Medical device outlook 2023-2026
Medical devices – the technologies that help prevent, diagnose, or treat diseases and illnesses – are an indispensable part of worldwide healthcare services.
With a recent report valuing the global industry at 750 billion AUD, medical device revenue has been increasing steadily alongside new IPO activity since 2013. Although most major medical device manufacturers such as Medtronic, Abbott, or Johnson & Johnson are based in the US, Australia’s own medical device manufacturing industry is worth over 5 billion AUD.
The medical devices industry’s strongest subsectors are in vitro diagnostics, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and orthopaedics; prominent examples from each of these respective industries include blood glucose monitors, pacemakers, MRI machines, and joint replacements. Other strongholds of industry exist outside of these major sub sectors as well – reports suggest that demand for surgical robots is estimated to reach nearly 20 billion AUD in 2025 due to greater widespread adoption.
We are proud to be able to deliver a full range of recruitment services for the medical technology industry. From our many years of operation in the sector, we can put you in touch with a large network of highly skilled and experienced professionals.
