Home care medical devices are designed to be used outside of a professional health care institution. A user might be a patient, caregiver, or family member who utilizes or assists in the usage of a home care medical device.
Wheelchairs, scooters, lifts, oxygen treatment equipment, accessibility beds, and toilets are all part of the home care medical device market. Until recently, these were generally marketed through distributors. Medical devices are crucial as patients shift to home care services for long-term care or recovery. As a result, multifunctional medical equipment is increasingly being used in homes, typically under unfavourable circumstances. This, in turn, has negative consequences for patient safety as well as the efficient operation of home care medical equipment, particularly those that require special attention or maintenance.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on the world economy at different levels, including the healthcare industry. R&D is likely to see a severe drop in sales during the lockdown period due to the shutdown of industrial units, acute shortages in raw materials, and a lack of potential workforce. Production and supply chain activities have faced slight setbacks as a result of the pandemic, as can be determined from the current scenario. However, following COVID-19, the market is expected to gradually recover, presenting excellent sales prospects in many parts of the world during the forecast period.
Top Impacting Factors
There has been an increase in the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other chronic diseases and a significant increase in the geriatric population which is projected to propel the growth of the market.
The global home care market is experiencing growth due to technological developments in medical equipment, such as smaller size, ease of access, higher affordability of portable devices, and oxygen-assisted mobility lifestyle.
Medical scooters are fast expanding due to their features of mobility for elderly patients and performance in an outside setting.
Rise in healthcare costs are predicted to boost the expansion of the home medical equipment market as home medical equipment has saved patients from the expenditures of clinical diagnostic procedures or continuous monitoring, allowing this industry to flourish in economically disadvantaged countries.
However, the growth of the market is being hampered by restricted insurance coverage for home healthcare devices and the risk to the safety of patients and home care employees.
