Global Medical Device Technologies Market
Medical Device Technologies Market: An article, instrument, apparatus or machine that is used in the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illness or disease, or for detecting, measuring, restoring, correcting or modifying the structure or function of the body for some health purpose is known as a medical device. Typically, the purpose of a medical device is not achieved by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means.” Medical devices require maintenance, calibration, user training, decommissioning and repair which are predominantly handled by the clinical engineers. Medical devices are used for certain purposes of treatment, rehabilitation and diagnosis of diseases or injuries may be used alone or in association with any other accessories, consumables or other medical equipment.
Increase in advanced technologies, rise and prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and COPD are expected to create demand for medical device technologies market. Rise in an ageing population, a high need of preventive health care, a rise in awareness about health concerns and changes in lifestyles of people are few factors which are expected to propel the growth of global medical devices technologies market. However, stringent government regulations, increased taxes on the products, increase in technology piracy incidence rate, a rise in the cost of devices and services are restraints of the market.
