Overview

Medical Equipment Services & Repair covers companies providing biomedical repair, healthcare technology management (HTM), and device rental and servicing for hospitals. It is the service-and-maintenance layer that keeps the installed base of medical equipment running, plus durable-medical-equipment rental.

Demand is driven by the large installed base of devices, the cost pressure to extend equipment life, and outsourcing of biomedical engineering. It is a recurring-revenue services business consolidating around scaled independent service organizations (and the OEMs' own service arms).
