Mexico’s Newest Hospitals

Despite recent healthcare challenges, Mexico’s hospital market appears to be growing: the projected revenue in the country’s hospital market is expected to reach US$43.97 billion this year, with a CAGR of 3.66% between 2024 and 2029.

Overall, Mexico has nearly 4,000 hospitals, of which 64% are private and 36% are public. The recent growth in Mexico’s hospital market is no surprise to GHI’s team of analysts since they have been gathering data for our comprehensive Medtech Outlook: Latin America 2024 report, which you can explore here.

• Radiology information systems grew by 18%
• Robotic surgery systems grew by 16.1%
• Endoscopy towers grew by 13.3%

This growth may offer opportunities for medical equipment/devices sales teams in Mexico, particularly with new hospitals that have just opened or will open soon.
