Analysts’ Viewpoint on Medical Equipment Rental Market Scenario
Future trends of digitization are translating into value-grab opportunities for rented medical equipment providers post the COVID-19 pandemic period with an anticipated demand for electronic and digital equipment. Most rental medical equipment service providers do not reveal historical evidences of low rates, fair market value, insurance replacement cost, and added advantages, including post agreement services. Therefore, consumers remain unaware of the complete rental agreements and are unable to negotiate for a better pricing option. Hence, rented medical equipment providers should team-up with insurance companies that educate customers & medical practitioners about fair market value prices and insurance replacement costs. A shift in trend from procuring to renting of medical devices in the healthcare industry has become a prominent trend.
Companies in the global medical equipment rental market are increasing the manufacturing of personal & home care equipment, electronic & digital equipment, surgical equipment, and durable medical equipment, among others. Durable medical equipment is being publicized for long-term care needs, acute care, and emergency care & trauma based on the duration of their requirements and their standards.
The durable medical equipment segment accounted for a major revenue share of the global market in 2020 due to the high cost and increased demand for state-of-the-art systems. This trend is likely to continue due to the increase in geriatric population across the world.
The rising need for services of home healthcare, owing to diminished hospital stays during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is estimated to fuel growth of the global medical equipment rental market. Furthermore, the increasing number of disabled and geriatric patients is anticipated to generate the demand for rental devices in the forthcoming years.
Rising incidences of skeletal or brain disorders and muscular dystrophy are resulting in rise in the number of disabled population. The patients suffering from various chronic disorders opt for treatment at home in an effort to avoid long stays at hospitals. These patients could choose from a wide range of medical devices on rent in a bid to avoid long stays at hospital. This factor is likely to support the growth of the medical equipment rental market in the years to come.
The revenue share of durable medical equipment is likely to observe profitable growth during the forecast period, owing to its extensive use in the treatment and diagnosis of different types of disorders. The rising incidences of gynecological complications, neurological disorders, cancer, and cardiac disorders necessitate surgical interventions on many occasions. This leads to long-term recovery and care, which generates the demand for durable medical equipment. However, it has been found that few medical devices come with insurance coverage, which is likely to act against the expansion of the global medical equipment rental market over the assessment tenure.
On the other hand, smaller hospitals as well as individual patients enter much more expensive rental agreement than necessary due to the lack of awareness and proper knowledge associated with medical equipment rental & leasing. Hence, med-tech companies should work closely with governments & healthcare organizations to increase acceptance of medical equipment rental, which will encourage insurance companies to include it under reimbursement and will educate potential customers & medical practitioners about adequate rental prices.
Considering regional platform, both North America and Europe are likely to emerge as the most promising zones for the medical equipment rental market. The medical equipment rental market in Europe is estimated to witness substantial growth over the projection period. The region is expected to dominate the global market. Rising incidences of chronic diseases with development of the healthcare infrastructure is likely to boost the market in Europe.
North America is projected to emerge as another prominent region in the global medical equipment rental market. Driven by Canada and the U.S., the medical equipment rental market in the region is likely to observe growth on the back of rising preference for renting such equipment as opposed to buying. Asia Pacific is likely to be one of the most lucrative regions for the market. Increased disposable income together with rising expenditure for the development of healthcare infrastructure presents ample scope for growth of the medical equipment rental market in Asia Pacific.
