According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global patient positioning systems market size is expected to grow from USD 1,171.6 million in 2021 to USD 1,711.3 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2022 to 2030. Hospitals frequently employ the patient positioning system, also referred to as a repositioning assist or device, to transfer and reposition patients. For the daily activities of the elderly population, those recovering from surgery, an accident, or any other medical condition, and those who are permanently incapacitated, patient positioning systems are required.

This system allows patients to be more independent and mobile by providing a simple and secure transfer. These are also beneficial for children with birth problems or who are cognitively challenged. During operations, patient positioning systems are utilized to ensure that the patient is in the proper posture. A patient positioning system is frequently high-end electronic-powered equipment or a simple construction. Positioning patients in the operating room is critical for providing the best treatment possible and avoiding complications such as nerve damage and pressure ulcers. These systems have several uses in health care, particularly in orthopedics, future care facilities, and general medical equipment.

The rising number of operations as a result of the increasing incidence of chronic illnesses drives the patient positioning devices market. Because of the rising frequency of chronic diseases such as cancer and renal ailments, more therapeutic and diagnostic techniques, including radiation therapy, are required. Furthermore, the global patient positioning systems market is driven by an increase in hospital demand for these systems, product research and innovation, and the worldwide geriatric population.

Other factors include technical developments in patient location systems and a sharp or sudden increase in the number of mentally challenged patients admitted to hospitals. Furthermore, the whole patient positioning equipment market is benefiting from a few aspects, such as the competitive environment of healthcare, which is allowing various new businesses such as hospitals, training hubs, and other medical facilities to make inroads. These are expected to help boost the global patient positioning system market.

Various constraints and hurdles might stymie overall market expansion. Market expansion is being hampered by issues such as replacement technology and tight rivalry among current product makers. Furthermore, the imposition of excise duty on the sale of taxable medical equipment inside the United States, product recalls, and the availability of reconditioned patient positioning systems are possible limitations affecting the global patient positioning system market's overall growth. Nonetheless, developments in medical technology, such as an increase in the frequency of robotic procedures needing more clear positioners, as well as untapped potential in new countries, provide positive growth opportunities.
