Europe Medical Equipment Maintenance Market

Europe Medical Equipment Maintenance Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the European medical equipment maintenance market is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 7.41% from 2023 to 2028 and worth USD 16.24 billion by 2028 from USD 11.36 billion in 2023.

The growth of the medical equipment maintenance market in the European region is expected to be driven by factors such as the prevalence of chronic diseases, advancement in medical technology, growing number of diagnostic imaging procedures, and the increasing need for high-quality healthcare services, which is estimated to drive the European medical equipment maintenance market during the forecast period. The maintenance process is also known to reduce center equipment by improving daily operations and device reliability. In addition, it allows healthcare providers to track and monitor their condition, ensuring efficient use and maximum uptime. The market has increased in growth with increased medical equipment such as CT scanners, MRI systems, ultrasound systems, nuclear imaging equipment, and mammography systems. As a result, there is a significant demand for associated maintenance services to avoid any possibility of equipment failure or shutdown.

The healthcare sector is increasingly facing strong cost pressures and economic fluctuations. As a result, the market also sees a growing demand for refurbished medical devices to reduce costs. According to COCIR, around 96% of medical companies in Europe are small and medium-sized, employing less than 255 people. In 2016, refurbished imaging equipment represented 76% of the global demand for refurbished medical devices. Hospitals are the primary end-users of medical equipment. The maintenance process helps many organizations manage their assets to keep expenses under control while ensuring the quality of healthcare delivery. As a result, companies focus on developing better and improved technologies to gain a competitive advantage with acquisitions and partnerships to maintain and enhance market sustainability, experience, and technological capabilities. Based on the above factors, the European medical equipment maintenance market is predicted to grow positively during the forecast period.

The growing prevalence of the chronic disease has increased diagnostic tests involving ultrasound imaging, CT scans, MRI scans, etc. European countries have seen steady growth in healthcare expenditure with more hospital visits. Government and private organizations aim to prevent various diseases by detecting them at an early stage by educating people and conducting healthcare camps.

However, factors such as strict regulatory policies, competitive market, and reimbursement policies are likely to hamper the market's growth during the forecast period. In addition, the cost of service is generally higher than the cost of the equipment, which makes purchasing and maintaining advanced medical equipment complicated, especially in small-mid-sized hospitals, especially in developing economies and rural areas.
