Market Trends of Global Product Design and Development Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Product Design & Development Market according to our research experts:
Surgical Instrument Segment is Expected to Occupy a Significant Share in the Studied Market
The increasing prevalence and burden of chronic diseases around the world are driving the demand for effective and advanced treatment services that involve surgical procedures and due to which the number of surgical procedures performed around the world is increasing and further expected to increase in the near future and hence, surgical instrument segment is expected to hold a significant share in the studied market as rising in number and demand of surgical procedures will directly increase the demand of the surgical instruments around the world.
For instance, as per the research study published in September 2020, titled 'Estimation of the National Surgical Needs in India by Enumerating the Surgical Procedures in an Urban Community Under Universal Health Coverage,' about 11% of the global burden of disease requires surgical, or anesthesia care or both, and an estimated 3,646 surgeries would be required annually to meet the surgical needs of the Indian population as compared to the global estimate which is 5,000 surgeries per 100,000 people. Thus, with the rising demand for surgical procedures around the world, the demand for the design and development of advanced surgical instruments is expected to increase, which will drive growth in the studied segment.
Further, the number of surgeries is increasing globally due to advancement in the various medical devices like implants which are better than the previous ones and offers a better chance of treatment and living a normal life to the patients, which is further expected to drive growth in the surgical instrument segment over the forecast period. For instance, according to the June 2021 report of the Canadian Institute of Health Information, 63,496 hip replacements and 75,073 knee replacements were performed in the period 2019-2020 in Canada, and there was an average increase of about 5% in recent years in the knee and hip replacement procedures in the country. Hence, owing to the rising number of surgeries and technological innovations, the surgical instrument segment is expected to occupy a significant share in the studied market.
Asia-Pacific is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Product Design and Development Market Over the Forecast Period of the Study
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a significant share in the studied market over the forecast period of the study owing to the high growth opportunities offered by the region in terms of design, development, and manufacturing. The Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the fastest-growing economies, such as India and China, which offers raw materials as well as skilled labor at very low cost as compared to the developed nations, and due to this reason, the medical device companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are outsourcing their design, development and manufacturing services in these regions which are expected to boost growth in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period of the study.
Also, the governments of respective countries in the Asia-Pacific region offer various incentives and relaxations in taxation norms to the medical device manufacturers, which further encourages companies to invest in these regions and thus, augment the growth of the studied market in the region. For example, In September 2021, the Government of India launched two new initiatives to boost medical device manufacturing in the country - the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) and the Promotion of Medical Devices Parks Scheme, and the Production Lined Incentives scheme provides financial incentives to stimulate domestic production and attract big investments in industries including cancer care devices, radiography and imaging equipment, anesthetics devices, and surgical implants, among others.
Further, the new investment in the area by the companies is expected to augment the growth of the studied market in the region. For instance, in February 2022, Warburg Pincus announced an investment of USD 210 million in Indian medical device manufacturing company Micro Life Sciences Private Limited, the parent organization of the Meril group of companies engaged in the design, development, and manufacturing of medical devices. Therefore, due to the above-mentioned factors, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a significant share in the studied market during the forecast period of the study.
