U.S. Hospital Bed Market

Industry Overview

The U.S. Hospital Bed Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period with its market size predicted to reach USD 1.5 Billion by 2030. The U.S. hospital bed market is primarily driven by technological advancements, the adoption of electric beds in ICUs, the high prevalence of chronic diseases, and the robust healthcare infrastructure in the region. Bariatric beds and general beds are contributing significantly to the U.S. medical bed revenue due to the high prevalence of obesity and increasing lifestyle-associated diseases.

The key trend in the U.S. medical bed industry is the development and adoption of fully electric beds. Various studies have shown an adverse impact on the nursing community and patient caretakers due to the difficulties faced during the positioning of critically ill patients, resulting in injury to nurses, doctors, and patients themselves. Electric beds offer automatic patient position adjustments, pressure relief, and improved sleep to the patient; therefore, leading to high traction in the market.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Area of Use

On the basis of the area of use, the market is categorized into acute care, critical care, and long-term care. Of all, urgent care and long-term care medical beds are anticipated to witness higher growth when compared to acute care beds. This is primarily due to the increasing geriatric population, and the high prevalence of chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular disorders.

Insight by Type

Different types of medical beds are general, bariatric, pediatric, pressure relief, birthing, and others. The general beds hold the largest share in the U.S. hospital bed market and are also predicted to observe the highest growth in its market size, primarily due to the low cost of these beds.

Insight by Power

On the basis of power, the market is categorized into manual, electric, and semi-electric beds. Among the different types of power, manual beds are estimated to account for the largest share in the hospital bed market in 2023. The demand for electric beds is predicted to be the highest in the country as the U.S. healthcare expenditure is the highest among all the countries across the globe, which illustrates the high affordability of electric beds in the country.

Insight by End-User

The primary end users of medical beds in the U.S. are hospitals, elderly care facilities, and home care settings. Among all end users, hospitals are estimated to account for the largest share of the U.S. hospital bed market size in 2020. The demand for medical beds is anticipated to remain the largest in the hospitals as most of the inpatient care is provided by public and private hospitals.

The fastest-growing demand for medical beds is witnessed by the elderly care facilities in the U.S. as the proportion of the elderly population has increased significantly over the years. The government encourages and provides incentives to the elderly care facilities for their contribution to the geriatric population's healthcare.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Different factors driving the U.S. hospital bed market are technological advancements, the adoption of electric beds in ICUs, the high prevalence of chronic diseases, and the robust healthcare infrastructure in the region. The U.S. spends a significant portion of its GDP on healthcare which leads to the developed infrastructure in the country. For instance, as per the U.S. National Health Expenditure Account (NHEA), U.S. healthcare expenditure increased by 3.9 percent in 2017, reaching USD 3.5 trillion or USD 10,739 per person, amounting to 17.9% of the country’s GDP. Also, the increasing technological advancements and development of portable patient monitoring devices have led to an increase in the demand for medical beds for providing home care.

Additionally, advancements in technology have introduced various types of hospital beds with improved functionality and features, such as adjustable height, electronic controls, pressure redistribution surfaces, and patient monitoring capabilities. These innovations contribute to the growth of the market as healthcare providers seek to enhance patient comfort, improve patient outcomes, and optimize workflow efficiency.
Another factor influencing the market is the increasing focus on patient-centered care and patient safety. Hospitals are increasingly investing in beds that offer features like fall prevention mechanisms, infection control measures, and integrated monitoring systems. These beds aim to enhance patient comfort while minimizing the risk of adverse events and healthcare-associated infections.

Challenges

The high healthcare cost and affordability of electric beds are the significant challenges faced by the U.S. hospital bed industry. The high cost in research and development leads to the high cost of electric beds thus decreasing its affordability to some extent. The changing demographics and evolving patient needs pose challenges for the hospital bed market. The aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and rising demand for home healthcare require beds that cater to specific patient requirements. Meeting the diverse needs of patients while ensuring cost-effectiveness and quality can be a challenge for manufacturers and healthcare providers.
