Soaring Demand Drives Global Medical Automation Market Growth During the Forecast Period, 2020-2027

The Global Medical Automation Market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.0% and is anticipated to reach USD 42,284.6 million by 2023. Automation is defined as the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In recent years, technological advancements have been incorporated into the medical sector, which drives the growth of the medical automation market.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and others, growing pharmaceutical & biotechnology sector and increasing demand for robotic surgery and rising healthcare expenditure are the major drivers propelling market growth. However, the high cost of automation and risks associated with robotic surgery, followed by the necessity of physician training are expected to constrain the growth of the market.

Market Dynamics

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and others, along with the growing pharmaceutical & biotechnology sector and rising demand for robotic surgery are the major drivers propelling market growth. For instance, according to a report published by the National Cancer Institute in 2016, approximately 1,685,210 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the US. Moreover, rising healthcare expenditure is also projected to boost market growth. However, the high cost of automation and risks associated with robotic surgery, followed by the necessity of physician training are expected to constrain the growth of the market.

Segmentation

The global medical automation market has been segmented into type, and end user. By type, the market has been divided into diagnostics & monitoring automation, therapeutic automation, lab & pharmacy automation, and medical logistics & training. Diagnostic & monitoring automation is further segregated into automated imaging, point-of-care testing (POCT), and automated image analysis. Therapeutic automation is further bifurcated into non-surgical automation and surgical automation. Medical logistics & training is also classified as logistics automation and trainers. By end-user, the market has been categorized as hospitals & diagnostic centers, pharmacies, research labs & institutes, and others. The hospitals & diagnostic centers segment accounted for a market value of USD 8,554.7 million in 2016.

Key Players
