COVID-19 Impact

Rapidly growing confirmed cases of coronavirus disease are encouraging the intensive care community in the healthcare market to prepare for the challenges associated with this pandemic. Therefore, COVID-19 affected countries are constantly focusing on increasing their ICU bed capacity that will help support the market expansion.

Hence, growing COVID-19 cases will augment the market growth over the forecast period.
 

In addition, as the new patients suffering from COVID-19 will occupy the intensive care beds in the hospitals, the demand for new ICU beds will increase in the near future. Moreover, rising hospital admissions due to severe symptoms of coronavirus disease will boost the intensive care beds market growth in the upcoming years. For instance, according to a recently published data by the World Health Organization, around 15% to 20% of the COVID-19 infected Chinese population required hospitalization and 40% to 55% of the COVID-19 patients have been hospitalized in Italy & Spain.

The manual ICU beds are less expensive and require minimum manufacturing costs as compared to other ICU beds. As the COVID-19 affected people are continuously rising globally, the demand for manual intensive care beds will increase in the upcoming years.
 

The specialized ICUs segment is estimated to expand at a CAGR of more than 4% over 2020 to 2026. The specialized ICUs provide an intensive care for the patients with critical medical conditions.

The hospitals segment was valued at around USD 800 million and is projected to witness substantial growth in the coming years. Rapid growth in the number of hospital admissions and increasing ratio of ICU beds to hospital beds are some of the major factors propelling the growth of intensive care beds market. For instance, according to a recently published data by Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, in UK, the number of people admitted to hospitals with coronavirus symptoms stood at over 100,000.
 

U.S. dominated the North America intensive care beds market in 2019 and was valued at over USD 480 million.

For instance, according to a recently published data by the National Council on Aging, around 77% of older inhabitants in the U.S. are suffering from at least two chronic diseases. Thus, owing to the higher risk of chronic disorders to older adults, there will be an upsurge in the intensive care beds in the future.
