According to the research report, “North America Patient Lifting Equipment Market Outlook, 2028,” published by Bonafide Research, the North America Patient Lifting Equipment market was valued at more than USD 1 Billion in 2022. Every year, between 250,000 and 500,000 people worldwide have spinal cord injuries. The majority of these cases are the result of avoidable factors like car crashes and violence. An estimated 17,000 new instances of SCI are reported in the US each year, and more than 280,000 people are thought to be affected by the condition. Most individuals with SCI associated with sports injuries are men. Spinal cord injuries can result in varying degrees of paralysis, greatly impeding an individual's ability to move, transfer, and perform routine activities. The loss of mobility not only poses physical challenges but also takes a toll on the psychological well-being of those affected. Patient lifting equipment emerges as a pivotal intervention in addressing these challenges, offering a lifeline for individuals seeking to regain control over their movements and daily lives. The North American patient lifting equipment market is witnessing a significant transformation driven by rapid technological advancements. Integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into patient lifting equipment allows for real-time tracking, monitoring, and data collection. Smart patient lifts equipped with sensors can provide valuable insights into patient movement patterns, usage statistics, and equipment status. The incorporation of robotics and automation into patient lifting equipment is streamlining the transfer process and reducing the physical burden on healthcare professionals.

According to the report, end users are segmented into hospitals, homecare, elderly care facilities, and others. In North America, the use of patient lifts at home is a growing market, and the ageing population in North America is a significant driver of the demand for patient lifting equipment. As more individuals prefer to receive care in the comfort of their homes, there is a growing need for equipment that facilitates safe and efficient transfers and mobility assistance. There is a cultural shift towards promoting "ageing in place," encouraging seniors to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Patient lifting equipment enables individuals with mobility challenges to receive necessary care at home, contributing to their independence and quality of life. Home care is often viewed as a cost-effective alternative to institutional care. The use of patient lifting equipment in a home care setting can help reduce the overall cost of care by minimising the need for extended stays in hospitals or long-term care facilities. This economic consideration is driving the adoption of patient lifting solutions in home-based care. Technological advancements have led to the development of portable and compact patient lifting equipment. These solutions are well-suited for home care environments where space may be limited. Lightweight and easily manoeuvrable patient lifts enable carers to provide effective assistance without the need for extensive modifications to the home setting.
