• Medium Term (2025-2028): Rising prevalence of chronic diseases demanding the application of patient positioning systems to fuel market growth in the medium term.
• Long Term (2028-2032): Product innovation and development trends to fuel long-term market growth.

Sales of patient positioning systems in the United States registered a historic CAGR of 2.8% from 2017 to 2021. As per the detailed market analysis by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit 4.3% CAGR during the assessment period (2022-2032).

Market share analysis of application and region is provided in the above image in a nutshell. Under the application segment, surgeries held the largest market share of 32.4% at the end of 2021.

Will the U.S. See Increasing Demand for Patient Positioning Units?

“Robotic Patient Positioning Systems - Pivot for Future Models & Margins”

Major technological reforms are set to provide a major boost to the patient positioning system market in the United States. Advancements in technology are now being applied to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of patient positioning systems. Key manufacturers in the market are investing in research and development to introduce advanced products as per new standards.

Research in healthcare infrastructure demands the development of advanced patient positioning equipment. Thus, the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence with patient positioning systems is setting up new trends in the market, which is anticipated to be one of the major demand drivers in the United States market over the forecast years.

Furthermore, the infusion of robotics in patient positioning systems is anticipated to be a major trend over the coming years and provide for additional demand, since these systems are extremely efficient, more precise, and easy to use.

Overall, rise in the number of healthcare facilities across the U.S. is likely to lead to wider integration of patient positioning systems in the years ahead.

“Rise in Prevalence of Chronic Diseases across the World”

Rising geriatric population and escalating demand for elderly care services are augmenting the need for patient positioning systems that help in repositioning patients and provide mobility to those recovering from injuries and surgeries. These systems also provide enhanced safety and ease of access to the doctors who are performing surgeries.

In addition, the rising occurrence of chronic diseases and an increase in the number of surgeries requiring hospitalization, coupled with technological advancements facilitating easy procedures, are some of the major factors that are driving demand for patient positioning systems across the country.

Do Patient Positioning System Suppliers Face Any Threat?

“Alternative Solutions Can Hamper Demand Growth to Some Extent”

Fierce competition amongst manufacturers has resulted in the development of alternate solutions in the market.

For instance, the development of Robotized Patient Positioning System (RPPS) as an alternative, with a 7 Degree-of-Freedom (DoF) manipulator carrying the patient attached to a robot and effector is being adopted.

Thus, such alternative solutions are likely to dent the demand growth of patient positioning systems to some extent over the years in the United States.
