Increasing Investment in Healthcare Sector Activity Coupled with Make in India Initiative has Stimulated Growth in India Hospital Furniture Industry: Ken Research

Increasing Tie-ups and Use of Technology: The hospital furniture manufacturers are actively partnering with big hospital chains and home healthcare companies to gain an edge over competitors.  Hospitals generally give weightage to vendors who are either existing partners or have history of providing products to major chains in India. Moreover, Indian manufacturers are rapidly investing in technology to provide patient friendly products as well as aiding the doctors in complex surgical procedures. They are continuously trying to match the global standards for manufacturing these products.

Government Initiatives Boosting the Sector: Government of India announced the creation of 150,000 Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) by transforming the existing Sub Centres and Primary Health Centres under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme. 100% FDI allowed under automatic route for Greenfield and Brownfield healthcare projects. Under the Union Budget 2019-20, the government has allocated ₹ 800 crore (USD 110.9 million) for the upgradation of state government medical colleges (PG seats) at the district hospitals and ₹ 1,361 cr (USD 188.6 mn) for government medical colleges (UG seats) and government health institutions. Over USD 200 billion (~ ₹ 15 lakh crores) is expected to be spent on medical infrastructure by 2024.

Challenges in Hospital Furniture Industry: The hospital furniture industry in India is highly unorganized owing to the absence of a regulatory body. There are numerous small furniture manufacturers selling products across the country without any authorization from the government. The country is also largely dependent on imports for OT Tables, OT Lights and parts due to lack of investment in technology by domestic players. The inverted tax duty structure favors import than domestic manufacturing as import duty on component/material is higher than finished product. There is a lack of infrastructure facilities like micron epoxy coating facilities for hospital furniture products which affects local manufacturers to capture the market.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Hospital Furniture Market: COVID-19 has adversely impacted the hospital furniture manufacturers in India. The furniture production facilities are either closed or their capacity has been temporarily redirected to items crucial to either treating or limiting the spread of COVID-19. More than 500,000 surgeries have been cancelled in India and only essential treatment is being availed in a hospital. Owing to this, the mid and small sized hospitals have put their expansion plans on hold, thus affecting the future hospital furniture demand. On a positive note, companies are now selling their products online, thereby saving on the distributor’s margin. Moreover, they are exploring new opportunities such as tying up with a home healthcare company to increase their revenue share.
