Forecast: Future medical device industry development direction

The famous Frost & Sullivan market research company in the United States recently conducted a survey on the global medical machinery industry and predicted the future development of this industry.

According to the company's manager, cardiovascular products, orthopedic products (such as reconstructive implants, spinal joints, etc.) remain the "fist" products in the medical device industry , which will be highly competitive and maintain growth momentum. As minimally invasive surgery becomes the standard form of treatment, the equipment used in minimally invasive surgery will also grow even more.

Frost&sullivan analysts believe that future medical research and technology will focus more on chronic diseases that are expensive and debilitating. Manufacturers will use lower technology to reduce treatment costs and improve the lives of people with chronic conditions. The continuous integration and complementary advantages between information technology, medical imaging, medicine and medical equipment will also bring clinical treatment to a new level. The development of drug-containing stents and telemedicine represents this growth trend. As people's living standards continue to improve, cosmetic surgery has become a hot spot. In the United States, the number of cosmetic surgeries has increased from around 2 million in 1997 to 10 million in 2008, and manufacturers of related equipment will benefit. At the same time, frost & sullivan analysts recommend that medical device manufacturers use a continuous development strategy to assess the patient's treatment environment, develop new technologies to improve treatment levels, develop new products that meet market needs, and ensure continued growth in the future.

Frost&sullivan analysts believe that the shortage of nurses and primary health care providers in the United States will ultimately lead to higher medical costs due to the lack of adequate preventive care. The American Critical Care Association expects more than 1 million nurse vacancies to occur by 2009. Therefore, manufacturers should develop equipment for remote patient monitoring, minimally invasive surgery for outpatient treatment, and patient self-care.
