The NCS market in the US is anticipated to grow rapidly and will post a CAGR of more than 14% during the forecast period. The increasing trend of technological advancements in the development of new and improved nurse call system (NCS) will drive the growth prospects for the NCS market in the US until the end of 2020. The industry research report states that with the increasing technological advancements, analog systems have been replaced by digital equipment like wired systems and wireless systems.
Moreover, in this market, vendors are increasingly undertaking research and development activities to redesign and upgrade their NCSs and enhance its efficiency. The nurse call system with advanced features such as wireless messaging, enhanced patient-to-staff voice communication, assimilation with real-time locating systems, integration with electronic health records (EHR), and management reporting to optimize staff efficiency and workflow will increase its adoption among end-users in the coming years.
The increasing emphasis on improving healthcare communications is one of the major call system market key drivers that will drive the growth prospects for the NCS market in the US for the next four years. This market research information shows that administrative heads or nursing directors can access NCS data from their offices or remote computers with the introduction of integrated healthcare communications technology. Also, this technology will assist in functions such as assigning staffs to patients by supervisors, send text messages to the staff, review report data, and view patient call activities. Furthermore, since these systems provide remote access to NCS information, other departments that are not associated with NCS will also benefit from it. For instance, alerts or notifications can be immediately sent to the housekeeping department to assign beds that need cleaning.
As per the market opportunity analysis, the NCS market in the US is highly competitive and diversified due to the presence of a large number of tier 1, tier 2, and small companies. Also, to increase their market share and market size, these vendors are developing NCS with wired or integrated wireless technologies. Also, the vendors compete against each other based on factors such as aggressive pricing, product differentiation, capital support for product or technology upgrades, and distribution partnerships to augment their hold over the market.
As per the market segmentation, the integrated wireless NCS accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market in the forthcoming years. Some of the major factors responsible for the market segment’s growing popularity is the availability of GPS technology, portable pendants, smartphones, and pagers that keep the patients and caretakers connected all the time.
The ALFs segment is the fastest growing segment and will continue to grow for the next few years. One of the major factors responsible for its growth is its ability to install NCS to provide improved care, which, in turn, attracts more senior residents in its senior-assisted-living facilities.
