Medical Device Logistics: Answering the Challenges

Pegasus Logistics GroupInsider

The US is the largest medical device market in the world, making up approximately 43% of the global market for medical devices. Select USA estimated the market was valued at $155 billion in 2017, with more than 6,300 medical device companies operating in the US. According to ResearchAndMarkets.com, the global medical device market is set to surpass $400 billion by 2023, with a compound rate of 4.5%.

This tremendous growth can be attributed to rapid technological advancements coupled with an increase in the current aging population. Demands for better, faster, and more accessible healthcare drive innovation throughout the industry. Growth creates a great opportunity for medical device companies to introduce new products and gain market share, while improving the lives of patients who are provided better healthcare. However, this high demand also presents a unique set of challenges for medical device companies from both a speed to market persepctive, and a regulatory perspective. The current landscape demands increased visibility and quality control measures throughout all stages of the supply chain.
