Healthcare equipment leasing offers medical facilities a financial option to rent equipment rather than buy it outright. This approach allows hospitals, clinics, and other providers in the healthcare sector to access the latest technology without the substantial initial expenses. Leasing provides flexibility, enabling facilities to upgrade to newer models as technology advances, while also helping to manage cash flow and preserve capital for other essential expenditures.
The primary categories of healthcare equipment leasing include personal and homecare equipment, digital and electronic devices, surgical and therapy equipment, durable medical equipment (DME), storage and transport equipment, among others. Personal and homecare equipment refers to devices leased for personal use at home, primarily for medical purposes. Financing options for these devices vary, including new equipment purchases, rentals, refurbished items, and other options tailored for different end-users such as ambulatory surgical services, hospitals, home care settings, and diagnostic centers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

This healthcare equipment leasing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The healthcare equipment leasing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $59.58 billion in 2024 to $65.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased focus on supply chain efficiency, rise in personalized medicine, growth in veterinary healthcare, rise in demand for rehabilitation equipment, and rise in outpatient services.
The healthcare equipment leasing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $92.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising number of hospitals and clinics, rising companies for medical equipment lease, increasing demand for advanced medical equipment, increasing costs of medical equipment, and growing healthcare infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include sustainability, telehealth and remote monitoring, data security and integration, equipment utilization optimization, adoption of value-based care models, and specialized equipment leasing.
The forecast of 9.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may pose a significant challenge for U.S. providers by restricting access to affordable leasing programs for MRI machines and surgical robots imported from Switzerland and South Korea, potentially delaying equipment upgrades and increasing capital expenditure burdens. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing number of hospitals is expected to drive the expansion of the healthcare equipment leasing market in the future. Hospitals are healthcare facilities that provide medical treatment and care to patients. Several factors, including demographic changes, an increase in chronic diseases, population growth, heightened health awareness, and expanded health insurance coverage, are contributing to the rising need for hospitals. Hospitals create a demand for healthcare equipment leasing due to the ongoing need for advanced medical technology. For example, in May 2022, the American Hospital Association, a US-based professional organization, reported that there were 6,120 hospitals in the United States in 2022. This number includes both public and private healthcare facilities across the country. Therefore, the increasing number of hospitals and clinics is fueling the growth of the healthcare equipment leasing market.
Leading companies in the healthcare equipment leasing market are offering flexible financing options to support healthcare providers in acquiring advanced equipment.
