Medical Equipment Maintenance Market - Innovation in Service Offerings and Use of IoT

Global Market Dynamics:

Driver: Rising focus on preventive medical equipment maintenance

The focus on preventive maintenance of medical equipment has grown in recent years, as healthcare institutions seek to enhance patient safety and care quality. This involves a carefully designed program where maintenance tasks are performed in a scheduled manner to avoid larger and costly repairs down the line. It also helps in reducing equipment downtime, which enhances day-to-day operations and improves device reliability.

The preventive maintenance approach is gaining prominence as planned inspections and medical device maintenance help avoid adverse incidents and medical device-related accidents. Regular maintenance services ensure safe, efficient, and long-lasting use of medical devices. The growing focus on implementing preventive maintenance strategies among healthcare organizations is expected to offer growth opportunities for service providers in the coming years.

Restraint: High initial cost and significant maintenance expenditure

Maintenance programs for medical devices enable healthcare providers to track and monitor their condition, and thereby ensure efficient utilization and maximum uptime. This is also essential, given the current focus on preventive maintenance and cost pressures, to control total expenditure against a background of austerity measures. Such programs include the deployment of asset management solutions which use advanced technologies.

However, the deployment of these solutions incurs high initial installation costs and significant maintenance expenditure, while the installation of advanced medical equipment incurs a service contract cost (~12% of the cost of medical equipment) to be paid per year. The service cost thus paid during the lifespan of the equipment is usually more than the cost of the equipment. The high cost associated with the purchase and maintenance of advanced medical equipment is restraining end users from adopting them. This stifles the demand for associated maintenance services and thereby restrains market growth.

North America to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.

North America is expected to hold the largest market size in medical equipment repair market during the forecast period, followed by the European region. Factors such as the growing aging population and rising incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, access to quality healthcare, well-established healthcare infrastructure, high adoption of advanced technology, and the presence of prominent players are driving the North American medical devices industry in this region.

This will significantly boost the growth of the market for associated maintenance services in the region. Additionally, the availability of funding to purchase advanced medical technologies—through investments and similar initiatives—for hospitals and healthcare providers is also expected to aid market growth.

Asia is the third-largest market for medical equipment repair market and is slated to register the highest CAGR of during the forecast period. Factors contributing to this growth include increasing patient population, rising awareness on the benefits of early disease diagnosis, increasing public and private funding for the development of healthcare facilities, government initiatives for the modernization of healthcare infrastructure & provision of quality care, and the growing medical tourism in Asian countries.
