The medical device market is a thriving segment of the healthcare industry in India. Rise in the number of hospitals and increasing requirement of healthcare facilities on account of the changing demographics and increasing lifestyle diseases is creating a need for medical devices of all types ranging from simple instruments to the most sophisticated devices and equipments that work on complex mechanisms.

The market for surgical instruments is also showing the same trend and is growing at a steady pace.

The market is also not import dependent unlike in the case of most other devices but is an export earner. The growing target base of consumers is expected to boost sales and the market is expected to exhibit steady growth in future.
