Medical Equipment Maintenance Global Market Report 2024

The medical equipment maintenance market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $36.47 billion in 2023 to $40.92 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to heightened equipment complexity, an increase in healthcare spending, a focus on preventive maintenance, the emergence of specialized service providers, and growing concerns about quality and patient safety.

The medical equipment maintenance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $64.09 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The expected growth in the forecast period is fueled by several factors such as the integration of predictive analytics into healthcare practices, continuous training and skill development within the industry, the extended longevity of equipment, a strong emphasis on patient safety and providing quality care, and the increasing demand for specialized service providers. Key trends anticipated during this period include the expansion of telehealth services, a focus on environmental sustainability in healthcare practices, the outsourcing of maintenance services, a shift towards preventive maintenance strategies, and the adoption of remote monitoring solutions in healthcare facilities.

The growing demand for medical devices is playing a significant role in driving the expansion of the medical equipment maintenance market. Medical devices encompass a wide range of instruments, machines, and apparatus used in medical settings for purposes such as prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. The increasing demand for these devices has created a need for effective maintenance services to reduce dispatch costs, enhance patient satisfaction, ensure timely patient care, and minimize risks and fatalities during medical procedures. For example, according to a report by the International Trade Administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce, the total production of medical devices and equipment in India rose to $4,473 million in 2020, a notable increase from $2,390 million in 2019. This growth in demand for medical devices is expected to drive the growth of the medical equipment maintenance market in the future.

The increasing healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the medical equipment maintenance market in the future. Healthcare expenditure refers to the amount of money spent on healthcare-related activities such as private and public health insurance, health research, and public health initiatives. The rise in healthcare spending, coupled with the prevalence of diseases and the growing geriatric population, is increasing the demand for medical equipment maintenance services. As healthcare providers invest in advanced medical equipment, there is a corresponding increase in the need for maintenance services to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of these assets. For example, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information in November 2022, hospital spending grew by 3.7% in 2021 and is projected to accelerate by 5.6% in 2022. Therefore, the growing healthcare expenditure is a key driver behind the growth of the medical equipment maintenance market.
