The global healthcare architecture market size was valued at USD 8.52 billion in 2023, and is anticipated to grow from USD 8.89 billion in 2024 to USD 13.21 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. North America dominated the global market with a share of 28.52% in 2023.


Healthcare architecture refers to the designing and planning of healthcare facilities to create spaces that support the efficient and effective delivery of healthcare services. The architecture of hospitals is critical for maintaining public health as it influences the behavioral pattern of patients and provides ease in working in such spaces. According to the Cybermetrics Lab and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) research group, due to the increased requirement for new hospitals, several new hospital facility constructions and refurbishments are in the pipeline globally, with some of the investments amounting to USD 500 million. A growing number of hospitals in developed and developing nations is expected to boost the expansion of the healthcare architecture industry during the forecast period.


The major factor responsible for the market growth is the increasing rate of hospitalization and rising demand for advanced healthcare infrastructure to equip the facility with advanced medical products. Moreover, the rising investment in the healthcare infrastructure and increasing awareness about healthcare architecture are other significant factors driving the healthcare architecture market growth.


The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market due to the imposition of lockdowns, displacement of laborers and architects to their native places, and the restricted supply of raw materials. In addition, during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare system was unprepared to combat the patient load and other challenges with existing infrastructure. The above factors led to the overall slowdown of the market. Moreover, the pandemic delayed several strategic plans and achievements of the companies operating in the market and pushed the targets to 2023, hampering the market growth.



  • For instance, Stantec witnessed a slight decline in revenue for consecutively two years. The company witnessed a revenue decline of -2.0% and -3.2% in 2020 and 2021, respectively.


However, post-COVID, the market indicated considerable growth and returned to the pre-pandemic level, owing to the readiness of healthcare institutions for such an unexpected pandemic. Thus, the government's increasing attention to evolving healthcare infrastructure helped the market recover rapidly from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Healthcare Architecture Market Trends


Rising Adoption of Neuroaesthetics and Growing Inclination toward Space Repurposing


With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the real estate industry adopted the concept of neuroaesthetics and the requirement of repurposing spaces. Neuroaesthetics deals with the perception, thoughts, and emotions shaped by the architectural environment around a person. The neuroaesthetics concept in health space design is trending and can be used to create responsive spaces that promote faster healing. Several hospitals are employing the therapeutic arts to facilitate healing transformation. They are additionally designing a pioneering restoration center, tailored to be accessible to staff, clinicians and faculty, aimed at bolstering their mental health, aiding of recovery and fostering resilience. For instance, the acute psychiatric inpatient units at the Dandenong Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, have wide corridors and a layout that meanders through landscaped courtyards. Such design elements could prove advantageous for individuals with dementia who may tend to wander.



  • For instance, according to an article published in MDPI in 2021, the application of neuroscience in architecture is gaining prominence. Designing buildings with neuroscientific explorations can improve human cognitive-emotional response.


Moreover, repurposing healthcare spaces can play a significant role in revitalizing communities. Adaptive reuse of existing healthcare buildings offers huge potential to address the healthcare system's needs. Repurposing and structuring of space are becoming a popular strategy for hospital systems to expand services away from their hospitals. It requires less capital and repurposed space can be operational more quickly than new construction.


Thus, implementing neuroaesthetics architecture and repurposing space gained huge attention after the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to positively influence the market.

Healthcare Architecture Market Growth Factors


Increasing Rate of Hospitalizations is Driving the Growth of the Market Globally


The growth of the global market is primarily driven by the increasing rate of hospitalizations, which can be attributed to the rising diagnoses of acute and chronic diseases, growing incidences of traumas, and the increasing demand for preventive medical care. In many regions, there has been an increasing trend of medical tourism, which requires an extensively developed medical infrastructure that is expected to support market growth during the forecast period.



  • For instance, according to an article published in January 2022, the U.S. witnessed a sudden surge in hospitalization rates due to omicron-driven COVID-19 cases. According to the data tracked by the Department of Health and Human Services, more than 5,400 hospitals in the U.S. witnessed increased hospitalization rates, indicating the demand for well-developed healthcare infrastructure.


In addition, the opening of new hospitals, surgical centers, and rehabilitation facilities to provide patient care across the world is one of the factors contributing to the market growth.



  • For instance, in April 2023, UC Davis Health announced the opening of a rehabilitation hospital located at the Sacramento medical center campus. This hospital is fully equipped with cutting-edge facilities where the patient can practice their daily activities. The facility includes 12-bed units for brain injury patients and four private rooms specifically designed for bariatric patients.


Moreover, a significant range of funds allocated by the government to the healthcare sector of emerging economies is estimated to boost the market by the end of the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost and Technical Requirements to Limit the Market Growth


Healthcare architecture is one of the complex architecture types and is associated with several regulations. Hospital architecture demands meticulous planning at each level, from dimensions to construction details, as it is meant to fulfill the needs of patients and caregivers. Being a specialized sector, the balance between art, cost, time, technique, and requirements is challenging and limiting the market growth.



  • For instance, according to an article published in March 2023 by Togal.AI, a construction technology company in the U.S., building hospitals costs between USD 60 million and USD 187.5 million on average, where the architect takes around 20% of the project cost.


In addition, there is a high spending on medical devices that is necessitated at the hospitals. For instance, as per data provided by Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) in April 2021, around USD 200.00 billion was spent by U.S. hospitals on medical devices.


Moreover, different types of healthcare rooms, such as OPD, IPD, administrative, diagnostics, ICU, surgery rooms, and others, require particular temperatures and humidity levels. Such broad necessities with limited resources, limits the creativity and hampers the market growth.
