Global Patient Positioning Systems Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Patient Positioning Systems Market Outlook

The global patient positioning systems market size was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2023, driven by the increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures across the globe. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 1.8 billion by 2032.

Patient Positioning Systems: Introduction

Patient positioning systems are used to prevent problems of immobility and injury in patients. It helps healthcare professionals perform safe, successful procedures, and provides comfort for patients undergoing treatment or recovery. Proper positioning also helps to prevent potential complications such as nerve damage or pressure ulcers. When a patient is positioned correctly during surgery, specimen collection, or other therapies, the surgical or targeted treatment area is best exposed, and the patient's dignity is maintained by limiting needless exposure. In most cases, correct patient placement ensures physiologic safety, preserves body alignment, and manages airway and breathing.

Global Patient Positioning Systems Market Analysis

The market is experiencing significant growth driven by factors including increasing research and development activities aimed at producing innovative patient positioning equipment. Such activities are directly contributing to patient positioning systems market share by enhancing the comfort and safety of patients, especially during critical procedures like radiotherapy, where immobilization is important. For example, Centre Léon Bérard in France is where researchers have examined a novel patient positioning system known as "the chair." This system, currently in commercial development by Leo Cancer Care, is meticulously designed to facilitate appropriate and convenient patient positioning.

Additionally, patient positioning systems are also experiencing technological advancements such as the integration of robotics technology, further propelling the global patient positioning systems market growth. For example, Canadian company Bruyère, specializing in patient transfer technology, recently announced its acquisition of Able Innovations' ALTA Platform™, a robotic patient transfer device resembling a hospital bed, intended for complex care units. Able Innovations™ is a leading firm in robotics development, enabling healthcare professionals to achieve more with fewer resources. Such initiatives by key players are attributed to further drive the market development.

The market is also influenced by material science research expected to help in the development of lighter, more durable, and cost-effective patient positioning devices. Increasing focus on personalization in the healthcare sector coupled with the increased demand for adaptable patient positioning solutions to accommodate individual patient needs and anatomical variations are also contributing to the market growth directly. Furthermore, the integration of telemedicine and remote monitoring technologies is also expected to increase demand for patient positioning devices that can be operated and monitored remotely, aligning with the growing need for efficient and flexible healthcare settings.
