This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Patient Temperature Management market for the period 2015-2019. The market can be segmented into two: Warming Devices and Cooling Devices.

Approximately 16.40% of the world's population is above 65 years. This percentage is expected to increase to 18.70% by 2020. The elderly are more susceptible to traumatic injuries, arthritis, soft tissue inflammation, cardiac problems, obesity-related problems, and other chronic diseases.

According to the report, The launch of a new product from the R&D stage to commercialization is a very expensive process. Vendors make huge investments in R&D to gain market shares. Rapid developments in technology may result in the success or failure of a product during the R&D process. In addition, the long R&D and approval process may result in product obsolescence.

Further, Leading vendors are opting for M&A to strengthen their global position and to increase their commercial capabilities. For instance, to achieve high economies of scale, Covidien and Medtronics entered into a partnership for US$42.90 billion in June 2014, ZOLL Medical acquired Philips (News - Alert) InnerCool Temperature Management in November 2014, C.R.
