- Press Release -

Rockville, Md. The global patient positioning market is set to grow from US$ 1.4 Bn in 2017 to a little over US$ 1.9 Bn by 2022, a 6.1% CAGR that Fact.MR links to better healthcare infrastructure and the spread of ergonomic device design. Comfort and dignity during surgery carry real clinical weight, and hospitals are under pressure to equip operating rooms with products that support proper positioning.

Surgical tables are the standout product, surgeries are the leading application, and hospitals dominate end use. North America carries the largest revenue, while Asia Pacific excluding Japan is the fastest-growing region as manufacturers set up closer to dense, underserved populations.

Products, Applications and Settings

Tables account for close to 20% of revenue in 2017, and surgical tables in particular are the top-selling product, expected to bring in nearly US$ 500 Mn by 2022. Surgeries are the largest application, at a little over US$ 485 Mn in 2017, with cancer therapy close behind and set to hold more than 38% of revenue through the forecast period. Hospitals remain the largest end user, though demand is spreading to diagnostic centers, which are expected to generate more than US$ 488 Mn by 2022.

North America stays the largest market, with revenue near US$ 480 Mn in 2017 on high healthcare spending, while Europe contributes about 30% of global value. Asia Pacific excluding Japan grows quickest at a 7.2% CAGR, topping US$ 238 Mn by 2022, helped by ample resources, lower costs and large patient volumes.

Infrastructure Drives Adoption

The market's momentum tracks healthcare investment. As developing regions upgrade facilities and add capacity, positioning solutions move from optional to expected, and ergonomic designs that reduce strain on both patients and clinical staff are becoming a purchasing priority. That steady modernisation underpins demand through the forecast period.
