Stainless Steel - The Material of Choice
Attributed to its high durability, and light-weight quotient, stainless steel will remain the highly preferred material. By the end of forecast period, stainless steel IV poles are likely to account for nearly 60% share of total sales. However, given consideration to high costs, and corrosion, IV poles made from stainless steel are likely to a slight decline in their demand growth in the near future. This is influencing market manufacturers to turn to other materials such as chrome plated steel for developing IV poles.
Europe Leads, Opportunities Hover Around East Asia
Upsurge in healthcare spending, as well as establishment of advanced hospital infrastructure to cater to the increasing patient pool would be critical in driving the adoption of IV poles in both, developed and developing regions. The market in Europe continues to attract huge investments from stakeholders and is likely to surpass revenues worth US$ 100 Mn by 2027. While North America’s market is also reflecting lucrative growth prospects, the developed regional market will lose its share to the market in East Asia in the opportune time.
Customization - Key to Gain Market Distinctness
Manufacturers should focus on customization of IV poles to better align with end-use requirements. While modifications in IV poles for intensive care units (ICU), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and urology wards are gradually making into the pipeline, customizations such as foldable IV poles for patients who are traveling, and IV poles that glow in dark are offering white spaces for market players.
How Growth will Unfold
By capturing a market share of over 60% throughout the projection period, hospitals are poised to remain the predominant end-users of IV poles. In 2018, IV poles worth of around US$ 140 Mn were used in hospitals, and rising patient footfall will spur the revenue growth in the end-use category. Constant increase in percentage of total surgical procedures taking place in ambulatory surgical centers (ASC), in the wake of quicker outcomes with lesser patients requiring hospitalization, has been driving notable attention from market players.
