Patient positioning systems refer to devices utilized to position or immobilize patients during medical procedures such as surgery and imaging, aimed at obtaining clearer and more accurate images. The primary purpose of these systems is to ensure the physical health and safety of patients before, during, and after the procedure.
The main product types of patient positioning systems include tables, surgical tables, radiolucent imaging tables, examination tables, and others. A table in this context is a flat-top piece of furniture specifically designed to assist medical practitioners in accurately placing patients without requiring excessive lifting or exertion. These tables play a crucial role in various medical applications, including surgery, diagnostics, and others, and find use in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic laboratories, and similar healthcare settings.
The patient positioning systems market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides patient positioning systems market statistics, including patient positioning systems industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a patient positioning systems market share, detailed patient positioning systems market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the patient positioning systems industry. This patient positioning systems market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The patient positioning systems market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.38 billion in 2024 to $1.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing demand for minimally invasive procedure, growing emphasis on patient safety, aging population.
The patient positioning systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising prevalence of obesity, increasing demand for minimally invasive procedure, expanding applications, emphasis on patient safety and comfort, increasing surgical procedures. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, regulatory compliance and standardization, rise in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), globalization and market expansion.
The anticipated increase in the number of surgeries is expected to drive the growth of the patient positioning systems market. Surgery involves invasive procedures that alter or repair the human body by cutting or destroying tissues. Patient positioning systems play a crucial role in various surgeries, such as orthopedics and cardiology, ensuring that patients are optimally positioned for procedures. For example, the American Joint Replacement Registry's 2022 Annual Report revealed a 14% increase in hip and knee arthroplasty cases in the US, reaching around 2.8 million in 2022 compared to 2021. Consequently, the growth in surgical procedures contributes to the expansion of the patient positioning systems market.
The growth of the patient positioning systems market is further fueled by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions requiring ongoing medical attention and management. Patient Positioning Systems enhance comfort and safety in managing chronic diseases by facilitating optimal patient positioning during medical procedures and prolonged treatments. According to the World Health Organization in September 2022, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases accounted for 74% of the 41 million global deaths annually. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes were among the leading causes. Additionally, a report from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2023 predicted a 99.5% increase in the number of people aged 50 and older with at least one chronic illness, rising from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million in 2050. Thus, the escalating number of chronic diseases is a driving force for the patient positioning systems market.
Major companies in the patient positioning systems market are concentrating on developing single-camera unit solutions to enhance accuracy, streamline workflow, and improve patient safety during medical procedures. A single-camera unit solution features a simplified setup where one camera captures all the necessary angles and perspectives, thereby reducing equipment complexity. For instance, in May 2023, BLI-BRAIN LAB INDIA, an India-based software company specializing in advanced technology solutions, launched ExacTrac Dynamic Surface. This innovative system employs a unique single-camera design that continuously tracks patients during treatment, ensuring their position is monitored without obstruction from the treatment gantry.
Leading companies in the patient positioning systems market are emphasizing the development of innovative transfer systems, incorporating unique designs such as skin-friendly foam pads to address challenges and improve safety in patient handling. Skin-friendly foam pads are gentle materials designed for direct skin contact without causing irritation. For instance, Sage Products LLC introduced the Multi-Position MATS Mobile Air Transfer System in March 2022. This system enhances safe patient handling in the operating room, preventing patient sliding during tilt procedures and ensuring nurse safety during lateral transfers. The design includes a skin-friendly foam pad, integrated arm wraps to reduce the risk of nerve damage, and a 2-phase inflation method for safer patient transfers.
In May 2024, Samsung Medison Co., Ltd., a South Korea-based manufacturer of diagnostic ultrasound systems, acquired Sonio SAS for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Samsung Medison's capabilities in the medical imaging sector, expand its product portfolio, and bolster its position in the global healthcare market. Sonio SAS is a France-based medical technology company that specializes in developing ultrasound solutions tailored specifically for obstetrics and gynecology.
