MarketResearchReports.com: Pressure Relief Devices Market to Exceed $4 billion by 2019, Finds Latest Report
Lewes, Delaware (PRWEB) November 27, 2013 -- The growing prevalence of pressure ulcers will boost the pressure relief devices market, which is expected to increase from $2.9 billion in 2012 to $4.1 billion by 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.7%, reveals new report on medical devices industry.
According to the latest report, the increase in pressure ulcers will drive the demand for pressure-relieving devices, such as therapeutic support surfaces, mattresses and overlays. Previous research shows that more than 2.5 million Americans are expected to develop this condition every year.
The rising prevalence of obesity will also drive the pressure relief devices market growth. Obese patients are at increased risk of developing pressure ulcers, as they are required to stay in hospital for longer periods, and have slower wound-healing times.
According to the author of this report : “As pressure ulcers cause pain and increase the risk of skin infection, caregivers should focus on protecting patients from high-risk pressure sores using appropriate prevention strategies. These include pressure-relieving support surfaces, such as bariatric beds with multiple functionalities.”
However, the high costs and lack of reimbursement surrounding treatment for pressure ulcers could prove major restraints for future market growth.
Author continues: “Treatment is expensive due to long hospitalization periods, slow healing times, recurring wounds and an increased chance of infection. On top of this, the US Medicare does not provide reimbursement for the treatment of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.”
Leading global manufacturers are therefore focusing on emerging markets, such as India and China, in order to expand their customer base and sales.
This report looks at the market, competitive landscape, and trends for the four pressure relief devices market segments: mattress overlays, specialty beds (rentals), specialty beds (sales), and mattresses. It provides comprehensive information on the key trends affecting these segments, and key analytical content on the market dynamics. This report was built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research, and in-house analysis.

Alzheimer's Disease Therapeutics Market to 2019: As a result of Phase III therapy LMTX potentially entering the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) industry in the near future, the AD market will increase slightly from $3.6 billion in 2012 to $3.8 billion in 2019, the current AD market with the available products is in serious decline.
However, this could be offset by LMTX should it be approved, which is far from certain in a market characterized by one of the highest attrition rates across the industry. Such decline is due to the limited late-stage pipeline as well as the patent expiration of all current treatments.
