Global Mobile Clinics Market Size

Mobile Clinics Market Analysis

The mobile clinics market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 20% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a serious health condition since it started in the year 2020. It has affected the healthcare system in several ways. Some markets were badly impacted and scattered, while some of the markets benefitted from the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a relatively positive impact on the overall market. In a bid to avoid the spread of infection further and protect front-line workers and patients, mobile clinics have emerged as saviors. Mobile clinics as solutions are flexible, and their adaptability makes them ideal for responding to pandemics, such as COVID-19. The demand for these mobile clinics increased during the pandemic. While people feared attending in-person visits and long queues in hospitals and clinics, they opted out for mobile clinics to avoid the COVID-19 infection. Therefore, Covid-19 is expected to positively impact the studied market.

Furthermore, an article published in May 2020 titled," Mobile health clinic model in the COVID-19 pandemic: Lessons Learned and Opportunities for Policy Changes and Innovation" mentioned that mobile clinics provide access to healthcare, especially for isolated individuals or communities, and they offer flexibility in the setting of a damaged or inadequate healthcare infrastructure. Also, as a community-based service delivery model, mobile clinics provide care by reaching out to the social-economically underserved populations in both urban and rural areas. Hence, owing to the flexibility and ability to overcome social barriers, the demand for mobile clinics is increasing. This is expected to grow over the forecast period driving the growth of the market globally.

The increasing healthcare expenditure and government activities to provide better care along with strategic steps taken are anticipated to grow the demand for mobile clinics. For instance, in March 2022, China donated four mobile clinics to Sierra Leone to support the country's 'Health-on-Wheels' project at York Village in the Western Rural District.

Additionally, in a press release published in March 2022 by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), it is mentioned that the mobile clinics supported by the Iraqi Red Crescent Society(IRCS), the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Danish Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are all equipped with teams of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, medicines and complete medical supplies, also a team of paramedics and volunteers to facilitate their work. These mobile clinics provided care to more than 73,000 people, while the number of beneficiaries of medical services extended to more than 91,000 people in 2021. These increasing government activities are expected to drive the growth of the studied market over the forecast period.

In addition, the constantly rising incidence of chronic diseases is anticipated to boost the growth of the global mobile clinics market. Manufacturers are curiously making their effort to develop advanced mobile clinics which can provide access to almost all healthcare needs. This is one of the developmental factors fueling the growth of the mobile clinics market. Moreover, the increasing number of emergency cases has also helped the growth of the studied market and is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.
