The smart hospital market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The intelligent hospital market has seen a remarkable expansion in recent years. It is projected to escalate from a worth of $58.58 billion in 2024 to $71.56 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.2%.
The surge during the historic period is linked to the increase in measures undertaken to ensure patient safety, the growing demand for consolidated healthcare solutions, the lack of an adequate workforce, initiatives aimed at digital transformation, and an increase in regulatory mandates.
The smart hospital market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the near future, we are likely to witness substantial expansion in the smart hospital market. It's anticipated to escalate to a whopping $157.37 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8%.
This predicted growth in the coming years can be accounted to several factors like emphasis on preventive care, need for instantaneous data, the spread of iomt devices, ballooning healthcare expenses, and the increasing aging population. Key trends to keep an eye on during this forecast period will be remote patient monitoring and telemedicine, the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence, the security of healthcare iot, wearable health technology, and the infrastructure of smart hospitals.
The smart hospital market is poised for growth, fueled by the rising adoption of internet-connected medical devices and tools in healthcare facilities. These connected devices and instruments, which capture a vast amount of data across various business and medical practices, are transforming hospitals into smart health centers by enhancing patient care, optimizing operations, and promoting data-based decision-making. For example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated its list of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) medical devices sold in the U.S. in October 2023 and added 171 devices to it. This indicates a significant rise from the previous year, with the count of AI/ML devices projected to increase by 30% or more. Thus, the escalating use of interconnected devices within healthcare facilities is one of the leading drivers behind the expansion of the smart hospital sector.

Key players in the smart hospitals industry are increasingly prioritizing strategic collaborations to advance smart hospital solutions. Such collaborations are alliances formed between two or more parties, usually businesses, with the common goal of mutual benefits. For instance, in March 2023, US-based health-tech start-up LifeSigns formed a strategic partnership with Amala Hospital, a provider of orthopedic treatments and therapeutic services based in India, for the introduction of a smart ward. This innovative ward incorporates LifeSigns' iMS technology, characterized by wearable wireless sensors that facilitate continuous patient monitoring, thereby eliminating traditional wired systems which increase patient comfort while enhancing data collection.
