Increasing Number of Surgeries Due to the Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Propels the Patient Positioning Systems Market

Published: Oct 2019

The patient positioning systems market is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period. Patient positioning systems are the relocating devices that have a wide variety of applications in hospitals for the easy mobility of patients. These systems are utilized during surgical and diagnostic procedures. An increasing number of surgical and diagnostic procedures due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases has fueled the demand for patient positioning system market across the globe. According to the World Cancer Report published by the WHO, in 2018 around 18.1 million new cases of cancer were registered and the prevalence of cancer is estimated to reach 15 million new cases per year by 2020. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019, six in every 10 individuals are suffering from chronic diseases in the US which is a major factor for the recurrently increasing admission of patients in hospitals. This steady growth in the prevalence of disease acts as a driver for more and more R&D investment in the industry to make advancement in the patient positioning systems. As per the report of the National Health Services (NHS), in 2017, there were 42.1 million diagnostics imaging tests performed in the UK which shows a 3.6% increase in the number of diagnostics imagining tests in comparison to the previous year.
