Medical Device Outsourcing Market is Expected to Reach USD 40.8 Billion Globally in 2018: Transparency Market Research


According to a new market report "Medical Devices Outsourcing Market - Global Industry Size, Market Share, Trends, Analysis, and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," published by Transparency Market Research, the global medical devices outsourcing market, amidst ongoing medical technology development is expected to rise from USD 21.1 billion in 2012 to USD 40.8billion in 2018, registering a CAGR of 11.6% from 2012 to 2018. The product design segment holds the largest share - i.e. 29% - of the service market; whereas class II devices segment forms the largest application market as these are medium risk devices that involve fewer regulatory issues in comparison to class III devices.

The medical device market is one of the fastest growing and the most dynamic sector in the life sciences industry due to its high profit margins and the increasing demand for advanced medical devices. The medical device industry consists of three major participants - medical device manufacturers, product outsourcing companies, and service outsourcing companies. These three participants have together increased product efficiency and reduced costs by improving the product lifecycle management in medical device manufacturing.


The medical devices industry, in recent times, has grown considerably owing to technological advances and growing demand for sophisticated equipment. However, the competition in the market has also grown exponentially, posing challenges for medical device manufacturing companies such as cost, product innovation, time to market, and stiffer regulatory impositions. Outsourcing aids the medical device manufacturing industry to overcome these challenges by offering expertise in product design, regulatory consulting, testing and validation, product implementation and strategic consulting services.

The growing cost of raw material and increasing pressure to keep product prices competitive has impacted the bottom line of medical device manufacturers and forced them to explore new ways to lower their manufacturing cost and keep their prices competitive. Outsourcing services helps in meeting cost requirements and improved product design by offering innovative material engineering. Moreover, outsourcing these activities also helps in reducing time-to-market and meeting requirements efficiently, which in turn reduces ROI lead time for companies.

The global medical devices outsourcing market growth is driven by factors such as - growing demand for quality health care, advancement in health care technologies, increasing demand for lower health care costs, entry of new players in the medical device industry, and reduction in cost and time to market.

Some of the key market players in the global medical devices outsourcing market are Accellent Inc., Active Implants Corporation, CIRTEC Medical Systems LLC, MDMI Technologies INC, Micro Systems Engineering GMBH, Creganna - Tactx Medical and Avail Medical Products.

Global Automated Test Equipment Market (ATE) is Expected to Reach USD 4.36 Billion in 2018: Transparency Market Research


According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share and Forecast, 2012 - 2018", the Automated Test Equipment (ATE) market was valued at USD 3.54 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 4.36 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 2.88% from 2012 to 2018. The Asia Pacific ATE market accounted for over 75% of the global ATE market in 2011 and will remain a majority shareholder till the end of the forecast period as well.
The last few years have seen a considerable growth in the volume of electronics and telecom equipment manufactured. Integrated circuits on a wafer have to be tested prior to die preparation and this makes automated test equipment extremely vital for semiconductor manufacturing. Post the packaging of the integrated circuit, the packaged chips need to be tested again using a variety of special test patterns. Across the globe, semiconductor manufacturers use ATE to test the devices they manufacture and which are then incorporated in a variety of products ranging from televisions, personal computers, digital cameras, music players and mobile phones to mobile internet equipment and power management in automotive and portable electronics.
The main factors driving the demand for ATE include increase in the production of semiconductor devices, increase in the complexity and required performance level of semiconductors used in consumer electronic products and the emergence of next generation devices and technologies associated with these devices. The rapid transition to a 28 nm node application processor manufacturing process will fuel the demand for IC testing equipment, which in turn will drive the growth of the ATE. Critical success factors in the ATE market include reduction in testing costs, shorter time to market and increased production. In addition to this, companies need to focus on R&D to ensure that the ATE market can keep up with the ever changing and developing semiconductor industry.

Key players dominating this market include Teradyne, Inc., Advantest Corporation and LTX-Credence Corporation.

                        Owing to its ethical and scientific advantages, in vitro toxicity testing has acquired regulatory acceptance worldwide and thus holds huge growth potential in future. The advancements in toxicity testing procedures, strict regulations in different countries and increasing awareness towards animal welfare are the main factors driving this market. Moreover, several animal welfare organizations worldwide are supporting in vitro toxicity testing as it has minimum suffering and pain to animals.
                        The global in vitro toxicity testing market is expected to reach USD 4,114.1 million in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 15.3% from 2013 to 2018. Animal testing has been in effect for a long time but the implementation of in vitro toxicity testing is an alternative to animal testing and is relatively more effective and harmless. Moreover, in vitro toxicity is cost-effective to animal testing and the growing ethical concerns worldwide are expected to drive the in vitro toxicity market in the forecasted period. The pharmaceutical companies are thus increasingly shifting their focus from animal testing to in vitro toxicity testing.

                        North America accounted for the largest share, i.e. 40% of the overall in vitro toxicity testing market in 2010 at USD 526.9 million; however, Europe is expected to hold the largest share in 2018 surpassing North America. The primary reason for this has been the ban on animal testing in Europe for the assessment of genotoxic effects of chemicals ingredients intended for cosmetic products. So, it is expected to boost the in vitro toxicity testing market in Europe in the coming future. Among the several segments of the in vitro toxicity testing market, cosmetics and personal care represent the largest market sector followed by the pharmaceuticals segment.
                        Some of the major players in the in vitro testing market are Bio-Rad Laboratories, In Vitro Technologies, Gene Logic Inc., HTG Inc., Accelrys Software Inc., Mattek Corporation, Covance Inc., Charles River Laboratories International Inc., Xenobiotic Detection Systems, Xenometrix, among others.
                        This research is specially designed to estimate and analyze the demand and performance of in vitro toxicity testing in a global scenario.
