Segment Analysis:

By Equipment Type

The refrigeration units segment dominated the mortuary equipment market in 2023, with a revenue share of 30.25%. These units are critical in keeping human remains for long durations in hospitals, funeral homes, and forensic facilities. Their universal use is because of their dependability, cleanliness levels, and compatibility with temperature-control technologies.

Conversely, the autopsy equipment and platforms segment is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period. The hike is due to the increased demand for forensic pathology services and more autopsy procedures within medical and academic facilities. Technologies such as ergonomic designs and cleanable stainless steel material have also added to their popularity.

By Type

The automated mortuary equipment segment led the market in 2023 with a strong market share of 75.16%. Automated systems save considerable labor, enhance hygiene levels, and decrease manual handling, which is particularly useful in high-volume premises. As emphasis grows on workplace safety and efficiency in operations, healthcare and funeral services providers are putting money into automated trolleys, lifts, and body transportation systems.

On the other hand, the manual equipment category is transforming with hybrid models but still lags in growth owing to operational inefficiencies compared to their automated versions.

By End-User

In 2023, forensic labs and hospitals were the biggest consumers of mortuary equipment. Academic and research institutions, however, are likely to experience the highest rate of adoption. With an expansion of anatomy and pathology programs in medical schools, there is a growing need for embalming systems, dissection tables, and cadaver storage units. These institutions need sophisticated mortuary systems to handle, preserve, and analyze human specimens, and this significantly increases equipment demand.
