The global medical automation market was surpassed at USD 40.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to hit around USD 88.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2022 to 2030.
This is attributed to the rapid technological advancements in lab and pharmacy automation, as well as diagnostic and monitoring automation, which are generating global demand for healthcare automation. Increased government involvement is expected to drive the global healthcare automation market over the forecast period.
Healthcare automation provides cutting-edge solutions in hospital pharmacy automation, logistics and transport, and material handling applications. Healthcare automation is being invested in by labs and research facilities all around the world to simplify various processes and increase overall work productivity. This automation is helping research institutes leverage overall productivity in healthcare facilities, improve experimental data quality, and reduce lab process cycle times, as a result, increasing automation adoption by pharmacies, labs, and research centers is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Furthermore, the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses, as well as the increasing implementation of automated diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, are driving market expansion. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic illnesses are one of the main causes of death in the world, with cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory disorders accounting for roughly 60% of all fatalities. Furthermore, according to NCBI, by 2030, around 40.5% of the US population is expected to have one or more cardiovascular disorders, expanding the customer base for this industry.
Market players adopt strategies such as collaborations, launches, and mergers & acquisitions to strengthen their industry position. For instance, in June 2022, GE Healthcare collaborated with Medtronic to accelerate global access to personalized care by offering an advanced patient monitoring system on the CARESCAPE platform. This collaboration enabled GE Healthcare to advance patient care, improve decision-making, boost healthcare system efficiency, and link caregivers & their patients within an ecosystem
