Wireless Healthcare Asset Management Market Size

Wireless Healthcare Asset Management Market Analysis

The Wireless Healthcare Asset Management Market size is estimated at USD 41.83 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 124.87 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 24.45% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The implementation of wireless healthcare asset management systems has been growing owing to the advent of trends, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), digitization, and automation of various processes. These advanced technologies help reduce the loss of expensive hospital equipment, leading to high capital losses.

• The employment of individual staff necessary for monitoring and keeping track of the equipment can also be avoided, which could prove an extra expense for the hospital. Implementing such technology increases the visibility of devices, reducing the time spent sorting and organizing equipment to avoid wasting time.
• A real-time asset monitoring solution allows the ability to control frequently changing situations and see across the hospital organizations to understand the workflow. From maintenance to procurement and even managing the database of a single software, each IT hardware equipment introduces incalculable vulnerabilities. Multiplying these risks by thousands and millions of servers, computers, sensitive equipment, and other storage devices, the magnitude of probabilities for security breaches, auditing mistakes, mismanagements, and human resources, among other critical resource diversions, inflates exponentially.
• Continuous and uninterrupted functioning of the healthcare equipment is pivotal to efficient patient treatment and care. As such, this equipment must be monitored occasionally and serviced/replaced accordingly. Using wireless asset management solutions helps hospital owners track the equipment's health and service requirements. This allows the hospitals to reduce operating costs and maintain efficient patient care.
• Previously, hospitals were reluctant to implement wireless technology for asset tracking, fearing that the signals might interfere with the medical equipment, thereby hampering the treatment and patients' health. However, over the years, companies have developed products that operate on different frequencies and do not interfere with the existing hospitals' equipment and machinery. As such, the demand \for such wireless devices for asset tracking is increasing as the end-users adopt the technology.
• The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed technological adoption in the healthcare industry. The need for efficient and continuous patient care, along with safeguarding the hospital staff, was a critical factor in the technological shift in the healthcare industry. Wireless tracking of assets in clinics and hospitals reduces human movement across the premises. Also, as it gets easier to locate the asset without the need for interaction among the staff members, the benefits of wireless asset management have primarily been recognized by the stakeholders in the healthcare industry. Therefore, the demand for such wireless technologies is witnessing significant growth and is anticipated to grow over the forecast period.
