Global Nurse Call Systems Market Size

Nurse Call Systems Market Analysis

The nurse call systems market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period of 2022-2027.

The nurse call system allows patients in healthcare settings to alert nurses and surrounding staff of their needs. This helped improve safety measures during the coronavirus pandemic through socially distanced communication. As per the article "Trends in nursing: 7 reasons why upgrading your existing nurse call system is a good idea" published in August 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the increasing number of patients, the workforce decreased due to burnout and exhaustion among hospital personnel, which caused nurses to leave the profession. Deployment of nurse call systems during the COVID-19 times helped in optimizing the work, reduced the amount of paperwork, and improved communication. Thus, due to the benefits of nurse call systems, their adoption increased during covid times and is expected to increase during the study period due to the increased automation in the hospital operation, thereby impacting the market studied.

The key factors propelling the growth of this market are the growing geriatric population with an increasing need for digital healthcare, a rise in the number of hospitals adopting nurse call systems, growing investments from the public and private sectors in digital healthcare systems, and technological advancement in nurse call systems.

According to the World Aging Population Report 2020 Highlights, people aged 65 years and above were recorded to be around 727 million globally in 2020, and the number is expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050. The rising geriatric population proportionately increases the number of hospital admissions, surgeries, and incidences of chronic diseases, which will increase the demand for nurse call systems, thus driving the market.

There is an increased demand for mobility of nurse call systems, which has increased competition among the major players to offer a higher level of integrated nurse call systems. For instance, in November 2021, Acurio Health's stated that a private pediatric and maternity facility, The George Centre in southwest Sydney (slated to open in mid-2023), will be equipped with nurse call solutions by health IT provider Rauland Australia. Thus, the increase in deployments of nurse call stations across the facilities will drive the market growth during the study period.

Furthermore, in January 2021, Austco received an AUD 1.3 million contract to update the Tacera Nurse Call platform installed at the 700-bed Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and the 400-bed Jurong Community Hospital (JCH). All beds will feature the Tacera solution and include integrations with JurongHealth's Code Blue Platform, which will deliver the fastest Code Blue rapid response of any hospital in Singapore. Thus, the rising investments to facilitate the advancements in the nurse call systems will also boost the market growth. Thus, owing to the above-mentioned factors, this studied market is expected to boost during the study period. However, the high costs associated with the implementation of nurse call systems and lack of awareness among staff for proper management and installation of nurse call systems will hinder the market growth.
