Middle East and Africa Medical Carts Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Improving healthcare facilities and infrastructure
Healthcare facilities, hospitals, clinics, outpatient care centers, specialized care centers, birthing centers, and psychiatric care centers are increasing in the Middle East and Africa due to rising cases of chronic diseases and infectious diseases with their requirement of hospital admissions and stays. The pandemic condition significantly increased the demand for medical carts, with Intensive Care Units (ICUs) for the treatment of patients. Many developing countries are taking various solutions and strategies to improve the healthcare facilities of their countries.
- Adoption of Electronic Medical RecordS (EMR) at hospitals
Many healthcare sectors are informed to mandatorily set EMRs in their hospitals or clinics to convert all medical charts into digital format, primarily incorporated in medical carts for easy access. Any hospital that doesn’t enable EMR will be considered to have data or record illegible and incomplete.
- Advanced medical carts application
The recently manufactured medical carts are incorporated with numerous IT solutions to enable easy medical storage and access. Most devices come with touch panels with slim designs for easy usage. They are lightweight with smooth wheels enabling easy mobility with significantly little pressure by nurses to prevent muscular pains. These touch panels can improve the quality of care and eliminate disastrous human consequences, which can cause an error in treatment dosage and supply. Many manufacturers are trying to innovate new advancements in their medical carts.
Opportunities
- surge in healthcare expenditure
The amount of money used by a country on its healthcare and its growth rate over time is inclined by a wide variety of economic and social factors, including the financing arrangements and structure of the health system organization. In particular, there is a strong association between the whole income level and how much the population of that country spends on health care.
Healthcare expenditure has increased across developed countries, and emerging economies as the disposable income of people are growing. Moreover, to accomplish the population requirements, the government bodies and healthcare organizations in different regions are taking the initiative by virtue of accelerating healthcare expenditure. The rise in healthcare expenditure helps healthcare organizations improve their facilities and equipment, including medical carts.
- Strategic initiatives by key market players
Strategic initiatives such as acquisition, partnership, contract agreement, and conference participation provide opportunities to flourish their customer base. Moreover, through such initiative strategies, both companies expand their reach through new geographic or industry markets, access to new products or services, or new types of customers. Both the market players open the door to additional or new resources such as technology and talent.
- Convenience of carts
The medical carts are helping the medical and surgical staff hustle-free with the convenient application. Many healthcare providers have shifted to medical carts with EMR systems to store medical data and maintain on-spot to have continuous vision over the treatment progress. These have helped healthcare providers eliminate the mountain of paper works of medical data. The burden has been reduced with one touch panel to store and access multiple data on EMR medical carts. In cases of emergency, these carts with EMR allow rapid search and visualization of records instantly.
- Emerging countries with developed hospitals
Developing countries such as India, China, and Argentina, among others, are improving the healthcare facilities in their countries. The rising cases of non-communicable chronic diseases, cardiac arrests, diabetes, and others demand high requirements for hospital facilities with rising hospital admission and treatments. The high disease rates in developing countries also enhance the opportunity for market players to distribute their products at a good pace. The root reason for their disease burden is the consequences of poverty, such as poor nutrition, air pollution, and unsanitary food habits and lifestyle. Hence, this rises the requirement for high facilitated hospitals in these developing countries.
Restraints/Challenges
- heavy workstation on wheels
Most medical carts used in hospitals or medical wards must be ergonomically designed to prevent weightage issues for any healthcare professional who uses them. Heavy workstation on wheels always takes a toll on nurses who push the cart.
- stringent regulatory framework
The use of medical carts with numerous specificity and advancements across hospitals is rapidly increasing, with the growth of the aged population and several carcinogenic diseases requiring long hospital stays and routine medical maintenance. At the same time, the players of the medical cart manufacturers in the market have to follow specific regulations to get approval from the upper authorities to launch the product in the market.
