Market Dynamics

The market is driven by the growing need for better asset management in hospitals. Growing pressure to manage their existing workforce better has compelled healthcare organizations across the globe to adopt effective asset management solutions and technologies. Most healthcare organizations spend a large portion of their budget on tracking hospital equipment. For example, it was reported that ~USD 6 million worth of state-owned hospital equipment was found to be missing in Louisiana State University (LSU) hospitals; newly purchased equipment from the hospital was also not properly tracked. Thus, waste of time searching for lost assets and poor asset management practices can lead to serious consequences.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Nursing Times, more than one-third of nurses spend at least an hour locating equipment during an average hospital shift. This not only impacts budgets but also compromises the quality of patient care provided.

The use of radiofrequency identification in the pharmaceutical industry has grown in recent years. The technology has emerged to become a systematic part of supply chain management in international pharmaceutical production and distribution. Drug counterfeiting is a significant threat to healthcare systems across the globe. Over the years, the number of new cases of drug counterfeiting has grown significantly. This can primarily be attributed to the Internet-based sales of pharmaceuticals. According to the Pharmaceutical Security Institute (PSI), in 2016, there was a 5% increase in the number of cases of pharmaceutical counterfeiting, theft, and diversion. In 2016, 3,147 cases were reported compared to 3,002 cases in 2015 and 2,177 cases in 2014. This factor is driving the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Efficient use of a wide range of information technology-based hospital asset management solutions in various tasks such as equipment tracking, automating maintenance, observing instrument utilization rates enables smooth adoption of business analytics intelligence software in healthcare centers. This, in turn, provides a substantial return on investment if compared to the cost of installation of these systems. This factor is driving the growth of the market in the forecast period.

However, the high cost associated with implementing the system and the availability of new technologies is expected to hamper the market growth.

With the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the world is set to witness a huge rise in hospital assets intake. The rise in the number of patients in the hospital for treatment and isolation has created an urgent demand for hospital assets such as ventilators, beds, respirators, real-time location system trackers, and essential medical equipment is rising. This factor will positively influence market growth in the forecast period.

Geographical Presentation

By region, the global hospital asset market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, and Africa. Among all of the regions, North America dominated the global hospital gowns market and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the market in the region is attributed to growing patient safety concerns, acceptance of healthcare asset management solutions in hospitals, increasing need to tackle drug counterfeiting, technologically advanced products, and key players in the region. This is stimulated by the increased adoption of RTLS technologies in patient tracking, asset tracking, and staff location. The majority of patient monitoring in North America is done using the RTLS based on the RFID-Wi-Fi combination.

Efficient use of a wide range of information technology-based hospital asset management solutions in various tasks such as equipment tracking, automating maintenance, observing instrument utilization rates enables smooth adoption of business analytics intelligence software in healthcare centers. This, in turn, provides a substantial return on investment if compared to the cost of installation of these systems in North America.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to have the third-largest share due to the increasing healthcare infrastructure development in this region, and raising awareness about patient safety and hygiene standards are some of the factors anticipated to drive the market. In July 2016, the King Hamad University Hospital in Bahrain installed nearly 1,200 asset tags to locate wheelchairs, ultrasound equipment, and IV pumps to improve operational efficiency and response time. An increase in hospital asset management solutions for instrument management is spurring the global hospital asset management market's growth.   

In February 2018, Sonitor Technologies partnership with Stanley Healthcare. With this partnership, Stanley Healthcare will integrate Sonitor Sense (a high definition ultrasound-based IPS system) into its existing AeroScout RTLS platform.
