According to a Research and Markets report, the global healthcare equipment leasing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.77% from 2017 to 2021.

One trend in the market is the uberization of medical equipment finance, which has made the current era very beneficial for equipment leasing and financing industry. In recent years, the overall leasing industry has already crossed the $1 trillion mark and is projected to continue its growth. The upcoming trend of uberization will likely bloom due to three main factors, which in turn will drive the demand of the leasing equipment at a higher scale.

According to the report, one driver in the market is the inflated cost of healthcare equipment. Healthcare facilities generate revenue through various procedures such as medical imaging, home-care services, endoscopy, anesthesia, dialysis and other surgeries. Among the different segments of the global healthcare equipment leasing market, the diagnostic imaging equipment leasing segment accounts for the largest share. The high cost of medical equipment has shifted the preference of end-users toward leasing instead of buying new equipment. This way the high maintenance and installation cost is reduced.
