These stretchers often feature enhanced mobility options, and higher weight capacities, and are equipped with accessories tailored to the needs of bariatric patients, such as extendable sides and reinforced safety belts. Also, hospitals and medical centers are recognizing the necessity of investing in bariatric stretchers to provide equitable care, minimize the risk of injuries to patients and healthcare workers, and enhance the overall healthcare delivery to patients.

• Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure:

Emerging markets across the globe are experiencing rapid expansion in healthcare infrastructure, a development that is escalating the demand for hospital stretchers. As countries focus on enhancing their healthcare services to meet the needs of growing populations, there is a notable investment in modernizing and upgrading medical facilities. Additionally, modern hospital stretchers, featuring advanced functionalities for patient transport, care, and monitoring, are integral to this upgrade. Also, the procurement of such equipment is seen as essential for new or renovated healthcare facilities aiming to provide high standards of patient care, thus influencing market growth.
