The medical devices market is showing continuous growth driven by various factors such as rise in aging population, innovations in medical devices, changing lifestyles and increasing awareness about the medical conditions and available treatments. Diagnostic imaging devices segment is the major revenue generating market for medical devices market due to extensive research and development. Other major revenue segment for medical devices market is bioimplants and neurostimulation specifically in markets of North America and Europe due to increasing demand for cosmetic implants and economic stability in these regions.
North America leads in the medical devices market followed by the Europe majorly because of aging population. According to the data of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDS), in 2010 40 million people aged 65 and above in United States accounting for 13% of the total population and CDC projected that around 20% of the population in the country would be under this category by 2030. Market of Asia-Pacific is also growing at faster pace for medical devices majorly driven by the growing economies of Japan, China and India. The key players in the market include Stryker Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Philips Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Toshiba Medical Systems, Boston Scientific Corporation, St. Jude Medical, Inc., Biomet, Inc. and Smith and Nephew. Among all of the above Stryker Corporation and Johnson & Johnson are currently dominating medical devices markets.
