The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive growth in the academic medical center market moving forward. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that develop gradually and often require ongoing medical care. This increase is partly due to sedentary lifestyles, where extended inactivity raises the risk of illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Academic medical centers support chronic disease management by providing integrated care, advanced diagnostics, and specialized treatment programs, making them well-suited for patients with complex health needs. They enhance patient outcomes by combining clinical expertise, research, and education, improving healthcare quality and efficiency. For example, in June 2024, the UK’s National Health Service reported 3,615,330 patients registered with general practitioners were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes in 2023, an 18% increase from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. As a result, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the academic medical center market.

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 sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
