The global medical physics market is expected to reach a value of USD 5.3 billion in 2024. With steady growth forecasted over the next decade, the market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.4%, reaching a total valuation of USD 10 billion by 2034.
The increasing demand for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in healthcare, along with rising awareness about medical physics as a critical field for improving patient care, is driving market growth. Continuous advancements in radiology, oncology, and nuclear medicine are further propelling the demand for medical physicists and cutting-edge equipment.
Medical physics plays a crucial role in healthcare, encompassing the application of physics principles in medicine, particularly in the fields of radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging, and radiation safety. The increasing demand for advanced medical technologies and the growing emphasis on patient safety are key drivers of market growth.
The growth of the medical physics market is driven by increasing demand for advanced imaging technologies, improvements in radiation therapy, and a rising focus on patient safety and precision medicine. These advancements underscore the critical role of medical physics in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy.
However, the report also highlights that the insufficient availability of skilled workers and relatively poor healthcare infrastructure for medical physicist trainings in developing regional markets will continue to restrict penetration of medical physics in the long run.
The ‘Outsourcing’ Trend Is Creating Firm Base for Merger & Acquisition Strategies
With the consolidation of hospitals, there is an increasing need for larger firms in the medical physics market, with an intent to handle the outsourced services so as to contract with fewer services providers. The medical physics market is characterised by the presence of small independent companies, and there is a negligible number of large-scale operators. According to the report, this presents opportunities for private equity firms to enter the middle-market platform and scale-up their medium-scale operations to large-scale operations through the acquisition of smaller firms.
Other factors driving mergers and acquisitions in the medical physics market include increasing stringent regulations and an increasing number of owners looking to exit the medical physics business. Increasing stringent regulations have resulted in the inspection of a larger number of machines and associated elements. Several healthcare systems are incurring higher risks due to the increasingly stringent regulations. This opens opportunities for medical physics companies to ensure compliance and reduce operation cost by outsourcing. Furthermore, most of the medical physics firms are owned and operated by baby boomers who are about to retire from their medical physics business. For a majority of those medical physics service providers who are retiring, selling their business has been considered to be the most preferred option.
Some of the other trends in the medical physics market include increased outsourcing by healthcare providers, increasing number of independent diagnostic imaging centres, and advancements & adoption of technology across the world.
