LATEST TRENDS

Rapid Adoption of Digital Solutions by Key Players to Drive the Growth of High-Tech Medical Devices

As part of a rapidly growing region in the medtech sector, medical device manufacturers in the Asia Pacific countries are increasingly adopting digital solutions such as the internet of medical things (IoMT), cloud computing, big data analytics, and others. The key trend and technological advancement is supported by governments across Asia Pacific, encouraging players to launch technologically advanced products and devices.

• For instance, in April 2022, AI Medical Service Inc., a Japanese medical device company, announced that it had raised approximately USD 70 million in funding led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. The company used deep learning technology to develop endoscopic AI. It will use the fund to accelerate the global adoption of endoscopic AI and finance the development of an in-house cloud-based platform.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Financing by Multinational Venture Capitalists in the Asian Medtech Industry to Favor Market Expansion

Asia Pacific is going through an opportunistic era that leverages advantages to the key and emerging medical device manufacturers. The growing aging population and increasing consumption of medical supplies are encouraging multinational market players to expand their presence in the region to cater for the increasing demand and make profits.

• For instance, in April 2022, Siemens Healthineers AG announced the expansion of its manufacturing facility in India and announced the launch of its new production line for Computed Tomography (CT) Scanners at its Bengaluru facility. The company invested approximately USD 110.1 million in Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging manufacturing. Thus the rising investment and expansion is anticipated to fuel the medical devices market in India.


• Similarly, in February 2022, Warburg Pincus, a U.S.-based private equity firm, announced an investment of USD 210 million for a stake in Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd.


• According to a report published in 2022 by United Nations ESCAP, the initial quarter of 2022 witnessed a sharp increase in investments in this industry, reaching USD 1.2 billion.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limited Healthcare Budget in Developing Nations to Put Reimbursement Pressure Limiting Market Growth

Asia Pacific comprises developing and developed nations such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and New Zealand, respectively. The countries have various regulations and reimbursement policies for medical devices, whereas developing nations have limited budget allocation that restricts the full reimbursement of these devices and limits the growth of the market at the consumer end.

• For instance, according to an article published by Qualtech, a medical device regulatory CRO, the reimbursement system in China, has become quite complex compared to the past, as a majority of the devices are being reimbursed as a part of a medical procedure and only limited number of standalone devices are reimbursable.

The above-mentioned factors limit the market growth.
