Global Patient Lateral Transfer Devices Market Size, Trends & Growth Opportunity By Product(Slide Sheets, Transfer Accessories, and Air Assisted Transfer Devices), By Distribution Channel (Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Hospitals), By Region and Forecast till 2027
Market Overview
Global Patient Lateral Transfer Devices Market was valued at USD 364.88 million in 2021 which is expected to reach USD 565.3 million by 2027 at a CAGR 11.14 % from 2022 - 2027.
Lateral patient transfer is described as moving a patient from one surface to another, such as from bed to bed, bed to medical cart, and so on. Patient shifting was performed by staff members, putting the healthcare personnel' shoulders and lower back at risk. Patient lateral transfer equipment such as roller boards, repositioning sheets with the use of a ceiling lift, air transfer devices, and friction reduction sheets reduce the force required to execute a lateral transfer, resulting in fewer musculoskeletal injuries among carers.
 Market Drivers
Incidence of musculoskeletal illnesses such as tendinitis, low back pain, and others is likely to drive growth in the global patient lateral transfer devices market. Furthermore, the increased risk of carer injuries during manual patient handling would have a favorable impact on the worldwide patient lateral transfer device market. For example, according to a paper published in the International Journal of Caring Sciences in 2017, low back pain is a widespread occupational health concern that causes major physical, mental, and sensory problems for healthcare workers, particularly nurses. 
Impact of COVID 19 on Market
Increase in COVID 19 pandemic is likely to propel market expansion throughout the forecast period. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate of hospitalization is predicted to increase in April 2020 due to COVID 19, which is expected to boost the demand for patient lateral transfer devices. 
 Market Restraints
However, a lack of understanding about how to use modern technologies and a scarcity of qualified specialists are projected to limit the worldwide patient lateral transfer devices market's growth. 
 Market Segmentation
Global Patient Lateral Transfer Devices Market is segmented into product type such as Slide Sheets, Transfer Accessories, and Air Assisted Transfer Devices (Spilt-leg Mattresses, Regular Mattresses, and Half Mattresses), by material type such as Reusable, and Single Patient Use. Further, Global Patient Lateral Transfer Devices Market is segmented into end user such as Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Hospitals, and Others.
Also, Global Patient Lateral Transfer Devices Market is segmented into five regions such as North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominates the patient lateral transfer market because to the region's strong healthcare facility base, growing overweight population base, rising number of road accidents, and rising number of research activities.
Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 due to an increase in government initiatives to raise awareness, an increase in medical tourism, growing research activities in the region, the availability of massive untapped markets, a large population pool, the availability of well-established infrastructure, the presence of key market players, and the growing demand for quality healthcare in the region.
