Patient Positioning System: Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising government funds for hospital expansions
With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and growing preference for minimally invasive procedures, the number of hospitals offering treatments with specialized staff and equipment is increasing. Moreover, hospitals with surgical equipment aim to invest in innovative technologies and expand operating rooms to meet patient requirements. For instance:
- In May 2022, The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus announced that it would make a $200 million investment over the next five years to create the Gates Institute, a research and treatment center that will focus on the development of new regenerative, cellular, and gene therapies for a variety of serious illnesses.
- In October 2021, the Scottish Government invested Euros 300 million in the winter funding package to increase the capacity of NHS hospitals and primary care centers.
Restraint: Implementation of excise duty on taxable medical devices
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the US government imposed an excise tax of 2.3% on the domestic sales of Class I, II, and III medical devices. This tax applies to medical devices manufactured or imported into the US. Due to this implementation, the market for patient positioning systems, which falls under Class I and II medical devices, will be affected in the US. The tax imposition will also reduce manufacturers' profit margins; as a result, the prices of medical devices are expected to increase in the country. This, in turn, will lead to a subsequent delay in purchasing new instruments, negatively impacting market growth to a certain extent.
The US is a major market for patient positioning systems and thus, the imposition of excise tax on medical devices in the country is expected to affect the patient positioning systems market on a global level.
Opportunities: Emerging markets
Emerging countries such as India, China, and Brazil are expected to offer potential growth opportunities for market players in the coming years. The large population, especially in India and China, offers a sustainable market for patient positioning systems. Lifestyle changes and poor dietary habits in these regions have increased the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and CVDs. For instance, according to GLOBOCAN, China accounted for 24% of newly diagnosed cases and 30% of cancer-related deaths worldwide; this number is expected to increase by 2030. Similarly, the incidence of cancer in India has surged from 1.1 million in 2018 to 1.3 million in 2020.
Considering the potential growth opportunities in these countries, major players are focusing on undertaking various strategic developments, such as entering into distribution agreements with local players, to increase their market presence.
Challenges: Availability of refurbished patient positioning systems
The availability of refurbished patient positioning systems is considered a challenge to market growth. DRE Medical, Inc. (US), Future Health Concepts (US), and Soma Technology, Inc. (US) are some of the companies offering refurbished patient positioning systems in the market. Several end users are currently opting for refurbished systems due to the declining healthcare expenditure in major global healthcare markets. Moreover, end users prefer using cost-effective systems in developing countries, which are considered price-sensitive markets. Considering these factors, the demand for refurbished patient positioning systems is expected to increase in the coming years as these systems offer the same functionalities as new equipment at a lower cost. This, in turn, is expected to hamper the revenue of companies offering branded patient positioning systems in the market.
