The healthcare asset management market is expected to grow during the forecast period (2018–2023) at a CAGR ~18.2%.
Healthcare asset management uses applications such as Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) and plays an important role in optimization and effective use of medical devices, managing inventory and reducing human error. The growing concern for patient safety, need to increase the efficiency of available resources, and acceptance of advanced technology in the healthcare sector are expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, rising R&D spending and strategies applied by major players such as new product development are contributing to the growth of the market.
