Medical Furniture Market Report 2025

The medical furniture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.69 billion in 2024 to $21.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of private hospital chains worldwide, the rise of medical tourism boosting demand for advanced healthcare infrastructure, increased investments in home healthcare setups, the growing global disease burden, and the aging population across the globe.

The medical furniture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.02 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing number of hospitals and clinics, expansion of ambulatory surgical centers, growth of long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, modernization of existing healthcare infrastructure, and the rise of specialty and super-specialty hospitals. Major trends during this period include the development of smart medical furniture with IoT integration, introduction of multi-acuity beds, use of antimicrobial materials in production, incorporation of automation and electric adjustment features in beds and chairs, and advancements in ergonomic design innovations.

The increasing rate of hospitalization is expected to drive growth in the medical furniture market in the coming years. Hospitalization involves admitting a patient to a hospital to receive medical care, often requiring one or more days of stay. The rise in hospitalization is largely driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, as more patients require ongoing and specialized care for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Medical furniture supports hospitalized patients by enhancing comfort and safety, with items like adjustable beds and ergonomic chairs helping patients rest and recover more effectively. For example, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency in Australia, hospital admissions across the country increased by 4.6% in 2022-23, with public hospitals recording a 4.3% rise and private hospitals a 5% increase compared to 2021-22. Consequently, the rising hospitalization rate is fueling growth in the medical furniture market.

Key players in the medical furniture market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as multi-acuity beds, to optimize hospital resources and provide care across different patient needs within a single bed setup. Multi-acuity beds are adaptable hospital beds that support patients across varying levels of care, allowing smooth transitions without requiring relocation to a different bed. For instance, in February 2025, Agiliti, a US-based provider of medical and surgical equipment, launched Essentia, a versatile multi-acuity bed frame designed to accommodate diverse patients in multiple hospital settings. It features safety innovations like the SlideRail, offering up to 39 inches of open space for patient entry and exit, with adjustable grips to support mobility and reduce caregiver effort. Illuminated SafeGlance indicators provide instant visual cues for brake engagement, bed height, and alarm settings. The bed’s 11.5-inch low deck height and RevTrend 20 tilt function support early mobility and weight-bearing exercises, helping reduce fall risks. Additional features include MotionStop 360 to prevent contact-related accidents, an automatic locking brake system, extendable bed length at the push of a button, and compatibility with a wide range of therapeutic surfaces.

In July 2024, Ocura, a UK-based healthcare furniture and equipment provider, acquired Carechair for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition highlights the value of partnering with an experienced and aligned buyer to manage the complexities of business transitions effectively. Such partnerships help maintain continuity, safeguarding the company’s core principles and heritage throughout the process. Carechair is a UK-based manufacturer of medical furniture.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
