The MEA patient handling devices market is primarily driven by a year-on-year increase in patients requiring patient handling devices to balance their physical & medical conditions.

According to the World Health Organization, disability disorders affect about 15% of the global population.

Furthermore, global improvements in healthcare infrastructure are boosting the MEA patient handling device market's growth rate.

The MEA patient handling devices market is benefiting from developing novel products with cutting-edge technology, notably in healthcare. In addition, patient care is becoming more common, speeding up market expansion.

Because the transit embargo was lifted and the supply chain reopened, the lifting of the lockdown had a favorable impact on market growth. Because of the increased patient pool, the demand for patient handling devices has skyrocketed. Manufacturers of patient handling devices are focusing on meeting hospitals' needs. During the epidemic, the market experienced significant expansion. In the coming years, the market, on the other hand, is likely to have a more substantial proportion.

One of the reasons limiting the growth of the patient handling equipment market is the long-term problems that arise while dealing with overweight patients. In addition, the expensive cost of these devices is restricting the market's growth rate. Patient handling equipment demand is further hampered by the manufacturing industry's scarcity of raw materials.

The number of positive cases increased dramatically during COVID-19. The Patient Handling Devices Market has a global supply chain; however, due to the nationwide lockdown, the supply chain between countries has been disrupted.
