The medical device safety testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.05 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of connected and software-driven devices, tightening global regulatory frameworks, increasing investment in medical device R&D, rising demand for faster market approvals, expansion of testing needs for innovative device technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for regulatory compliance testing, expansion of software and cybersecurity testing scope, growing complexity of connected and smart medical devices, increased outsourcing of safety testing services, harmonization of global medical device safety standards.
The rising prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases is expected to drive the growth of the medical device safety testing market in the coming years. Lifestyle-related diseases are health conditions mainly caused by an individual’s daily habits and choices, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, certain cancers, and mental health disorders. The incidence of lifestyle-related diseases is growing due to physical inactivity, which contributes to weight gain, poor cardiovascular health, and reduced insulin sensitivity, thereby increasing the risk of chronic illnesses. Medical device safety testing aids in managing lifestyle-related diseases by ensuring the reliability and performance of diagnostic and therapeutic devices. It improves patient safety and treatment outcomes by confirming that devices comply with regulatory standards, enhancing trust and efficiency in contemporary healthcare. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service, a UK-based government agency, reported that 3,615,330 individuals registered with a general practitioner (GP) were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes in 2023, representing an 18% rise from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. Thus, the growing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases is fueling the expansion of the medical device safety testing market.
