The medical equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.21 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of digital health solutions, rising demand for home-based medical equipment, expansion of AI-enabled diagnostic devices, growing focus on preventive healthcare, increasing investments in smart hospital technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of smart and connected medical devices, rising demand for diagnostic imaging equipment, growing use of minimally invasive surgical systems, expansion of remote patient monitoring devices, enhanced focus on equipment accuracy and reliability.
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive growth in the medical equipment market. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels and is often associated with the buildup of fatty substances in the arteries (atherosclerosis) and an increased risk of blood clots. Effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases require various medical equipment. For example, according to the British Heart Foundation, a UK-based charity, more than 7.6 million people in the UK - over 4 million men and more than 3.6 million women - were living with cardiovascular disease as of September 2025. Projections indicate that, driven by an aging population and improved survival rates, this number could increase by around 1 million by 2030 and approximately 2 million by 2040. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to fuel medical equipment market growth.
Companies in the medical equipment market are focusing on advanced solutions, such as nitinol implant systems, to enhance surgical precision, improve procedural efficiency, and provide robust fixation options for reconstructive procedures. Nitinol implant systems are made from a nickel-titanium alloy that offers strength, flexibility, and dynamic compression, enabling accurate bone fixation and better procedural outcomes. For instance, in September 2023, Medline UNITE, a US-based healthcare company, launched the REFLEX TETRA Nitinol Staples, featuring a four-leg design tailored for the MTP, first and lesser TMT, and TN joints. The system includes targeting guides for efficient placement of cannulated screws or two-legged staples through the inner legs of the staples. The REFLEX Foot Recon Nitinol Implant System provides FDA clearance for multiple joint-specific indications and includes staples, discs, joint preparation instruments, targeting guides, and related tools in a single comprehensive tray. This system maximizes intraoperative versatility and efficiency, supports dynamic fixation constructs, and enhances surgeon confidence and patient outcomes.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson, a US-based provider of pharmaceuticals, consumer health products, and medical technology, acquired Shockwave Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Johnson & Johnson’s position in the medical equipment market by adding Shockwave’s intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technology to its cardiovascular device portfolio and expanding into high-growth segments such as coronary and peripheral artery disease. Shockwave Medical is a US-based medical equipment company specializing in minimally invasive, catheter-based IVL devices for treating calcified arterial lesions.
