However, stringent regulatory guidelines in developed economies and a lack of skilled professionals may limit the market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic has initially affected the market due to the shortage of supply of the product. The market players have resulted in a decline in operations, sales, and revenue during the pandemic. The outbreak has temporarily changed the customer’s spending habits due to the restrictions imposed by the government. The pandemic has resulted in rising costs of the product and post-sale services for the recovery of financial loss incurred by the market players.

The availability of technologically advanced products has also played an important role in positively impacting the growth of the market. Countries such as U.S., UK, and Germany are innovators and early adopters of advanced technologies, thus these are the most important customers for medical device markets with rapid technological innovations. Technological breakthroughs concentrating on increasing efficiency are expected to occur during the forecast period, thereby driving market growth.
