The latest report by IMARC, titled “Hospital Stretchers Market Report by Product Type (Fixed Height Stretchers, Adjustable Stretchers, Bariatric Stretchers, and Others), Technology (Motorized Stretchers, Non-Motorized Stretchers), Application (Intra-Hospital, Pediatric Care, Emergency Department, Radiology Department, and Others), and Region 2025-2033”, finds that the global hospital stretchers market size reached USD 3.0 Billion in 2024. Hospital stretchers are machines used to move and transport patients requiring medical care. Some of the most common types of hospital stretchers include radiographic, fixed height, adjustable, and bariatric. They are manufactured from canvas and synthetic materials and possess a patient platform made of steel, aluminum, or plastic placed on a wheeled structure. They help save time by moving the patients around safely and are thus widely used in surgical procedures, hospital beds, and for examination and inspection of the patient. In recent years, hospital stretchers have gained traction due to their massive employment in acute hospital care, including emergency, radiology, rescue services, and pediatric care.
Global Hospital Stretchers Market Trends:
One of the primary factors driving the market is the rising incidences of chronic ailments, such as neurological disorders, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) globally has resulted in a surging demand for hospital stretchers, along with various attachments, such as support extensions and ventilators. Other than this, bariatric stretchers containing large wheels, wider frames and winch, and pull and push handles for the secure transportation of obese patients are also gaining popularity in the market. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of road accidents requiring immediate medical aid is escalating the product demand. In line with this, significant technological innovations, such as the launch of stretchers with numerous attachments, including toe clamp, lifting bridles, head or spine immobilizer, and footboard and wrist rest, are catalyzing the market growth. Other growth-inducing factors include exponential growth in the healthcare infrastructure, growing geriatric population, rising hospitalization, and various product innovations. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 4.5 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
