Portland, United States, May 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Medical Carts Market by Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017–2023," the global medical carts market was valued at $571 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $1,302 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2017 to 2023. The emergency cart segment accounted for nearly half share of the total market in 2016.
Medical cart/trolley is a mobile equipment, which consists of a set of shelves, trays, compartments, and drawers for hospital use and medical settings. It carries, dispense, and transport emergency drugs, medicines, medical devices, and medical instruments. Carts are a crucial aspect of medical aid as it provides storing, recording, and dispensing drugs, supplies, and patient information along with patient care. Many carts are designed to supply various surgical and emergency needs depending on the operating room and other medical settings.
The emergency carts segment is expected to dominate the Asia-Pacific medical carts market throughout the forecast period, both in terms of value and volume. China dominated the Asia-Pacific medical carts market in 2016, accounting for more than one-third market share in terms of value, and is projected to continue this trend in the future. In addition, growth in improvement of patient safety and nursing efficiency supplement the market growth. Further, advancement in technologies, such as telemedicine offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of this market. However, lack of skilled professionals, high cost of medical carts, and limited government funding restrain the market growth.
The emergency carts segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance, generating highest revenue throughout the forecast period, owing to the large-scale employment of emergency carts at the time of crisis. This is because emergency carts contain sophisticated devices, such as defibrillators, suction devices, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), apart from drugs, such as atropine, dopamine and others. In addition, it also includes generic drugs to treat common problems, rapid sequence intubation, and pediatric equipment. However, procedure carts segment is growing at the highest CAGR of 13.0% from 2017 to 2023 in terms of value, as it consists many medical equipment that aid in operating procedures, such as endoscopy, cardiology and others and provides access to essential drugs at the same time.
According to Sriram Radhakrishnan, Team Lead, Healthcare at Allied Market Research, “The need for bedside patient care in various situations, such as in operating rooms and other emergency circumstances, is expected to propel the medical cart market during the forecast period. Innovation in functionality of medical carts that features universal mounting accessory function, RFID (Radio-frequency identification) locking drawers, and dual pull-out workout shelves enhance the utility of the emergency carts. Moreover, growth in healthcare expenditure and investments in the market have encouraged the manufacturers to develop cost-effective and customized medical carts in the developing countries boosting the market growth”
