North America has established itself as the dominant regional market for portable medical electronic products. The region is expected to hold a market share of 40.3% in 2024. Home to major industry players like Medtronic, GE Healthcare, and Philips Healthcare, North America has a strong presence across the value chain from manufacturing to distribution. Regulatory standards in the U.S. and Canada are robust which ensures the reliable quality of devices. With rising healthcare spending per capita, the demand for personal healthcare devices is high in the region as consumers increasingly take preventive measures and self-monitor chronic conditions. Given the consolidation of manufacturers and distributors, pricing for medical devices across therapy areas tend to be stable in North America.
The Asia Pacific region, especially China and India, represents the fastest growing market for portable medical electronics globally. Having a combined population of over 2.6 billion, the rising burden of non-communicable diseases and expanding middle class are driving demand. Local manufacturing is encouraged through favorable policies. Multiple global players have established manufacturing facilities in these emerging nations to cater to the regional needs as well as export opportunities globally. Trade agreements with North America and Europe have opened up new export markets. Local companies in Asia Pacific are also emerging as innovators in affordable medical device technologies that address the needs of value conscious consumers. However, quality certification and intellectual property protection remain areas that need further strengthening for the region to maximize its potential.
