Global patient lateral transfer devices market is estimated to be valued at USD 379.5 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Patient lateral transfer devices help critically ill patients move from one surface to another safely and efficiently without compromising on their medical condition or treatment. They serve as an important tool for healthcare workers in hospitals and nursing homes to transfer patients between beds, stretchers, chairs, and other equipment. These devices come equipped with straps, handles, and sliding sheets to provide proper support and prevent injuries during transfers. Their growing usage can be attributed to the rising elderly population suffering from limited mobility and the increasing instances of chronic diseases and accidents that require long term medical care.

Market Dynamics:

The global patient lateral transfer devices market is driven by the rising geriatric population prone to injuries during transfers due to age-related illness and impaired mobility. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like obesity, cardiovascular disorders, and diabetes is leading to greater need for long term medical care. This is expected to boost the demand for these devices from hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings. However, budgetary constraints faced by healthcare facilities in developing countries might hamper the market growth. On the other hand, continuous innovation in device designs to improve patient safety, care, and comfort provides lucrative opportunities for market players. The introduction of powered lateral transfer devices with enhanced functionality could gain significant traction going forward.
