Global Market for Medical Devices, 2020 - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Medical Devices, 7th Edition" report to their offering.

This report finds a few trends in the global market continuing and some new trends in the market. Revenue growth at major companies has changed and so have most revenue forecasts. Market share position has changed in the last two years as two major competitors joined and others have shed medical device units. A host of mergers and acquisitions have occurred in the market as players seek to purchase growing operations. With slight growth in the market, companies are merging to build revenue growth and present combined offerings to hospital and physician customers.

The US economy recovered somewhat, yet in Europe as well as the United States, reimbursement challenges and the threat of new legislation looms. Emerging markets again helped to boost company revenues but the double digit growth of past years is no longer widely forecasted.

Medical device company merger and acquisitions activity was heavy in 2015 and into 2016. The report discusses these mergers and acquisitions in selected segments.

Furthermore, the report discusses bellwether companies. 15 bellwether companies have been identified based on revenues and also diversity of medical devices produced, so that changes merely in one area of devices have a mitigated impact on the industry forecast. The report concludes with several company profiles, noting revenues, product launches and selected products.
