Market Overview
In previous years, revenues were primarily from equipment rentals; however the market is shifting to purchasing equipment due to reimbursement changes and hospitals closely monitoring costs. Manufacturers are faced with the ever-present challenge of distinguishing themselves in an overcrowded market.
Reimbursement changes, high bargaining power of customers and industry consolidation are revamping this market.
Reduction in reimbursement has slowed product usage for several categories such as overlays, shifting many consumers to mattress replacements. Growing demand for highly functional, less expensive products is creating a cost-driven market that compels manufacturers to lower prices. However, due to an aging population that is prone to developing pressure sores and an increasing number of obese patients requiring specialty beds and support surfaces are expected to sustain the market.
