Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The medical devices sector is undergoing a seismic shift towards a preventative model of care by marrying MedTech with the internet of medical things (IoMT). Medical device manufacturers are revamping their R&D models by integrating emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and 3D printing into the development phases of medical equipment. The rise of the industry has encouraged the medical device companies to adopt automation technologies like AI, IoT, and robotics into their day-to-day manufacturing operations. This is not only automating their individual processes to improve throughput time, productivity, and safety of workers, but also assisting in the inspection of finished goods, packaging, and supply chain to adhere to quality requirements.

AI-powered platforms are fused with high-end medical scanning devices like MRI, CT, and 3D mammography to improve image clarity and clinical outcomes, as well as enable technicians to reduce exposure to harmful radiation, that helps for rapid and accurate diagnosis of a disease. The highly regulated medical devices sector, which once majorly catered to hospitals and diagnostic centers, has shifted its focus towards the end consumer who is increasingly demanding more preventative, personalized and ‘hospital at home’ kind of care delivery. Companies are also offering DIY medical devices by leveraging mobile apps to help users monitor, diagnose, and manage their health in the comfort of their homes.

What are the key challenges faced by the medical devices sector?

Rising price pressures from health care providers coupled with lower returns from maturing products is challenging medical device companies to remain competitive and at the same time improve their bottom line. Key sector challenges include increasing costs of international business, ensuring product quality, increasing regulatory hurdles, rising healthcare costs, device pricing and reimbursement concerns, lack of innovation and data protection.

Which technologies are helping the sector?

Emerging technologies are making a profound impact across the value chain of medical devices, from improving equipment design during R&D to instant diagnostics at the point of care.

Product development / R&D

Medical device manufacturers are embracing technologies like AI, IoT, and 3D printing to create advanced medical devices with a human-centered approach that can solve some of the complex problems in healthcare.

Preclinical & clinical trials

Medical device manufacturers are increasingly eager to take cues from the pharma sector and replicate the tech-enabled processes to streamline clinical trials, improve patient recruitment, and decrease costs.

Manufacturing

Medical device companies have quickly adapted to automating every aspect of the manufacturing process by leveraging emerging technologies. They are using 3D printing to produce innumerable designs, robots to improve turnaround times and minimize errors, while AI-powered predictive maintenance is helping them to reduce machine downtime.

Supply chain & distribution

Technologies such as AI, blockchain, and IoT are found enabling end-to-end supply chain visibility to help the medical device companies reduce counterfeit products as well as simplify inventory management.

Marketing & sales

Medical device companies are found gradually replacing the traditional methods of providing machine or equipment demos with digital machines. Sales reps are equipped with virtual training to quickly enhance their knowledge with hands-on training in an immersive environment.

End users / payers

Emerging technologies are digitizing the way how hospitals, labs, and patients diagnose and manage diseases. While some companies are directly catering to end patients with DIY medical devices accompanied by a mobile app, others are offering advanced diagnostics to hospitals to shorten the turnaround times.

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
