The North America market for medical hygiene devices expanded at a value CAGR of 3.7% over the last four years (2017-2021).
Medical hygiene is the process of providing medical care to individuals that are at a high risk of getting infected with a virus or disease. There are several types of devices such as bathtubs, bath lifts, shower chairs, and lift chairs, which are used in long-term care facilities, acute care centers, and assisted living facilities to provide medical care to these patients.
One of the crucial things observed during the pandemic was that the population across the world became more concerned about hygiene. To reduce the spread of any kind of infection, special precautions are being adopted by everyone. The adoption of medical hygiene devices has also increased because priority is being given to hygiene practices to prevent further the spread of secondary infection.
People confined to the bed due to a prolonged illness or weakness experience pressure ulcers.
With this high prevalence of pressure ulcers, there is a greater patient preference for medical hygiene products. Moreover, due to their ease of use, these devices allow a reduction in the workforce required to manage patients.
Key players in the market are currently focusing on developing next-generation products, such as power-assisted products, which will bring traction to the market and assist with improving their sales.
The North America medical hygiene devices market is predicted to move ahead at a CAGR of 4.2% and record sales worth US$ 1.05 Bn by the end of 2032.
“Increasing Availability of Assistive Technology and Rising Product Awareness”
There is always a scope to improve technology and focus more on meeting the needs of the target population. The population is more attracted to quality, so it is necessary to understand the quality aspect when launching a product. It should also be technologically driven so that it is advanced as compared to existing products in the market.
Manufacturers of medical hygiene devices gain a competitive advantage through novel products with integrated digital technology. This is an opportunity for market players to expand in the market and focus on providing optimum quality.
For example, the use of AI to focus more on automation rather than manual tasks has a great impact on the market. The idea behind this approach is to focus more on digitalization rather than manual handling. It becomes easier for the caregiver as well as the patient.
It is generally seen that most of these technologies have an impact in developed countries. The population in developing economies displays a lower rate of adoption of medical hygiene devices owing to the low awareness of product availability and less product adoption within medical settings.
“High Cost of Products and Increasing Environmental Concerns Regarding Medical Waste Disposal”
With the increased use of medical devices to promote healthcare, there is also an increase in the amount of medical waste generated, which is a huge concern for the environment.
The overall waste generated can be hazardous to the environment if not recycled. Moreover, disposable waste such as disposable liners can contaminate the air as well as groundwater. Improper waste segregation is also one of the major causes that impact the environment.
The lack of proper knowledge regarding the health hazards related to healthcare waste and adequate waste management is the leading cause of this problem. This could hamper overall market growth. Proper disposal of medical waste should be taken into account to overcome this limitation.
Products in the market are technically advanced but also cost more, due to which, many products do not fit in the budget range for some organizations or individuals, and this can restrain the growth of the medical hygiene equipment market in the region.
Why are Medical Hygiene Device Providers Targeting the U.S. Market?
“Rapidly Rising Geriatric Population in the U.S.”
In 2021, the U.S. medical hygiene devices market was valued at US$ 629.7 Mn and held a market share of 93.9% in North America.
As the population of older people grows, along with their lifespan, the need for social activities and engagements as well as assistance for daily activities is also increasing. As such, demand for long-term care centers as well as assisted living facilities are also increasing, thereby driving high requirements for medical hygiene devices in the country.
How is the Medical Hygiene Equipment Market Shaping Up in Canada?
“Ontario on Track to Build 30,000 New Long-term Care Beds”
