“Patient-Driven Demands are Expected to Drive the Market”
Patient Positioning Accessories, which keeps advancing with technology, and therapeutic positioning, continues to focus a lot of attention on the patient comfort.
Increase in the number of medical procedures, as a result of high prevalence of chronic diseases, is one of the important reasons of driving the demand for these accessories and its products. As it has already been estimated by WHO, around 23.6 million new cases of diseases are expected to account for the worldwide count by the year 2031. Thus, a high number of diseases demand more diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. And these diagnostic and therapeutic procedures include radiology as a primary diagnosis, along with surgeries as a rehabilitation measure if required. Hence, the use of positioning accessories for these procedures is expected to increase.
There is also a trend of installing the latest equipment in the patient stabilization at patients facilities in high-income countries in order to increase their official ranking, thus fuelling the market growth.
With the increase in the treatment seeking rates of patients, the use of patient positioning accessories will grow in the coming years and eventually, this market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
“Limited Access to Diagnostic & Imaging Equipment's for Cancer Treatment”
When a specific treatment is required during emergency like road traffic accidents and immediate surgeries, a very small percentage of population has access to diagnostic or other advanced care. Even if many countries have programs for expansion and modernization, very less developed resources are available with them. Hence, even these basic stabilization instruments, that are crucial for the patient comfort and safety are not available.
In Africa, only a small percentage of population has access to medical diagnostic & imaging equipment's. These include the use of such patient comforting accessories at their primary healthcare seeking places. About only few equipment is available per million population.
Weak economic condition in a country also delays investment in medical infrastructure over there, which overall limits these positioning accessories market growth. There is currently a shortage of trained and qualified personnel in many parts of the world. This shortage obstructs the market growth of patient positioning accessories. Lancet Oncology also estimates that another 215,000 specialists will be needed by 2035.
In most developing countries, health-related infrastructure and trained human resources are lacking or poorly developed. There is an enormous need for trained oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapists which limits the market growth.
