The medical automation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The medical automation market has grown rapidly in recent years. It is projected to increase from $55.22 billion in 2024 to $61.43 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 11.2%.
The growth is attributed to the ongoing digitization of the healthcare industry, pandemics and infectious diseases, patient empowerment, a shortage of healthcare workers, and an emphasis on preventive care.
The medical automation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The medical automation market is projected to grow rapidly to $92.78 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 10.9%.
The growth is driven by the demand for minimally invasive procedures, remote patient monitoring, hospital optimization, value-based care, and greater awareness of automation's benefits in healthcare. Trends include gene editing, medical imaging adoption, 3D printing, telemedicine, IoT integration, and AI advancements.
The prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel the medical automation market. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, are on the rise due to unhealthy lifestyles and aging populations. Medical automation plays a critical role in monitoring and managing these conditions, improving patient care and outcomes. In September 2022, the World Health Organization reported that chronic diseases accounted for 74% of global deaths, driving the need for more efficient healthcare solutions, thereby fueling the medical automation market.

Dominant players in the medical automation market are zeroing in on the production of ingenious solutions, for instance, clinician-managed mobile applications, as means of accelerating revenue growth. A clinician-managed mobile application is a software tool designed by healthcare practitioners like physicians, nurses, therapists, and other healthcare providers to simplify different aspects of patient care, including communication and management. For example, Augmedix Inc., a US-based company specializing in data services and medical documentation, introduced Augmedix Go in April 2024. This clinician-managed mobile app leverages ambient AI technology and structured data to formulate an entirely automated draft medical note following patient visits to healthcare environments like emergency departments. This automation process streamlines the medical documentation process, enabling healthcare professionals to dedicate more time to patient care by cutting down the time spent on administrative duties like note-taking.
