Selbyville, DE -- (SBWire) -- 02/18/2019 --The global patient handling equipment market size is estimated to witness substantial growth in the upcoming years attributed to the increasing geriatric population around the world coupled with the implementation of safe patient handling initiatives. According to the 2018 Ageing Report, the fiscal costs associated with pensions and healthcare are expected to increase globally, especially across in Europe as the region's geriatric population continues to grow significantly.

The old-age dependency ratio in the EU is anticipated to surge by 21.6 % points, from 29.6 percent in 2016 to 51.2 percent in 2070, the report claims.

Presently, 11 states in the U.S. are practicing safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) laws or regulations namely Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri, Maryland, Washington, California, and New York. Implementation of SPHM laws in these states will soon prompt all 50 states to make patient care safer. The benefits experienced by hospitals in these states include reduced worker compensation, high patient satisfaction scores, and happier staff & patients. It is believed that the same could be experienced by homecare agencies and companies that implement SPHM programs. The implementation of SPHM laws is thus set to drive patient handling equipment market in the forthcoming years.
