The global medical device technology market is growing at a significant CAGR of around 5.4% during the forecast period (2020-2026). Medical device technologies ae referred to the technologies that can assist a healthcare provider in performing diagnosis, treatment and treatment of certain medical condition using medical devices. There are several advanced technologies opening their space in the medical devices market. The major factors driving the global medical device technology market includes technological advancements in medical devices and rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as CVD and cancer. According to WHO, around 17.9 million fatalities occur each year due to heart diseases, which is estimated to be around 31.0% of the global fatalities.

In addition, rising cases of diabetes and respiratory healthcare problems and rising geriatric population are other factors offering growth to the medical device technology market. According to WHO, diabetes prevalence has been increasing steadily over the past three decades. In 1980, the diabetic population totaled around 108 million and this number has increased to 415 million in 2015, as per the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). These numbers specify that in present times one in 11 adults is affected with diabetes. Further, the federation projected that the diabetic population is will reach 642 million by 2040. Such rising prevalence of diabetes and other chronic diseases are driving the need for technology pronounced medical devices, which in turn, will offer growth to the market during the forecast period. However, the strict FDA regulations and uncertainty in reimbursement certainly hampers the growth of the global medical device technology market. The safety and security of patients is considered to be the primary objective of the government and the US FDA; as a result, many innovative devices may find it difficult to comply with the FDA rules and regulations.

Segmental Outlook  

The medical device technology market is classified on the basis of device type, which includes in vitro diagnostics devices, diagnostic imaging devices, cardiology devices, ophthalmology devices, orthopedic devices, and others. Among these devices, the cardiology devices segment holds a significant share in the market. The segmental growth is backed by the rising incidences and prevalence of CVD across the globe. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are estimated one of the major causes of mortality across the globe, accounting for more than 17.3 million mortalities per year. This number of mortalities by CVDs is further estimated to reach 23.6 million by 2030. Such rising incidences of CVD is rising the development of advanced technologies in order to cater the wide patient pool across the globe.
