The global medical pendant market is expected to grow at a significant rate through 2028 driven by growing demand for ICU on account of increasing occurrences of chronic diseases.

Recently, leading companies have been investing in product advancements as well as overseas acquisitions that would help them grow their business in foreign countries. To cite an instance, in July 2020, Atlas Copco Group, the Swedish manufacturer of generators, gas equipment, and industrial tools, finalized the acquisition of MEDGAS-Technik GmbH, the leading German manufacturer of medical-technical systems. Through this move, Atlas Copco intended to extend its footprint in Europe and accelerate its commercial development with the integration of MEDGAS’ knowledge and product portfolio.

The medical pendant market has been bifurcated in terms of product, installation, application, end-use, and region. Based on product, the industry has been classified in terms of movable pendants and fixed pendants.

With respect to installation, the medical pendant market has been divided into wall mounted pendants, ceiling mounted pendants, and others. The ceiling mounted pendants sub-segment held approximately 85% market share in 2021 and is subjected to progress at an exponential rate between 2022 and 2028 owing to the multiple clinical benefits provided by ceiling mounted pendants.

Based on application, the market has been categorized in terms of surgery, endoscopy, intensive care unit (ICU), anesthesia, and others.

The hospital sub-segment is set to expand significantly to reach more than USD 443 million in revenue by 2028 attributed to increased hospital admissions, higher healthcare spending, and rising adoption of these devices in hospitals.

From the regional standpoint, in 2021, the Middle East & Africa medical pendant market gained a valuation of around USD 18 million. The MEA market is set to witness substantial growth over 2022-2028 supported by mounting product adoption in various nations across the region.
