Global Medical Carts Market Growth Opportunity

Burgeoning Demand for Orthopedic Carts Worldwide: The augmenting demand for orthopedic carts owing to the rising cases of orthopedic trauma will likely present lucrative opportunities for the market players. For example, according to figures from the International Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis is thought to be the cause of 8.9 million fractures per year, or one every three seconds, with 1.6 million hip fractures happening globally each year, with a predicted increase to 4.5 million by 2050. Casts and splints are included on an orthopedic cart to treat fractures, sprains, and strains.

Global Medical Carts Market Regulatory Landscape

Stringent Regulations for Risk Management Testing: Medical carts must undergo risk management testing under IEC 60601-1; therefore, they must be thoroughly tested to comply with all FDA rules. In addition, the U.S. FDA warned healthcare providers nationwide that their mobile medical carts might pose a fire threat. Lithium and lead acid batteries can overheat, emit hazardous smoke, catch fire, or even explode when used in crash carts, pharmaceutical distribution carts, and other carts used for point-of-care services, barcode scanning, and patient monitoring. Hence, manufacturers must comply with all FDA standards & guidelines before releasing or selling new products.

Global Medical Carts Market Trend

Strong Emphasis on Telemedicine: The emerging concept of telemedicine coupled with the popularity of remote patient monitoring has remained the major trend driving the need for advanced medical carts. These carts can be equipped with video conferencing capabilities, remote diagnostic tools, and other telehealth technologies, allowing healthcare professionals to conduct virtual consultations and provide care remotely.

Global Medical Carts Market (2023-28): Segmentation Analysis

The Global Medical Carts Market study from MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends & influencing factors in each segment & includes predictions for the period 2023–2028 at the global, regional, and national levels. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified:

Based on Product Type:

  • Mobile Computing Carts
  • Emergency Carts
  • Procedure Cart
  • Anesthesia Cart
  • Computer Medical Carts
  • Specialty Carts
  • Medication Carts
  • Others (Medical Storage Columns, Cabinets, etc.)

Among all, mobile computing carts are gaining significant traction in the Global Medical Carts Market. With the high frequency of EHR (Electronic Health Records) usage and the mounting demand for seamless healthcare information management, healthcare facilities worldwide are increasingly adopting mobile computing carts, which are equipped with integrated computers that provide healthcare professionals with real-time access to patient data, medication administration systems, & other critical applications. The convenience, mobility, & efficiency offered by these carts contribute to their rising popularity. The same trend is likely in the coming years as healthcare organizations prioritize technological advancements for enhanced patient care & workflow optimization, which, in turn, would spur growth in the global medical carts market.

Based on Material Type:

  • Polymer
  • Steel
  • Aluminum

Steel, particularly stainless steel medical carts, dominate the market, which owes to their durability, strength, & security. They can withstand heavy use & impacts and carry heavy loads without compromising integrity. Stainless steel exhibits superior resistance to tampering, ensuring the safety of valuable equipment & patient records. In addition, the non-porous & smooth steel surfaces make cleaning and maintenance easy, which reduces the risk of contamination. Customization options like adjustable shelves & compartments in these carts help optimize storage & accessibility. These benefits of stainless steel medical carts allow pharma companies to increase their productivity and reduce the cost of goods by eliminating human errors & contamination risks. Hence, owing to these aspects, steel remains the preferred choice for its robustness and thus holds a larger share of the Global Medical Carts Market.
