Like most countries in Latin America, Mexico<\/a> faced harsh challenges due to the COVID pandemic. Given the stress on its healthcare system in dealing with patients suffering from the virus, one could assume that Mexican hospitals focused on acquiring basic but essential equipment like ventilators, patient monitors and personal protection equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout 2020, GHI\u2019s team contacted thousands of hospitals in Mexico<\/a> to track their respective amounts of both basic and specialized equipment. In doing so, the team discovered that the 3 medical equipment categories with the most growth in 2020 were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, ventilators and patient\nmonitors were not among the top 10 medical equipment types with the most growth\nin 2020 across Mexican hospitals. In fact, many of the categories that grew the\nmost in 2020 tended to be more specialized, such as linear accelerators and\nrobotic surgery systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was 2020 An Anomaly? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GHI also tracked growth areas for Mexico\u2019s hospitals in 2019 and featured these numbers in its 2020 report on the region\u2019s medical equipment market. In that year, these were the categories with the most growth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the exception of infusion pumps, these equipment types are for specialized treatments\/diagnostics, suggesting that it\u2019s not necessarily an anomaly for hospitals in Mexico to focus on high-tech acquisitions.\u00a0 Rather, these high-cost equipment types require long planning cycles and therefore committed hospitals maintained their equipment purchase plan throughout 2020, despite the effects of COVID<\/a>. This may lead to slowdowns in equipment purchase in the future.\u00a0GHI will keep tracking these equipment types and reporting on trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
