In reviewing Global Health Intelligence’s (GHI’s) recent research on the area, which comes from our HospiScope database, we noticed strong growth in diagnostic imaging equipment in Mexico during 2020 and recently highlighted 3 equipment categories that posted double-digit growth last year.

As a company, GHI has been tracking base installed equipment for hospitals in Latin America since 2014, and this has allowed us to create historical projections based on the changes we have observed as our team directly confirms equipment counts as part of the constant updating of HospiScope. We recently calculated CAGR for more than 30 different categories of medical equipment in Mexico for 2019-2023. Based on those calculations, below we offer projections for the 12 medical equipment categories in Mexico which are likely to have the strongest growth in 2022 — along with 5 that are projected to suffer the sharpest contractions.
