South Korea Healthcare Asset Management Market

South Korea Healthcare Asset Management Market Overview: 

The South Korea healthcare asset management market size reached USD 341.14 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 722.77 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.70% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by increasing cybersecurity concerns, the imperative for operational efficiency in hospitals, and stringent regulatory requirements for asset tracking. The rising adoption of advanced technologies like RFID and RTLS also fuels expanding South Korea healthcare asset management market share.

South Korea Healthcare Asset Management Market Trends: 

Integration of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) and RFID

A significant trend in the South Korea healthcare asset management market is the increasing integration and adoption of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies. These technologies enable healthcare facilities to track the precise location and movement of medical equipment, devices, and even patients and staff in real-time. This capability is crucial for enhancing operational efficiency, reducing equipment loss or misplacement, and optimizing resource allocation within complex hospital environments. For instance, in December 2024, People & Technology (P&T), a top smart hospital solutions provider in South Korea, revealed its goal of achieving ₩20 billion in sales and pursuing a KOSDAQ listing. Its flagship solution, IndoorPlus SmartCare, boosts hospital efficiency through RTLS-based tracking of patients and equipment, biometric data monitoring, and infectious disease management. Deployed in 50 hospitals, it eases nurses’ workloads and enhances patient care. The continuous advancements in the accuracy, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of RTLS and RFID solutions are driving their wider implementation, thereby contributing significantly to the South Korea healthcare asset management market growth.

Emphasis on Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction

Healthcare providers in South Korea are facing escalating pressures to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs while maintaining high standards of patient care. Effective healthcare asset management solutions directly address these challenges by optimizing the utilization of expensive medical equipment, streamlining inventory management, and minimizing manual tracking efforts. By providing real-time visibility into asset location and status, these systems help prevent equipment shortages, reduce rental costs, and improve workflow efficiency for clinical staff. This strong focus on operational optimization and cost-saving initiatives is a key factor driving the South Korea healthcare asset management market growth. For instance, in February 2025, CHA Biotech announced plans to resume the IPO of its healthcare unit, CHA Healthcare, by end-2027 after merging it with affiliate CHA Cares, a hospital facility management and patient care provider. The move aims to strengthen financial stability and boost profitability. CHA Healthcare operates 90 hospitals globally but has faced margin challenges. The merger is expected to improve operational efficiency and support overseas expansion. This restructuring aligns with CHA Biotech’s broader investment and growth strategy in the healthcare sector.
