Furthermore, the infectious disease diagnostic market is expected to rise due to an increase in the adoption of various medical lifting slings by the geriatric and bariatric population. According to the United Nations, the world's geriatric population is expected to double to 1.5 billion people by 2050. As a result, market growth is fueled by an increase in the geriatric population, as older people are more prone to muscle limitations.

When removing sling straps from patients, caregivers put forth less effort. Nonetheless, during the projection period, a scarcity of experienced technicians is expected to limit market expansion. However, among other factors, a lack of competent training and adequate understanding required to operate medical lifting slings, as well as challenges in treating obese patients, would hinder market expansion and will have a negative impact on the market's growth in the foreseeable future. Additionally, there is a considerable danger of cross-infection in reusable slings, which has hampered the market's growth throughout the forecast period.
