The global hospital stretchers market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.33 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. An increasing number of daycare surgeries, integration of IoT and connectivity, and increasing healthcare expenditure are some of the key factors driving the market growth.
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and connectivity presents a noteworthy opportunity within the market. This convergence is enhancing patient care by leveraging connected devices and decision-support tools. Beyond virtual care, this technological evolution encompasses the integration of sensors, wearables, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics.
Furthermore, incorporation of IoT technology and connectivity features into hospital stretchers enhances their functionality. This augmentation allows for seamless communication with other medical equipment and hospital systems. Adopting this interconnected approach not only improves patient care but also optimizes the overall healthcare delivery process. For instance, in February 2022, Stryker completed the previously announced acquisition of Vocera Communications, Inc. With this acquisition, the company now possesses the capability to wirelessly communicate crucial patient information in near real-time to the Vocera Badge or the nurses' station via Vision, a protocol management dashboard. This integration streamlines workflows, facilitating on-the-go monitoring and presenting significant opportunities for driving innovations and accelerating digital aspirations in healthcare. The acquired capabilities are expected to contribute to market growth, with IoT and connectivity emerging as key drivers in shaping the future of hospital stretchers.
This integration not only improves patient outcomes through timely intervention but also streamlines hospital workflows, optimizing resource utilization. The data generated by connected stretchers allows for predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and ensuring the reliability of critical medical equipment. Overall, the synergy between IoT and hospital stretchers not only enhances patient care but also contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services, ultimately propelling the market growth.
