Summary

Patient lateral transfer devices are used to shift a patient from one surface to another surface i.e. shifting a patient from a bed to stretcher, bed to wheel chair, etc. Shifting a patient from one place to another can cause an injury to caregivers. Hence, varieties of patient lateral transfer devices are available in the market for shifting patients, such as draw sheets, slide sheets, transfer belts/ slide boards, turning disks, etc. These products can be used based on the condition of the patient.

In 2019, according to United States Department of Labor, the U.S. hospitals recorded 221,400 work-related injuries and illnesses, a rate of 5.5 work-related injuries and illnesses for every 100 full-time employees. This is almost twice the rate for a private industry as a whole.

To avoid any injury and risk to both caregivers and patients, healthcare providers have started using patient lateral transfer products, which has increased the demand for patient lateral transfer devices.

The patient lateral transfer devices market expected to be valued at US$ 291.6 million in 2021, and it is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.7% over the forecast period (2021-2028)

Increasing hospitalization of obese and severe patients, which would subsequently increase the demand for patient lateral transfer devices, is anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 1999-2000 through 2017-2018, the age-adjusted prevalence of obesity increased from 30.5% to 42.5% and the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%. These factors are expected to result in a high rate of hospitalisation which would facilitate the patient lateral transfer devices market growth.
