Medical Device Testing Market

Medical Device Testing Market: By Services, Sourcing, Technology, and Region

Market Synopsis:

The global Medical Device Testing market is expected to grow from USD 9.40 billion in 2021 to USD 13.26 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.40% during the forecast period 2022-2030.

A rise in medical device recalls has prompted many medical device companies to consider their testing and quality control measures, and this is on the rise. Many of these companies are now conducting independent testing or hiring third-party firms for testing so they can ensure that the devices they sell don't create more harm than good.

The number of issues related to medical devices is on the rise as well, with over 3,000 such problems reported in 2018 alone. These issues include malfunctions within specific products as well as those instances when a product doesn't quite live up to expectations – no matter how rare those events may be – which might lead patients to file lawsuits. By ensuring that their devices meet certain standards and regulations before selling them, companies can help reduce some of the risks involved.

Hospitals and Medical Device Companies are Under Increased Pressure to Outperform

Hospitals and medical device companies are also under increased pressure to ensure that patients get everything they need, even if it means providing multiple devices to make the patient's life easier. This is especially important when it comes to hospital beds, wheelchairs, special wound care equipment, respiratory aids for sleep apnea sufferers and many other specific types of devices.

Another factor playing into this rise in testing has been changes made by regulatory agencies like the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). These agencies have begun placing stricter controls on certain kinds of procedures involving medical device manufacturers because often times these corporations aren't doing enough to ensure their products do what they're supposed to do putting them out on the market. As a result, manufacturers and hospitals alike are now taking the time to conduct more thorough testing on their products before putting them out there. In addition to this, medical device companies have increased their internal quality control measures so they can catch any issues earlier in the process when it's likely less expensive to fix them.

Testing Services to Dominate the Global Medical Device Testing Market

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates medical devices, which is a broad category that includes everything from contraceptives to heart valves. It has been estimated that more than 1 million of these products are used in the US every day. Given this huge number, it goes without saying that failure of which can lead to serious injury and even death of the patient. It is therefore, crucial for manufacturers of these devices to be sure their products do not fail. One way they ensure such quality is by subjecting them to stringent tests before releasing them on the market following approval by the FDA on compliance with standards on safety and usefulness.

While device testing is done before they are bought to market, there comes a time when manufacturers must subject their products to further testing to make sure there are no defects. With the need for quality assurance ever increasing, related service industries have sprung up that provide Medical Device Testing services for manufacturers and other businesses.

A lot of these companies offer these services for devices that already made it to the market as well. This is because products may fail after release to the public due to mishandling or use beyond how they were intended by design. A good example of this is faulty heart valves implanted inside patients' bodies which were later found out to be defectively designed leading them malfunction thus requiring replacement surgery.
