A Comparative Study of Medical Equipment Rental Market Worldwide

Rising health care expenditure and increasing demand for novel medical equipment have led to a surge in the medical equipment manufacturing industry. However, product pricing is affected by the demand-supply gap or increased raw material costs. In either case, procuring new equipment is seen as an expensive proposition for several medical institutions, especially those with funding restraints. Renting/leasing medical equipment has emerged as a boon or an alternative to equipment purchasing to these medical institutions, benefitting the end-users or patients indirectly. Home care products have seen a similar pattern with a majority of products being quite expensive for acute care patients, as the duration of the product requirement is too small to avail any benefits in the long run. The rental market, therefore, has seen a surge in recent times, with preference of the personal/home care patients for smaller devices and of medical institutions for larger equipment. The multi-billion dollar medical equipment rental market is expected to rise by a little less than half by the end of the decade and would remain dynamic for the next few years.
