(PharmaNewsWire.Com, November 03, 2020 ) The European Medical Equipment Maintenance Market is expected to reach USD 8.93 Billion by 2022 from USD 6.64 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributed to rising focus on preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance is gaining prominence as planned inspections and medical device maintenance help avoid adverse incidents and medical-device related accidents. Regular maintenance services provided by OEMs, ISOs, or in-house service technicians ensure safe, efficient, and long-lasting use of medical devices. The growing focus on implementing preventive maintenance strategies among healthcare organizations is expected to offer growth opportunities for service providers in the coming years.
