Valued at USD 2.42 billion in 2020, the electric bed market is projected to reach USD 4.12 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period 2021–2028. North America was the largest regional contributor. Key players include Arjo, Stryker, Hill-Rom Services Inc., Medline Industries Inc., LINET, Invacare Corporation, Paramount Bed company, Gendron Inc., Malvestio Spa, and Midmark India Pvt. Ltd.

Aging Demographics Stimulating Electric Bed Market Growth

The global geriatric population is a primary growth driver. Older adults have lower immunity and are more prone to cardiac problems, skeletal injuries, neurological diseases, and spinal disorders, all of which stimulate adoption of electric beds. The report cites World Health Organization estimates that around 1.5 billion people will be aged 65 or older by 2050, and notes that the geriatric population is highly susceptible to heart attacks, obesity, stroke, and arthritis. Patients with such conditions require electric beds for comfort and ease of treatment. Several conditions require extra care, such as comfort with improved blood circulation, and the recent COVID-19 outbreak together with the rising geriatric population has increased patient admissions.

Patient Volumes and Surgical Activity

Rising hospital admissions from road traffic injuries, infectious disease, and other disorders are a second driver, and the recent COVID-19 outbreak increased patient admissions further. The rising number of surgeries also supports the market. According to estimates from Molnlycke Health Care AB, around 70 million surgeries are performed each year in Europe, and the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project estimated more than 9,942,000 surgeries in U.S. ambulatory care settings in 2015. Surgical procedures require electric beds across healthcare facilities, so growth in surgeries and hospital admissions feeds directly into demand.

Electric Bed Market by End Use

End-use segmentation covers hospitals and clinics, reproductive care centers, dentistry, and others. Hospitals and clinics accounted for the largest share in 2020, as rising chronic wounds, hospital admissions, and surgeries contribute to growth. Reproductive care centers are projected to register lucrative growth over the assessment period, because the comfort and convenience offered by electric beds help patients during delivery.

Care Continuum and Product Innovation

Product developments increasingly target extended care settings. In January 2024, Joerns Healthcare launched upgraded EasyCare and UltraCare beds developed to better support patients across the long-term care continuum. In May 2025, EzLift Bed introduced adjustable beds with lift and recline functions to enhance mobility, safety, and independence for seniors, particularly those with limited physical capabilities. The report also notes that demand for home and long-term care among older adults supports the general bed segment.

Regional Outlook

North America is the largest contributor to global sales, owing to rising surgical procedures and hospital admissions, and to technological innovation by market players. The recent COVID-19 surge also boosted demand. The report notes that governments were projected to invest more than USD 265 million in personal protective equipment, including isolation beds, and that demand for isolation beds was projected to rise in the short term as cases continued to climb.

Asia Pacific is projected to register lucrative growth, supported by increasing medical infrastructure, rising disposable income, large populations in India, Japan, and China, and the emergence of privately operated hospital chains in South Asia. Product recalls are listed among the market's restraints. Geographic coverage spans North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Product Mix and Competitive Insight

By product, semi-automatic beds held the largest share in 2020, while fully automatic beds are projected to register lucrative growth. The competitive landscape comprises Arjo, Medline Industries Inc., Hill-Rom Services Inc., Paramount Bed company, Gendron Inc., Stryker, Malvestio Spa, Invacare Corporation, LINET, and Midmark India Pvt. Ltd. In November 2023, Xiaomi, in partnership with 8H, unveiled the 8H Find Smart Electric Bed in China, featuring a frameless design and eight customizable comfort modes.
