Pre-Owned Medical Equipment Market Global Report 2026

The pre-owned medical equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.78 billion in 2025 to $5.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising healthcare infrastructure investments, increasing demand for affordable medical equipment, growing replacement of obsolete healthcare systems, expanding access to healthcare facilities, increasing focus on reducing healthcare capital expenditure.

The pre-owned medical equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.2 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of circular economy practices in healthcare, increasing demand from emerging healthcare markets, rising investments in refurbishment and testing facilities, expanding private healthcare infrastructure, increasing acceptance of certified pre owned medical equipment. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for cost-effective medical equipment procurement, increasing adoption of certified refurbished medical devices, rising focus on medical equipment life cycle extension, expansion of quality assurance and equipment recalibration services, growing preference for affordable healthcare infrastructure solutions.

The increasing need for affordable healthcare infrastructure is projected to support the growth of the pre-owned medical equipment market in the future. Affordable healthcare infrastructure refers to healthcare facilities, medical equipment, and systems that provide high-quality healthcare services while reducing capital and operational expenses through efficient resource management. The need for affordable healthcare infrastructure is increasing due to escalating healthcare costs and financial limitations experienced by hospitals and clinics. Pre-owned medical equipment allows healthcare providers to expand, upgrade, or establish facilities at significantly reduced capital investments while ensuring access to dependable medical technologies. For example, in April 2026, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government agency, total healthcare expenditure in the UK increased from $410 billion (£320 billion) in 2024 to around $442 billion (£345 billion) in 2025, reflecting a 7.7% nominal rise. Therefore, the increasing need for affordable healthcare infrastructure is supporting the growth of the pre-owned medical equipment market.

Leading companies operating in the pre-owned medical equipment market are focusing on strategic investments in OEM-certified refurbishment facilities to increase refurbishment capacity, expand the availability of high-quality pre-owned medical equipment, improve affordability for healthcare providers, and strengthen circular healthcare solutions. OEM-certified refurbishment facilities are specialized centers operated or authorized by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) where previously used medical equipment undergoes inspection, repair, recalibration, testing, and certification to meet original performance, quality, and safety standards before being resold. For example, in April 2024, GE HealthCare, a US-based medical technology company, launched its A1-Sure Refurbishing Unit for ultrasound systems in Bangladesh. The facility conducts 259 quality inspection and refurbishment processes, provides OEM-certified refurbished ultrasound systems supported by a one-year warranty, and offers financing solutions to improve affordability for hospitals and diagnostic centers, expanding access to reliable diagnostic imaging while supporting equipment lifecycle extension.

In October 2024, Surplus Solutions, a US-based company providing equipment lifecycle management services, surplus asset solutions, laboratory equipment resale, and refurbishment services, acquired FAMECO Group ApS for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Surplus Solutions sought to expand its global footprint in the pre-owned medical equipment industry by enhancing refurbishment capabilities, broadening international distribution networks, and improving access to certified refurbished laboratory and medical equipment across Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. FAMECO Group ApS is a France-based provider of refurbished laboratory and medical equipment, specializing in the sourcing, restoration, validation, and resale of sophisticated analytical and clinical medical systems.
