"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
The India medical devices market size was valued at USD 14.65 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 16.16 billion in 2025 to USD 34.84 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period.
Medical devices include tools and equipment for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions such as cardiovascular defects, diabetes, trauma & injuries, tumors, and more. Some of these devices include blood pressure monitors, drug delivery devices, diagnostic imaging systems, thermometers, in-vitro diagnostics, fixation devices, dental devices, and others.
The India market is witnessing significant growth due to key factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and traumatic injuries, which are driving the need for diagnosis and intervention, spurring the adoption of associated medical devices. Moreover, the growing demand for early diagnosis of medical conditions is also expected to propel the use of these devices during the forecast period.
Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., and GE Healthcare are major players operating in the India market. These players are implementing various growth strategies such as signing collaborations, launching new products, and expanding production capacities to gain a significant share of the India market.
Rising Burden of Chronic Diseases and Aging Population to Fuel Market Growth
In India, there has been a considerable rise in the aging population over the past few years, and it is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years. For instance, according to the data published by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in September 2023, the population of individuals aged more than 80 years is projected to increase at a rate of around 279.0% between 2022 and 2050 in India.
Such a rise in the aging population prone to chronic medical conditions is increasing the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular abnormalities, cancer, and diabetes, which is expected to increase the demand for diagnostic and intervention devices.
Moreover, there is an increasing need for devices such as diagnostic imaging systems, cardiac monitors, insulin pumps, and others, which is attracting international players to expand their footprint in India. This is expected to increase the product availability and drive the India medical devices market growth in the forthcoming years.
Limited Penetration of Advanced Devices to Hamper Market Growth
Despite rapid technological advancements, India is facing a lower adoption rate of several advanced medical instruments, including surgical robots and high-end imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, computed tomography (CT) scanners, positron emission tomography (PET) scanners, ultrasound scanners, and point-of-care testing devices.
This limited adoption rate is mainly due to the high initial costs and ongoing maintenance costs of this advanced equipment, which is deterring healthcare providers, especially in tier-III cities and rural areas, from investing such higher amounts. Moreover, the public healthcare facilities in these areas are facing limited funding, which is further expected to limit the adoption of advanced devices. Moreover, the limited awareness of advanced diagnostic technologies among the rural population, limited reimbursements, and infrastructure in these areas are also restricting the installation of advanced equipment, which is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure and Medical Tourism to Offer Lucrative Growth Opportunity
In recent years, there has been an increasing healthcare spending favored by government initiatives and the population, which is driving the demand for advanced imaging, diagnostics, consumables, and surgical instruments in India. The government is increasingly investing in developing healthcare infrastructure in the country. Also, the government is focusing on expanding insurance services for low-income families, which is expected to increase the volume of diagnoses and interventions in these areas, thereby demanding advanced equipment.
Also, the affordability of certain medical procedures, such as dental procedures, cosmetic procedures, and orthopedic procedures, is attracting individuals globally to get their procedures done in India. This rising medical tourism is demanding the development of advanced healthcare facilities, equipped with cutting-edge equipment. Such a scenario is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for prominent players to introduce their devices in the India market, supporting market expansion during the forecast timeframe.
Shortage of Skilled Professionals to Challenge Market Growth
The introduction of advanced medical devices has surged the demand for highly trained professionals to operate, maintain, and manage these devices. However, India is currently facing a significant shortage of skilled professionals such as surgeons, clinical technicians, and radiologists, particularly in Tier III cities and rural areas, as the healthcare infrastructure is still developing in these areas.
This shortage is affecting the system's operation, thereby resulting in delays of certain procedures. This is leading to underutilization of advanced technologies such as AI-powered diagnostics, robotic surgery, and other equipment, which is anticipated to challenge the market expansion during the projection period.
Increasing Adoption of Wearable and Implantable Devices is a Key Market Trend
Currently, there is a growing awareness of health and fitness due to a higher burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension in India. This is driving the demand for continuous monitoring of health conditions, ultimately propelling the use of wearable medical devices. As a result, the popularity of continuous glucose monitors (CGM), fitness trackers, smartwatches, and ECG monitors is rising in the country. This continuous monitoring allows for early detection of health conditions, thereby facilitating timely interventions. In response, the key players are increasingly launching such products in India, boosting the product availability.
Moreover, the demand for implantable devices such as pellets, cardiac pacemakers, cochlear implants, neurostimulators, and insulin pumps is increasing due to their ability to provide significant benefits therapeutically. Also, the innovations in minimally invasive procedures are increasing the acceptance of implantable technologies.
