The Global Bariatric Medical Chairs Market size is expected to reach $781.8 million by 2030, rising at a market growth of 7.1% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 626.2 thousand units, experiencing a growth of 6.6% (2019-2022).
The expanding older adult population, which points to significant socioeconomic pressure in Asia Pacific region, can be attributed to this high growth. Hence, Asia Pacific Region will register more than 28% share in the market by 2030. Major segment expansion drivers include growing disposable income, improved access to healthcare, an established R&D infrastructure, and increasing knowledge of various medical diseases. Additionally, it is projected that ample untapped possibilities in Asia Pacific presented by leading competitors will spur segment growth during the forecast period. Some of the factors impacting the market rise in the number of patient admissions globally, increase in the population of elderly people, and unavailability of problem specific chairs for many patients.
The demand will increase due to rising hospital admission rates and COVID-19 cases worldwide. Healthcare professionals are compensated under value-based care based on patient outcomes instead of the quantity of services they render. This innovative approach could reduce unaffordable healthcare spending in nations like the United States. This value-based care (VBC) strategy promises to provide patients with higher-quality care and outcomes at a lower cost. All these factors will help in the expansion of the market. A decline in family support for long-term caregiving and costly formal long-term caregiving services are related to aging. As a result, these social structural changes are expected to increase the demand for healthcare services, ultimately driving the need for these chairs. Primary care doctors enhance their care for their elderly patients by taking an organized approach to the many facets of geriatric medicine. Adding specialty medical equipment, such as bariatric medical chairs and tables, will help in providing the utmost care to elderly patients and will significantly reduce the cases of falling. This factor will boost the demand in the coming years.
Furthermore, the recent COVID-19 outbreak worldwide had considerably influenced the bariatric medical chairs market. Patients needing advanced medical equipment and critical care multiplied significantly. The COVID-19 outbreak also increased the number of individuals with various concurrent respiratory illnesses. The demand for bariatric medical chairs increased, opening up numerous prospects for market expansion.
However, many medical chairs are designed and produced with maximum obesity-related issues kept in consideration. However, these chairs might not suit the sitting positions and support needs of every patient. The patient’s back won’t be supported adequately if the gluteal shelf forces them forward in the chair. To prevent dragging the patient forward and into a sacral sitting posture, the seat depth and height must be adjusted to match the length of the patient’s legs. Such negligence and improper planning of medical chairs can be a restraining factor for the growth of the market.
End-Use Outlook
On the basis of end use, the market is divided into hospitals, clinics, and others. In 2022, the clinics segment acquired a significant revenue share in the market. The expansion of this segment is aided by an increase in the number of people seeking out clinics for various therapies, including dental care. Patients are guaranteed the best possible fit and comfort in these chairs. Patients can sit in typical postures because of the chair’s lowered capacity, ensuring comfort and accuracy. Given their small size and lightweight strucrure, these chairs are easy to store and relocate. These features of bariatric medical chairs are expected to increase demand for them in the clinics segment.
Type Outlook
Based on type, the market is segmented into manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. The manual adjustment procured the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. Bariatric medical chairs that are manually operated are simple and convenient. In emerging economies, manually adjustable chairs are inexpensive and cost-effective. The manual adjustment bariatric medical chair applications further fuel the market’s expansion. Several industry participants now provide unique manual adjustment chairs to address the growing demand for manually adjusted bariatric medical chairs.
Regional Outlook
Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America segment procured the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. This expansion can be attributed to the favorable reimbursement environment and the growing senior population in the region. During the projection period, the regional segment is expected to be driven by the rising prevalence of lifestyle-associated illnesses brought on by the region’s growing obese population. The number of ENT, dental, and ophthalmology clinics expanding across the United States and Canada is another factor boosting demand.
