Fixed-height stretchers, adjustable stretchers, bariatric stretchers and radiographic stretchers are various types of stretchers that are available in the market. Of these, in 2012, fixed height stretchers held the majority share of this market followed by adjustable stretchers and bariatric stretchers. Bariatric stretchers have been identified as the fastest growing segment during the forecast period due to increasing obese population and rising surgical procedures such as gastric bypass, banding operations and stomach reduction. Providing effective healthcare services to these patients remain a prime healthcare challenge hence, several manufacturers have launched stretchers that can withstand weight up to 700 pounds.

Based on technology, electrical or motorized stretchers accounted for more than 25% revenue share of the global hospital stretchers market. Moreover, during the forecast period the technology is expected to increase its market share and emerge as the fastest growing segment, reporting a CAGR of over 7% by 2019. On the other hand, the market for non-motorized stretchers during the forecast period would be driven by demand from low budget hospitals that prefer to purchase low cost equipment.

Among these, day care surgery department is expected to record fastest growth rate during the forecast period.

In 2012, North America and Europe were the largest regional players of hospital stretchers market capturing more than 65% of market share. The leadership position of these regions in the market was primarily witnessed due to increasing number of hospital admissions and aging population. Similarly, increasing number of ambulatory surgical centers, due to growing demand of elective procedures is another major factor that contributed in fueling the market of hospital stretchers in these regions. Additionally, the market growth in North America and Europe regions would also be dependent on replacement of existing stretchers with specialized stretchers. On the other hand, Asia-Pacific region is expected to increase its market share and emerge as the fastest growing segment. Rapidly emerging medical tourism industry in the Asian countries due to low cost of various surgical procedures is cited as one of the major factor driving the growth of hospital stretchers in this region. Similarly, presence of large population base which consequently gives rise to patient population, increasing number of road traffic accidents and increasing prevalence of chronic disorders remains significant growth drivers for the hospital stretchers market in Asia-Pacific market.
