Increasing medical casualties due to growing health problems such as heart attacks, breathing disorders coupled with other elderly related health conditions and rising incidences of trauma cases are the major factors driving the global portering chair market growth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 2.5 million people were hospitalized in the U.S. in 2014, due to accident injuries that indicated high risk of bone damage.

Furthermore, increasing number of obese patients is fuelling demand for portering chairs. According to the WHO report, in 2016, over 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight and of these over 650 million adults were obese. Obese patients are susceptible to afflictions such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and shortness of breath. Therefore, increasing number of obese patients has in turn propelled the need for medical support, bariatric treatment, and transport in hospitals.

However, stringent government regulations associated with portering chairs is a major factor restraining the portering chair market growth. In August 2018, The U.S. FDA, which regulates the medical devices sector, announced its plan to use ISO 13485 as the basis for its quality system legislation.

These chairs can be used by patients suffering from obesity, strokes, Parkinson's or those who lack full body strength.

According to the Bariatric Surgery Registry, in 2017, 28,308 patients of bariatric surgery were admitted to hospitals in Australia in comparison to 12,665 patients in 2016. Several bariatric patients, due to their size and difficulty with mobility, require assistance with numerous activities of daily living. Therefore, use of portering chair is expected to increase in healthcare facilities and hospitals to offer appropriate care to patients.

However, portering chairs have the potential to carry infection. Therefore, some hospitals and healthcare facilities are focused on features of portering chair that aid in cleaning and do not harbor traps for contamination.
