Manufacturers are faced with the ever-present challenge of distinguishing themselves in an overcrowded market. Reimbursement changes, high bargaining power of customers and industry consolidation are revamping this market. Reduction in reimbursement has slowed product usage for several categories such as overlays, shifting many consumers to mattress replacements.
