Increasing Cost Pressures and Focus on Reducing Time to Market Devices to Augment Growth of Medical Devices Outsourcing Market
Medical device outsourcing is a process of contracting a third-party for different corporate business purposes such as product design, production, distribution, and prototyping. It is considered as one of the cost-effective options to improve the profitability of a medical device company. Medical device companies usually outsource their requirements to third-party manufacturers that are specialized and experienced in this industry domain. These manufacturers are equipped with the necessary skills to manufacture any kind of device that falls under the spectrum of medical device.
Market Dynamics
Increasing
cost pressures and focus on reducing time to market devices to propel growth of
the medical devices outsourcing market. Moreover, remote audits of medical
devices due to Covid-19 pandemic is also expected to aid in growth of the
market. For instance, in January 2021, The European Union announced to temporarily
allow remote audits of medical devices and in vitro diagnostics under the new
regulations (MDR IVDR), set to go into effect on May 2021 and 2022
respectively.
Favorable
reimbursement and insurance coverage is expected to offer lucrative growth
opportunities for players in the global medical devices outsourcing market. For
instance, in January 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
issued a final rule that allows FDA-designated breakthrough devices to have
Medicare coverage the same day they are approved. Moreover, investment in
R&D is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in June
2020, Integer Holdings Corporation started The Galway Research and Development
(R&D) Innovation Centre in Ireland to enhance Integer’s capability to
provide high-quality medical devices and technologies.
The
medical devices outsourcing market is witnessing several M&A activities. For

Clinical Services Group Ltd., a provider of healthcare staffing services.
