of the total population of people aged above 65 years living in this country by the end of 2050.

Government support through investments and the promotion of a huge workforce in the healthcare industry will propel the growth rate of the market. The increasing importance of focusing on elderly care with the dominant systems is extremely important to promote the need for nurse call systems in European countries.

One of the primary factors driving the market growth and acceptance of nurse call systems in these nations' healthcare infrastructures is the increased focus on enhancing hospital care and healthcare infrastructure quality.

Nurse call systems can also be used to track a patient, particularly in assisted living or long-term treatment centers, or to provide an indicator of an approaching occurrence in the case of ambulatory services. These solutions allow nurses and physicians to respond more quickly, resulting in a more efficient workflow. Wireless nurse call systems in hospitals are critical tools that enable and assure that nurses provide proper care. These systems are required, and the advantages are substantial. Wireless nurse call and notification systems must be high-speed, accurate, and reliable. All these are the driving factors for the European nurse call systems market.

The prominence to improve the healthcare infrastructure with huge investments shall pose huge growth opportunities for the Europe nurse call systems market during the forecast period. The growing prominence of leveraging knowledge over the use of digital technologies among elderly people through social media platforms and other means shall escalate the growth rate of the market. The efforts to improve support for older adults with prominent healthcare facilities are likely to fuel the growth rate of the market in Europe.

Market  Restraints

During the forecast period, government regulations and the high installation cost may hinder the European nurse call systems market growth. The hardware, software, and staff training levels of a healthcare facility all influence the success of a nurse call system. As a result, end-users should invest extensively in some areas to deploy and operate nurse call information systems, which is one of the restraints for the market growth.

Lack of complete knowledge and reluctance to adopt new changes in the healthcare industry due to the lack of required communication systems to integrate nurse call systems is a big challenging factor for the market key players. Integrating the new systems with the traditional ones is slightly difficult, and the lack of complete knowledge to use the advanced technologies in the hospitals in remote areas is likely to decline the growth opportunities for the Europe nurse call systems market.
