Hospital Architecture Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Facility Type (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, LT care facilities & nursing homes, Academic institutes) By Architecture Type (New Construction, Refurbishment), Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Hospital Architecture refers to the architecture that is utilized for the designing of healthcare facilities and specially designed for the undertaking of medical activities. The construction of hospitals is especially critical for the maintenance of public health as they contain all the important components needed for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a variety of medical diseases and disorders.

They are also very crucial in the times of epidemics and endemics as hospitals in some instances also contain the facility of quarantine, which is necessary for the maintenance of public health. According to the Cybermetrics Lab, the research group of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), there are over 16,500 hospitals around the world. Due to the increased requirement of new hospitals, there are a number of new hospital constructions and refurbishments on the pipeline, with some of the investments amounting to US$ 500 Mn. 

The growth in the Hospital Architecture Market will be primarily driven by the increasing rate of hospitalizations which can be attributed to increasing diagnosis of acute and chronic diseases, increasing incidences of traumas and also, rising demand for preventive medical care. Also, in many of the regions, there has been an increasing trend of medical tourism, which requires an extensively developed medical infrastructure. 

The factor that is expected to inhibit the growth of the market is the huge investment that the building or refurbishment of hospital architecture requires. Also, in many of the underdeveloped markets, in the regions where there are hospitals to be constructed, there is often difficulty in the transportation of machinery and raw materials, thus, hindering the plans for construction of hospital architecture. 

Key Players Covered 

Some of the major companies that are present in the global Hospital Architecture market are HDR, HKS, Stantec, Jacobs Engineering Group, CannonDesign, NBBJ, Perkins+Will and Smith Group, and other players. 

 SEGMENTATION 

At present, hospitals account for the largest proportion of the market due to hospitals being the most primary and common form of hospital architecture globally. The share of ambulatory surgery centers segment is also bound to increase, due to their increasing usage and applicability for a number of diverse applications such as diagnostic procedures and emergency treatment.
