COVID-19  IMPACTING

MedTech Industry Had a Positive Effect Due to Soaring Demand during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The MedTech sector gained a spotlight as the uncontrolled pandemic 'the COVID19' resulted in medical supplies like masks, ventilators, testing kits as urgent necessity. When companies stopped, they ramped up production, worked with other industries, and simple, easy to share designs to fill shortages. The virus took control, and testing tools became crucial to controlling it; vaccine rollout drove syringe demand. There were some businesses that did well, and others that didn’t, illustrating the power of flexibility in bad times.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

Technological Advancements Enhance Efficiency and Precision in Healthcare

By improving diagnostics, treatment precision, and operational efficiency the introduction of AI, robotics and IoT are a game changer in healthcare. These innovations are providing faster, more accurate medical intervention, and better patient outcomes, and at a lower cost to healthcare. One example, wearable devices and telemedicine platform, are making healthcare more accessible in remote areas across the industry due to the adoption of the same.

• According to an industry association, the United States accounts for over 40% of the global MedTech market and directly supports more than 519,000 jobs, which is equivalent to about 0.3% of the U.S. workforce.
• As per government data, there are approximately 5,600 medical device companies in the U.S., employing more than 365,000 people. This represents about 65 employees per company on average.

Aging Population Increases Demand for Healthcare Solutions and Services

Advanced medical solutions to manage aging illnesses and chronic disease are needed to handle the growing elderly population globally. However, as this demographic shift creates an increasing demand for diagnostic tools, minimally invasive devices and home based care solutions, this is also providing growth opportunities for manufacturers. These higher healthcare expenditures are the result of increasing life expectancy, and better awareness, and push for a constant product development to meet displaced needs.

Restraining Factor

High costs hinder widespread adoption, limiting access to advanced technology

The high cost of advanced medical technology is a major barrier. Such are the costs of producing and buying many new devices, especially those that employ the most advanced technology. Hospitals, clinics and patients in general, especially in developing countries, cannot afford them this makes. Therefore, it impedes the speed in which these technologies flatten in the healthcare industry, affecting its positive role on improving healthcare globally.
