Market Overview

Market Overview and Estimation

Global medical device market has undergone enormous growth in the past years. There has been extensive technological advancement in specifications of medical devices for various procedures. With rise in procedural volume of different types of surgeries and rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, has led to preferences for minimally invasive surgeries. Owing to these factors, it is anticipated that the global medical device market will grow multifold in the coming years.

With the increased usage of advanced medical devices for procedures, there is a significant rise in the cases of adversity. The incidence rate of medical device product recalls is on the rise at a significant pace; for instance, in the U.S., medical device product recalls showed a CAGR of 6.6% from 2013 to 2018.

The product recalls can cost billions to the medical device industry and individual companies. There are multiple explanations for the intense jump in product recalls, including the globalization of the supply chain, the complexity of devices, and the continued race to market. As per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, more than 400 product recalls annually could be prevented, if the manufacturer had better design control practices.

The Global Medical Devices Testing Services Market Report by BIS Research projects the market to grow at a significant CAGR of 10.81% during the forecast period, 2019-2029. The market was estimated at $1.32 billion in 2018.

Growth Factors

Keywords: Market demand, market growth, technology research, market development, market trends, industry study

Increased Pace of Medical Device Regulatory Changes Benefiting Medical Devices Testing Service Providers: The global medical devices testing services market witnessed rapid growth from 2015 to 2018. The overall healthcare testing service provider sector is currently facing significant changes in its market dynamics as new methodologies, technologies, and practices are currently being introduced in the market. This sector is going through a period of amendments, driven by increased pace of medical device regulatory changes and requirements. However, factors such as barriers to innovation in the medical device industry, are hindering the overall medical devices testing services market. This factor is expected to highly influence the market growth both in the short and long term.

Increasing Medical Device Product Recalls Reflecting the Need for Proper Implementation of Product Safety Testing: Over a period of time several products have been recalled owing to concerns to device complexity and supply chain issues. Such practices can cause loss of billion to the medical device industry and other stakeholders. Based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration report that a recall of 400 products can be prevented if better control is administered over the manufacturing design. This factor is expected to have a strong impact in the short term future. However, in the long term it is expected to have only medium impact.

Market Restraints

Barriers to Innovation in Medical Devices Industry: The development or diffusion process of innovative medical devices has been very slow mainly owing to the barriers to innovation. Though some of the barriers such as regulations are necessary considering the patient safety and device efficacy, the other barriers can be completely eradicated or removed by improvizing the policies and close cooperation among different stakeholders. Along with these factors, there exists a lack in the focus of medical device companies on emerging countries as they are reluctant to supply low priced products and hence have a low profit margin. This further hinders the growth of the medical devices testing services market globally.
