Industry Insights
Growth Drivers
The unexpected COVID-19 epidemic is the main factor behind the unexpected demand of the global isolation beds market. The dramatic changes occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as a consequence of which demand for isolation bed is significantly growing. World Health Organization (WHO) has encouraged all concerned manufacturers to urgently raise their output. According to a WHO estimate in March 2020, the number of patients suffering from corona virus reached 200,000 and expected to reach to 100,000 in about twelve days.

As COVID-19 is increasing on a larger scale, countries including China have reported that they are facing a lack of isolation beds because conventional bedding cannot fulfil the purpose. For instance, the Italian government has ordered in bulk of these beds for COVID-19 patients, as it was expected that by March 2020, more than 80 percent of the hospital beds would be acquired by the COVID-19 patients at Lombardy town of Italy.
COVID-19 patients, along with healthcare workers and people worldwide, are required to be provided as quickly as possible by personal protective equipment to deal with this global pandemic. In addition, the rapid production of isolation beds and protective equipment for healthcare workers is highly critical in order to overcome this condition, which leads significantly to the growth of the market.
Moreover, strong government actions also playing an important role in containing over-pricing of the COVID-19 treatment including isolation charges. In June 2020, the Government of India (GOI) has recommended to slash the cost by two-third in the private hospitals of Delhi. New applicable rates would be INR13,000 to 15,000/day and INR15,000 to 18,000/day for isolation bed without ventilator and with a ventilator respectively.

Beds by Type Outlook
Based upon type, the global isolation beds market is bifurcated into hydraulic, manual, electric, and pneumatic. In 2019, the manual segment accounted for the largest share among all. The high share is attributed to maximum use of manual ones across different end users. The other factor is the low cost of manual bed as compared to others, which makes it affordable to all the healthcare settings.
The smart isolated bed is in immense demand.

The growing need for intensive care units and expected government funding to fill the gap in existing healthcare infrastructure would supplement the segment’s growth.
End Use Outlook
Based on end use, the market is bifurcated into general & acute care hospitals, specialized hospitals, multi-specialty hospitals, and others. In 2019, the general and acute hospital segment accounted for the largest market share and it is expected to retain this domination till 2027. The number of general and acute hospitals is more as compared to others, so the penetration of these beds is high, thereby contributing to its highest share.
Regional Outlook
Geographically, owing to the tremendous amount of COVID-19 patients in the area, North America is the largest contributor to sales in the global isolation beds market. The region's demand for these beddings is 10 times greater than what's accessible in stock. Countries like Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK anticipated to have the highest number of cases. Also because of the inaccessibility of protective equipment, doctors are threatening to quit jobs in Europe.
As a consequence, respective governments projected to invest more than USD 265 million on personal protective, including isolation beds. With the continuous rise in the COVID-19 cases in North America the demand for the isolation bed is projected to rise in the short term.
