The global medical device testing services market size is expected to reach USD 16.78 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.44% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing complexity in product design and stringent government regulations are driving demand for medical device testing services.
Significant rise in preclinical spending is a recent trend among pharmaceutical and medical device companies, which is expected to significantly contribute to market growth. According to the global health center, for pharmaceuticals, supporting preclinical research required 73 months and cost USD 7 million for biologics, it took 47 months and cost USD 6.3 million.
With modern medical devices offering a host of complex functions, the need for 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 competitive advantage to manufacturers.
On the other hand, an increase in the need for production efficiency and safety and rising regulatory requirements for medical devices are some of the major factors driving the market growth. Regulatory bodies such as the European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Therapeutic Goods Administration, and other country regulatory bodies require documentation and testing to certify that medical devices meet efficacy and safety standards prior they can be sold and marketed to patients and healthcare providers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for medical device testing services. This is largely due to the increasing demand for COVID-10 related products such as masks, PPE, & respiratory equipments. 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.
