Worldwide Medtech vs. Prescription Drug Sales (2009-2022)

October 6, 2017  Source: evaluategroup 1,093

Worldwide prescription drug market only forecast to grow at a marginally faster rate than the medtech market. Evaluate consensus forecasts find that the worldwide market for prescription drugs is set to narrowly outperform the medical device market with a 5.2% market growth per year between 2016 and 2022, versus a 5.1% growth rate per year for medical devices.

Overall, in 2022, the medtech industry will be 50.0% of the size of the prescription drug market, not showing much variation from 2016. Both industries returned to growth in dollar terms in 2016 after contracting in 2015 as a result of the weakness in the Euro, as US companies recognised fewer dollars for sales in the Eurozone.
