Medical Equipment Repair & Maintenance Services in the US industry analysis

The aging of the population and expanding insurance coverage have bolstered healthcare utilization over the past five years. This growing demand has increased wear and tear on medical equipment, elevating the need for frequent maintenance and repair. Elevated operating costs are pushing healthcare providers to become more cost-conscious, increasingly outsourcing maintenance to independent repair technicians to manage expenses. High interest rates are preventing healthcare providers from investing in new, more reliable medical equipment, keeping them reliant on repair and maintenance services to keep their older models up and running smoothly. Revenue has been swelling at a CAGR of 0.9% to an estimated $11.2 billion over the five years through 2024, including an expected rise of 2.7% in 2024 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • Right-to-repair acts could remove barriers set by OEMs. Potential legislation would grant independent equipment repair providers access to the same tools, parts and knowledge as manufacturers, transforming the competitive environment.
  • Hospitals rely on complex, sophisticated medical equipment more than any other healthcare provider. Outsourcing repairs allows hospitals to maintain their inventory, reduce downtime and ensure compliance.
  • The Southeast has the most medical equipment repair providers in the US. The region’s access to healthcare providers, employee pools and medical device manufacturers attracts companies to the area.
  • Medical device original equipment manufacturers limit independent repair technicians. Medical device repair companies struggle to build market share against OEMs who can control access to tech, software and necessary parts.
