The medical automation market size has rapid growth in recent years. It will grow from $49.92 billion in 2023 to $55.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors including the digitization of the healthcare industry, the impact of pandemics and infectious diseases, the empowerment of patients, shortages in healthcare workers, and an increased focus on preventive care.
The medical automation market size is expected to see grown rapidly in the next few years. It will grow to $83.76 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, remote patient monitoring solutions, optimization of hospital capacity, the transition towards value-based care models, and the growing recognition of the benefits of automation in healthcare. Major trends expected in this period include advancements in gene editing technologies, the widespread adoption of medical imaging techniques, the utilization of 3D printing in healthcare applications, the expansion of telemedicine services, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare systems, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of healthcare delivery.
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is poised to drive the growth of the medical automation market in the foreseeable future. Chronic diseases, which are long-term medical conditions that often worsen over time, are on the rise due to factors such as sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and an aging population. Medical automation plays a crucial role in enabling precise monitoring and timely interventions for chronic diseases, thereby optimizing patient care and outcomes. For example, a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in January 2023 projects a 99.5% increase in the number of individuals aged 50 and older with at least one chronic illness, from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million by 2050. Additionally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 Highlights in September 2022, chronic diseases contribute to 74% of all global deaths, totaling 41 million deaths annually. Thus, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver behind the growth of the medical automation market.
Leading companies in the medical automation market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as clinician-controlled mobile apps, to stimulate revenue growth. Clinician-controlled mobile apps are software applications designed by healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and therapists, to support various aspects of patient care, communication, and management. For instance, in April 2024, Augmedix Inc., a US-based company specializing in data services and medical documentation, introduced Augmedix Go. This clinician-controlled mobile app utilizes ambient AI technology and structured data to generate a fully automated draft medical note following patient visits to healthcare settings such as emergency departments. This automation streamlines the medical documentation process, allowing clinicians to dedicate more time to patient care by reducing administrative tasks such as note-taking.
In June 2022, Oracle Corporation, a US-based computer technology company, completed its acquisition of Cerner Corporation for $28 billion. This acquisition is expected to significantly bolster Oracle's presence in the healthcare market, leveraging Cerner's expertise to revolutionize healthcare delivery by providing enhanced information to medical professionals.
