Artificial Intelligence Integration and Medical Devices Miniaturization to Drive Transformational Growth

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, medical technology (medtech) registered significant investment in R&D. However, the investment trend declined post-pandemic but is gradually picking up momentum. Top medtech companies invest about 7% to 8% of their total revenues toward the R&D of novel products or to enhance existing products. The key sources for medtech R&D investments are corporate budgets, venture capital and private equity firms, government grants, public funding, and partnerships and collaborations.

This Frost & Sullivan research on medtech R&D investment covers growth drivers and restraints; analysis of M&A deals, including the top deals in 2022; regional analysis; analysis of external factors impacting medtech R&D investment; predictions for the next decade; and key growth opportunities for companies.

The study focuses on cardiology and neurology as two top therapy areas covering key technological trends involved with significant R&D investments, including recent ones, and major M&A activities.

Investments in cardiology are focused on advanced AI-based diagnostic tools, implant miniaturization, remote patient monitoring, and minimally invasive techniques for surgery.

Investments in neurology are focused on innovation in neuromodulation devices, implants, and wearable monitoring devices.
