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.
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.
The medical equipment maintenance market and services sector was initially dominated by OEMs. However, OEMs typically charge more than third-party vendors, and often take longer for maintenance, resulting in higher associated costs as well as downtime. This situation, especially given the backdrop of continuing austerity measures and the need for cost-curtailment in global healthcare systems, has led to the emergence of ISOs dedicated to solely providing maintenance services.
The market for private-sector organizations is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the medical equipment maintenance market during the forecast period.
On the basis of end user, the medical equipment maintenance market is segmented into public-sector organizations and private-sector organizations. In 2018, private-sector organizations are expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing number of public-private partnerships is expected to boost the demand for medical equipment maintenance services.
North America is expected to lead the medical equipment maintenance market in 2023
