CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE HOSPITAL BEDS MARKET

Hospital beds are beds that are specially designed for use in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Curative (or acute) nursing beds, rehabilitative care beds, long-term care beds, and other hospital beds are examples of hospital beds. Hospital beds are the most key element of a hospital for treating patients. Since not all patients are mobile, hospital beds are used to treat them. These beds are specially built to provide both patients and caregivers with comfort and protection. Some beds are equipped with bars on both sides to prevent patients from collapsing. Hospital beds also aid in the patient transition from one location to another with little disruption to the patients. These beds are also used in home healthcare.

MARKET DRIVERS

The increased rate of hospitalization is the major driver for the global hospital beds market.

Increased hospitalizations rate and health coverage support have also contributed to the rise of the hospital bed industry. People's lives change as their lifestyles, and environmental circumstances change. People are becoming more concerned with their health due to the outbreak of diseases such as smallpox and swine flu. If someone becomes ill with even a minor fever, they seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent any complications. As a result, the number of hospitalizations has increased from the previous decade. Besides, a variety of private and public sector organizations provide healthcare coverage to those who are hospitalized. In this insurance, the hospitalization bill is compensated. Some firms also make reimbursement for employers and their families mandatory. As a result, the number of hospitalizations rises, accelerating the growth of the global hospital beds growth.

Increasing healthcare spending leads to improvement, which leads to a rise in demand. According to the National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA), healthcare expenditures in the United States would rise by up to 4.6 % to $3.8 trillion in 2019. They spentabout $1.3 trillion for hospital care alone. As a result, there were around 1 million hospital beds available in the United States. While in 2019, Sweden spent around 11% of GDP and followed by Germany spend nearly 11.7% of GDP on healthcare. Hence, ttotal number of hospital beds per 100,000 inhabitants was 491, varying from 244 in Sweden to 813 in Germany.The growing number of chronic cases and surgeries has also contributed to expanding the hospital beds market.

Chronic conditions necessitate long-term treatment, and certain patients, such as cancer patients, must stay in the hospital for an extended time. As a result of the beds used by these patients, the hospital demands additional beds for other patients. In the case of surgery, some patients are mobile, while others need full bed rest for a specific period. In some of these cases, the patient's family chooses home nursing facilities for long-term treatment and in surgery to ensure good hygiene and care. As a result, the need for hospital beds grows in recent years. Because the number of chronic illnesses and surgeries has increased in recent years and continues to rise, so requires hospital beds.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High investment for hospital beds decreases the demand for the global hospital beds market.

The high initial cost of hospital beds is limiting the market growth. In the low- and middle-income countries, patients avoid choosing hospital beds as this hospital bed is coming with huge investment. For ICU beds also the patient has to charge a huge amount per day. According to the Times of India, each patient is paid an average ICU bed fee ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 14,000 per day, or even more in certain cases. As a result, the demand for hospital beds declined.
