“The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted issues
with supply chains around the world. As medtech companies prepare for the next normal, they have a mandate to rebuild their supply chains with resilience as a new priority.”

(McKinsey Global Institute)

A McKinsey research shows that disruptions
in the supply chain in the next 10 years will
cause a loss of 38% of one year’s earnings.

Annual growth declined in 2020 with -3.2%
but is expected to reach 6,1% in 2021

Industry outlook
“The medical devices industry is heavily controlled, with laws, regulations and government bodies ensuring high standards
of quality and safety, from manufacturing
right through to the end user.”

“Significant challenges, for government policymakers seeking to support export competitiveness in overseas markets “
