With increase in technological advancements in the health care sector, medical examination chairs have become an inseparable part of a health care setting. Examination chairs are developed in accordance with patients’ demands and the type of therapy. The examination chairs market is highly fragmented with numerous players attempting to develop efficient chairs in terms of ergonomics and quality. Examination chairs must be appropriate in terms of their functionality so as to ensure that they provide optimal comfort to the patient during examination by a health care professional, which is required for creating relaxed atmosphere in the health care facility.
Increased number of health care facilities such as hospitals and specialty clinics across the globe and introduction of electric, powered lifting, and reclining chairs by key manufacturers in the market are major factors expected to drive the global market for examination chairs during the forecast period. However, higher cost of examination chairs and high maintenance required for these chairs are likely to restrain the examination chairs market from 2017 to 2025.
The global Examination Chairs Market has been segmented based on application, operation, feature, and end-user. In terms of application, the examination chairs market has been classified into specialized chairs and general chairs. The specialized chairs segment has been sub-divided into gynecological chairs, dentistry chairs, ENT chairs, podiatry chairs, ophthalmic chairs, blood sampling chairs, and others. The dentistry examination chairs segment is projected to hold the maximum examination chairs market share by the end of 2017, which is attributable to the expanding base of patients requiring dental examinations. However, the gynecological chairs segment is anticipated to generate maximum revenue by 2025, owing to increasing investment by key players in the women’s health field and introduction of gynecological chairs with colored and soft pads by companies.
