The medical equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $709.55 billion in 2023 to $775.42 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased healthcare expenditure, strong economic growth in emerging markets, growth in the number of healthcare facilities and an increased number of surgical procedures.
The medical equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1,077.6 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid growth in the elderly population, an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and government support. Major trends in the forecast period include developing new technological solutions, focusing on expansion of medical equipment manufacturing facilities, focusing on expansion of medical equipment manufacturing facilities, focusing on partnerships and collaborations, focusing on cardiovascular devices manufacturing and focusing on hybrid imaging technologies.
Surge In Cardiovascular Disease Prevalence Drives Growth In The Medical Equipment Market
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive medical equipment market growth. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a broad term that refers to a condition that affects the heart or blood vessels. It is often linked with the accumulation of fatty substances within the arteries (atherosclerosis) and an elevated risk of blood clots. Cardiovascular diseases require the use of various medical equipment for their prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, heart disease was responsible for the deaths of about 695,000 people in the United States in 2021, which is equivalent to 1 in every 5 deaths. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases will fuel the growth of the medical equipment market going forward.
Changing Disease Landscape And Its Impact On Medical Equipment Demand
The rise in sedentary jobs, busy lifestyles, and changing consumer preferences are affecting the disease profile of the world population, especially non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Long working hours, less physical activity, and unhealthy eating and drinking habits are major causes of chronic diseases such as diabetes. This is increasing the demand for medical devices used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of several diseases, thereby driving the demand for medical equipment. For instance, in January 2023, according to a report published by the National Library of Medicine, a US-based agency, the number of individuals aged 50 years and older with one or more chronic illnesses is projected to rise by 99.5%, reaching 142.66 million by 2050, up from 71.522 million in 2020 in the United States. These factors are expected to increase the patient pool globally, thereby driving the market during the forecast period.

Impact Of Regulatory Changes On The Medical Equipment Market: Increased Costs And Delays In New Product Development
Regulatory changes are expected to lead to increased costs relating to new product development and service offerings to clients. These changes are related to customer data protection, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), changes to equipment approval procedures, and other regulatory changes. For instance, according to cookie data 2021, in the US, PwC reported that 68% of 200 businesses surveyed intended to spend between $1 million and $10 million to comply with GDPR regulations. The GDPR regulation is an EU law on data protection and privacy for individuals residing in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also regulates the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. Additionally, the FDA is requesting more clinical data to support claims, therefore increasing the time to process 510(k)s by over 55% over the last decade. The potential loss of revenue due to delays in product release and additional costs incurred due to stringent approval processes puts a strain on investments relating to new product development, thereby affecting the growth of the medical equipment market.
Innovative Easyfuse Dynamic Compression System For Enhanced Foot And Ankle Surgical Applications
Major companies operating in the medical equipment market are innovating new products, such as the EasyFuse Dynamic Compression System, to increase their profitability in the market. EasyFuse Dynamic Compression System is a comprehensive super-elastic nitinol staple system designed to provide fast and easy fixation in high-demand applications of the foot and ankle. For instance, in May 2022, Stryker Corporation, a US-based medical technology company, launched the EasyFuse Dynamic Compression System. The system is engineered to simplify surgical procedures, offer robust dynamic-compression implants, and minimize surgical waste. The EasyFuse system incorporates an exceptionally broad staple bridge intended to evenly distribute forces and ensure consistent implant strength.
Enhancing Patient Care Through Integration Of Medical Device Data With EMR And Wearable Technologies
Device performance and patient data are available to healthcare service providers and are helping them to improve patient monitoring and overall care quality. Some companies are integrating medical device data with EMR (Electronic Medical Records) to improve transparency and collaboration. As consumer wearables are becoming more common, patient data volumes are increasing, and companies are investing in deploying data management, warehousing, and security technologies. For instance, Medtronic Plc, a US-based medical device company, launched a tool to augment their cardiac devices to securely transfer device data to doctors and allow them to monitor the critical health indicators of their patients.
