COVID-19 had a significant impact on the market, as well. There were increased volumes of discarded materials from health protection activities, medical diagnosis, treatment and scientific research during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the surge in demand for proper management of this medical waste gave way to a rise in need of healthcare facility management services, boosting market growth.  

The hospitals and clinics segment generated the major share of growth in 2021, holding nearly two-thirds of the global healthcare facility management market, and is projected to dominate throughout the forecast period. This growth is due to an increasing rise in the number of hospitals and clinics providing advanced healthcare services. The long-term care facilities segment, simultaneously, would cite the fastest CAGR of 9.1 percent by 2031. Growing sophistication of long-term care facilities and their massive expenditure on facility management services drive the segment growth.
