When rethinking about 2014,
some consulting companies already have stats that show how the medtech industry
performed last year.

The results show a solid industry, with
more than $380 billion worldwide sales, 5% sales growth rate and almost 10% of
return on investment.
As for 2015, the industry in the United
States is still adjusting from the new tax on their medical device sales and
the European sector is suffering from its internal pressure (see our last blog
entry). So it seems like emerging markets are still an attractive type of investment: Asia represents more than one-sixth of the world’s medical device
market and one should expect a double-digit growth in markets such as Mexico,
Brazil and Malaysia thanks to increasing healthcare spending. “Expect more
device companies to focus on these import-heavy markets, with Latin America and
the Middle East as the most important growth sources for medical device
manufacturers.”
