Market Overview
Private Equity Firms Continue Investing in the U.S. Medical Devices Industry
The private equity community in the United States will continue investing in the medical devices industry’s growth initiatives. The medical devices industry is one of the most important and dynamic industries of the U.S. economy and a leading force in the transformation of the U.S. healthcare system. Well-qualified and skilled personnel, state-of-the-art technology, and a well-aware patient population characterize the market.
“Technology innovation in medical devices is an important factor attracting private equity investment,” says Debbie Wong, the analyst of this research. “As companies continue to invest in R&D, medical devices are advancing, with improved features that aim to enhance patient quality of life.” Private equity investment grew by more than two folds during each year between 2003 and 2007. Investment trends will remain strong as medical devices companies continue to innovate and deliver safer and more advanced solutions.
However, private equity firms are wary of the challenges in the medical devices industry. They consider aspects of the market such as regulatory issues that potentially impact the cost of deployment and the competitive environment. “Private equity firms seek investment with an attractive return on investment,” remarks the analyst. “Essentially, medical devices products should be in a strong position to compete in the market and grow profitably as a company.”
