Market Growth Factors
The need for hospital stretchers is driven largely by chronic disease and an aging population. According to America's Health Rankings 2023 annual report, over 29 million United States adults had three chronic diseases or more in 2022. Arthritis, asthma, chronic renal disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, cancer, depression, and diabetes are chronic diseases. These diseases cause a rise in hospitalization. Hospitalization drives the growth of the hospital stretchers market.

The market is expected to gain from the rise in numbers of surgeries and emergencies, including road accidents. The number of road accidents in the US increased 16.9% in 2021 compared to that in 2020, according to the National Safety Council. As patient transport stretchers are an essential part of providing safe transport to injured patients, the market for stretchers is therefore constantly in demand to prevent further injury.

Technologies that make stretchers safer, versatile and easy to handle, including motorized stretchers with height adjustment, easy transfer of the patient from the stretcher to a hospital bed, smart technologies, IoT connection and remote monitoring, are becoming more popular among players looking to gain a stronger footing in developed regions.
