Industry Insights:
Trends in The Machinery Industry
The medical industry is an industry that is reaping the rewards of technological advancements in recent years. Taking advantage of app developments, for example, has increased the ability of medical device companies to collect insights from the data of their consumers remotely. Thus, the days of medical devices only being large, chunky objects is over. Companies are innovating the way they interact with their consumers.
There are eight emerging trends in the industry you should know about:
Handheld Care: As mentioned above the rise of tech advancements, specifically app development, has allowed medical device companies to come up with exciting ways in which consumers can receive their care. Instead of the consumers having to go to the companies, the companies are fitting themselves in the consumer’s hands - literally.
Cybersecurity Issues: According to MedicalDevice.com, by 2020 the internet-connected healthcare products will be worth $285bn to the industry. However, there are concerns about the safety of this connectivity. In 2014, 85% of healthcare companies reported security breaches and 18% of those cost these companies more than $1m to rectify, according to a PricewaterhouseCooper’s report. Finding a solution to this problem is of paramount importance to these companies.
Mergers: 2015 saw a flurry of mergers between medical device copanies and the rends show that this is due to continue in 2016.
Who knows, maybe one of CommissionCrowd’s companies will be apart of such a merger.
