Healthcare Facilities Management - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

The Healthcare Facilities Management Market size is estimated at USD 441.76 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 737.37 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.79% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic extensively widened the growth of the healthcare facilities market globally. With the rise in the number of COVID-19 patients, the increase in the number of diagnostics and treatments for COVID-19 was witnessed, resulting in the production of vast amounts of medical waste. According to the data published by WHO in February 2022, tonnes of extra medical waste from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic put tremendous strain on healthcare waste management systems worldwide. Moreover, to maintain sustainable healthcare facilities management systems even during the post-pandemic situation, the need for the market is expected to be on the rise, thereby boosting the growth of the studied market over the coming five years.

The healthcare facilities management market is predicted to witness rapid growth due to rising global healthcare expenditures, along with an increase in chronic diseases and medical tourism in emerging countries.

Healthcare has become one of the leading sectors, owing to the increasing number of patients and rising healthcare expenditure by the public and private players in healthcare systems. According to OECD Health Statistics released in July 2021, the preliminary healthcare spending estimates for a group of 16 countries suggested that per capita health expenditure increased by around 4.9% on average. Also, as per the data published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), in the United States, national healthcare spending is projected to grow at an average rate of 5.5% per year during 2018-2027, reaching nearly USD 6.0 trillion by 2027. Healthcare spending is projected to grow 0.8% faster than the GDP per year over 2018-2027. As a result, the healthcare share of GDP is expected to rise to 19.4% by 2027. Thus, there has been exceptional growth in healthcare expenditures that have led to the development of various facilities in hospitals or clinics for the well-being of patients. This factor is expected to augment the market's growth.

Also, the increase in chronic diseases is expected to contribute to the market's growth. For instance, per the data published by the European Cancer Information system in 2020, the estimated incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer is expected to reach 3,244,076 by 2040. The burden of cancer cases is expected to be the admission of many people in hospitals for long-term care, thus boosting the demand for catering, porterage, cleaning, and other associated services, thereby contributing to the market's growth.

Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to fuel the growth of the healthcare facilities management market over the forecast period. However, the gap between providers and payers and the lack of investment in facilities management in low-income countries are restraining the market's growth.

Healthcare Facility Management Market Trends

Waste Management Expected to Witness Growth in the Market

Healthcare establishments generate a considerable quantity of both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes daily. These wastes are caused due to the diagnosis and treatment of human and animal diseases. When inappropriately managed, these dangerous wastes may compromise patient care quality. These wastes may enhance environmental pollution and spread infectious diseases, including Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), hepatitis, tuberculosis, diphtheria, cholera, and many others.

As per the United Nations data published in February 2022, approximately 87,000 tonnes of personal protective equipment was procured between March 2020 and November 2021 and shipped through the UN. At the same time, over 8 billion vaccine doses have been administered, producing 144,000 tonnes of additional waste in the form of syringes, needles, and safety boxes. Such high medical wastage is expected to contribute to the demand for waste management systems, thereby contributing to the growth of the studied segment.

Additionally, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data in 2021, India generated nearly 164 tonnes of COVID-19-related bio-medical waste per day. These healthcare wastes may pose health risks indirectly by releasing pathogens and toxic pollutants into the environment. Thus, healthcare providers are on the verge of establishing and implementing programs to effectively manage healthcare waste, which is likely to contribute to the growth of the studied segment.

North America Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share

North America is anticipated to witness healthy growth in healthcare facilities management in the forecast period due to the robust healthcare infrastructure and the introduction of different technologies for healthcare facilities management.

The overall condition of the healthcare infrastructure also varies widely in the North American region. Also, the steep rise in the volume of hospitals and increasing hospital admissions drives higher demand for healthcare facilities management, thereby boosting the studied market growth. The American Hospital Association (AHA) statistics published in 2022 show that the total number of active hospitals in the United States is around 6,093. According to the PRB Aging in the United States, Americans aged 65 and older are projected to reach 95 million by 2060. The rising geriatric population and increasing chronic diseases across the region are augmenting the growth of the healthcare facilities management market in the forecast period.

Additionally, the rising healthcare expenditures in this region are expected to facilitate market growth. For instance, in the report published by CMS in 2021, on an average over 2021-30, National Health Expenditures and GDP are projected to grow 5.1% per year. High healthcare expenditures are expected to contribute to the market's growth over the forecast period.

Also, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to contribute to the demand for the healthcare facilities management market, thereby contributing to the market growth in this region. According to data published by the American Cancer Society, around 1.9 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2022. Such chronic disease prevalence leads to a rise in hospital admissions, ultimately driving the demand for better healthcare facilities in North America, thereby contributing to the market growth in this region.

Thus, the above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the growth of the studied market over the forecast period.
