Medtech Is Healthy; Expert Encourages Greater Use of AM A medical technology (medtech) industry analyst says additive manufacturing will play a key role in that industry's future growth. U.S.- and Europe-based medtech companies performed well in 2016, with the market increasing by 5 percent to $364.4 billion, after a 3-percent decline in 2015, according to the Pulse of the Industry medtech-industry report by Ernst & Young (EY) LLP. Reasons for the uptick, as cited by the report, include mergers and acquisitions, increased availability of financing for startups, and research and development (R&D) investments. However, to achieve sustainable growth, medtech companies must do more, says Pamela Spence, EY global life sciences industry leader. "They need to balance internal R&D investments with innovations in the new, connected economy, such as additive manufacturing, augmented reality and artificial intelligence, so that their R&D bets deliver a lasting, competitive edge," Spence explains. "Embracing the fourth industrial revolution, which fuses the physical, digital and biological, is a current, not future, imperative." |
