U.S. Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Equipment Market Growth Factors


Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Disease to Spur the Equipment Demand across the Country


Some chronic diseases are more prevalent in the U.S., especially respiratory diseases and their prevalence is on the rise due to various factors. Some of the key factors contributing to the rising disease burden are smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. The level of critical care required depends on the severity of these respiratory diseases, with acute respiratory failure often requiring admission to the intensive care unit.


This surge in critical care admissions is driving the demand for equipment needed for delivering required care in these units. The patient population suffering from other chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurological diseases, has led to an increase in patient admissions to critical care units, which is projected to drive market growth.



  • According to an article published by the Frontiers in December 2021, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) affects approximately 190,600 patients per year in the U.S., with mortality up to 45%. Despite improvements in intensive care over the last fifteen years, ARDS remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in intensive care.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost Associated with the Equipment to Limit Market Growth


The growth of the critical care equipment market may be hampered by several factors, one of which is the high cost of the equipment. The cost for per-patient admission rates in critical care units increases, including general medical support services provided to the patient through monitoring devices, critical care nursing, and intensivist charges. These equipment costs are calculated by the purchase price of the equipment along with its annual comprehensive maintenance contract (ACMC) charges. Another major obstacle to market growth is the preference of many healthcare providers to purchase refurbished equipment.



  • As per an article published by Heartland Medical Sales & Services, as a consequence of the pandemic, the price of mechanical ventilators increased from an average of USD 25,000 to upwards of USD 50,000. This increase in equipment cost contributed to an overall increase in medical charges, which led to an increase in the economic burden for availing supportive care.


In order to reduce overall costs, some small and mid-sized facilities have been preferring refurbished equipment, which is limiting the demand for new equipment. This is subsequently hampering the U.S. intensive care unit (ICU) equipment market growth during the forecast period.
