MORTUARY FACILITY MARKET OVERVIEW

Global Mortuary Facility Market size is USD 0.8 Billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch 1.16 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.

 The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the mortuary facility market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The number of hospitals has grown over time in tandem with the growing population and demand for world-class services. Because most hospitals have morgues, the increase in the number of morgues is exactly proportionate to the increase in the number of hospitals. Furthermore, the number of private morgues has allegedly expanded in recent years since the death care industry provides a significant opportunity for revenue production through tailored funeral services.

Technological improvements significantly impact the growth of the mortuary equipment industry. Developing mechanized technologies such as dissection tables, autopsy platforms, and embalming platforms will likely boost demand. Incorporating hydraulics and mechatronics in these machines improves professional convenience, minimizes procedural timing, and promotes efficiency.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Witnessed a Significant Growth Owing to Rising Number of Deaths 

The COVID-19 pandemic was a global health issue that challenged all countries. A surge in the number of deaths that occurred during the previous years showed positive growth in the market. Uncertainty around the globe owing to the pandemic led to a rising number of death occurrences. Poor health facilities and hefty insurance greatly increased the market demand.

The number of hospitals has grown over time in tandem with the growing population and demand for world-class services. Because most hospitals have morgues, the increase in the number of morgues is exactly proportionate to the increase in the number of hospitals. Furthermore, the number of private morgues has allegedly expanded in recent years since the death care industry provides a significant opportunity for revenue production through tailored funeral services.

Technological Advancements to Fuel Market Growth

Technological improvements significantly impact the growth of the mortuary equipment industry. The development of mechanized technologies such as autopsy platforms, dissection tables, and embalming platforms will likely boost demand. Incorporating hydraulics and mechatronics in these machines improves professional convenience, minimizes procedural timing, and promotes efficiency. With the availability of technologically advanced units in various sizes, there is a growing need for unique refrigeration and storage units. These range from small units for infant cadavers to larger units for the obese. For maximum utilization of floor space in morgues, there is a significant demand for various sizes. Replacing traditional platforms with these modern ones is projected to play a significant role in propelling the mortuary equipment industry forward.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Costs of the Product to be A Major Concern in The Market

High equipment acquisition and maintenance costs, cultural and ethical concerns about post-mortem and body storage, funeral directors sometimes operating at night, and undertakers having a terrible work-life balance. These are some of the restricting factors affecting market growth.
