Medical Device Testing Services Market Growth & Trends

The global medical device testing services market is expected to reach USD 22.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.Increasing complexity in product design and stringent government regulations are driving demand for the medical device testing services. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for medical device testing services in 2020, and the trend was expected to continue in 2021. The majority of medical equipment being tested is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

A significant rise in preclinical spending is a recent trend among pharmaceutical and medical device companies, which is expected to significantly contribute to market growth. As per the survey carried out by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations in 2017, around USD 149.8 billion is spent on preclinical trials, every year.

With modern medical devices offering a host of complex functions, the need for the appropriate tests to check the compliance of the device with regulatory requirements is becoming vital. In order to meet the requirement of enhanced accuracy, ease of use, and durability, medical devices need to undergo extensive tests. This is expected to deliver a competitive advantage to the manufacturers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for medical device testing services in 2020. This is largely due to the increasing demand for COVID-19-related products such as masks, PPE, & respiratory equipment. Besides, countries such as Mexico, Spain, and France have published pertinent specifications and standards, namely the UNE 0064-1, UNE 0064-2, AFNOR-SPEC-S76 & UNE 0065, which must be met until a mask can be sold.
