Medical supplies and equipment is the leading segment by product type of the UK medical courier market. Products, including consumables, accessories, and many more, are essential medical supplies that a healthcare facility center requires repeatedly. These medical supplies need refilling the stock at a healthcare facility center every few days. Therefore, the need for courier services is more in the country. For equipment, courier services are limitedly opted (while setting up the healthcare facility center or at the time of replacement due to damage or replacing old equipment with hi-tech equipment). However, the medical courier market for this segment is expected to grow faster as the demand for medical supplies is expanding every day. In addition, the country will likely experience increasing numbers of hospitals and other healthcare facility centers. According to the Department of Health and Social Care's announcement in October 2020, the UK government has confirmed funding of US$ 3 billion (£3.7 billion) to build 40 hospitals and eight schemes to offer funding to deliver 48 hospitals by 2030. Therefore, it is expected that the demand will grow for hi-tech equipment and advanced medical supplies from other European countries or other countries worldwide simultaneously increasing the demand for courier services in the country. Also, the growing export of medical supplies and equipment from the UK to other countries will influence the growth of the market. Furthermore, the adoption of e-commerce in the healthcare sector has evolved and replaced conventional courier services in the country leading to significant market growth.

Whereas lab specimens is the fastest segment by product type of the UK medical courier market. Many labs and medical facilities have in-house delivery services to handle lab specimens. However, many labs and medical facility centers outsource medical logistics services offered by independent shipping and delivery companies. Lab specimens are critical products that need a temperature-controlled environment. While transporting lab specimens, it is essential to ensure safe and compliant collection, pickup, and delivery. Various guidelines are published by regulatory bodies in the UK for the safe transport of lab specimens. According to the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust data published in January 2023, over three-quarters of all medical diagnosis relies on laboratory diagnostics, and the NHS performs more than 6.5 million tests each year. Many diagnostic tests are done on blood, urine, or other body fluids or tissue samples. Among these samples, a few are routinely performed, and some require diagnostic tests that are rare and complex. Therefore, the tests needing transportation services are outsourced to advanced, hi-tech laboratories. Thus, the statistics of lab tests performed yearly at the NHS will likely propel the demand for medical courier services. Many private healthcare facility centers across the country also offer lab services. According to The Royal College of Pathology, nearly 105 hospitals offer pathology services, ~300,000 tests are performed every working day, and almost 14 tests are performed on each patient yearly in England and Wales. Thus, the number of pathology tests performed in a year in the country will significantly influence the market expansion during the forecast period.
