Introduction – Medical Devices
• Under Section 3(b)(iv) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, a medical device is any instrument, apparatus, appliance, implant, in vitro reagent or calibrator, software, material or
other similar or related article
▪ The manufacturers of medical devices design and produce them for use as either single instruments, or in combination with others for diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, and/or
alleviation of diseases
• The medical devices sector in the country is growing steadily
▪ There are opportunities not just for Indian players, but also for foreign manufacturers
• The industry is supported by liberalized government policies and the provision for allowing up to 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) through the automatic route
• There is a high demand for advanced and specialized medical equipment due to the rapid growth of the luxury healthcare and medical tourism industries
▪ Demand for surgical instruments, prosthetic and orthopedic equipment, dental and orthodontic implants, electromedical equipment, cancer diagnostics, and imaging devices is high
• To capitalize on the business opportunities, several multinational companies (MNCs) are setting up their manufacturing units in the country

• Medical devices are classified based on their risk levels and intended use, and are divided into different classes
• The classification is on the basis of annex IX of schedule M-III provided by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board (DTAB)

Class A (low risk) Class B (low-moderate risk) Class C (moderate-high risk) Class D (high risk)
Devices such as thermometers and Instruments such as hypodermic needles and Apparatus for lung ventilator and bone Implants for heart valves and implantable
tongue depressors suction equipment fixation plate defibrillators

If a manufacturer wants to reclassify a device to a lower class, a justification must be submitted to the Central Licensing Approval Authority (CLAA) for evaluation. It should state that
the shift to the less stringent class will assure sufficient safety and effectiveness of the device

Key highlights
• In 2022, the global medical devices market in India was valued at INR 44,308.70 Bn
• It is expected to reach INR 56,770.09 Bn by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of ~5.54 % during the 2023 –2027 period
• Evolving behavior of consumers is driving the medical devices market
• Patients/consumers are becoming more proactive. They are actively involved with their healthcare providers in decision-making and are very accustomed to asking for the latest device
• Rising consumerism leads to preferences for devices or diagnostics that are more “user-friendly,” reliable, and built to last
• International trade also plays a significant role in the medical device industry. 35 to 40 percent of domestic US production is ultimately exported, and a similar share of domestic US
consumption is imported
• The largest export markets for US medical device companies have traditionally been the countries in the European Union and Japan. As of December 2022, the US is the largest single
market for medical devices and accounts for about 40% of worldwide sales
• Despite some major drivers of the market, more consumers are using technology for health monitoring and are willing to share their data
▪ Therefore, continuous change in medical devices has resulted in relentless downward pressure on pricing. Further uncertainty lies ahead, with the new EU device regulation in 2020 and price
capping imposed by the Indian government on essential medical devices

• The Indian medical device market is significantly smaller than other overseas markets. However, macroeconomic factors suggest a huge potential for double-digit growth in the Indian
medical device market
• Upcoming developments in the regulatory and policy framework are expected to accelerate growth of the Indian medical devices market
• Rising income levels, an ageing population, increased prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, and the government's commitment to provide healthcare services at a reasonable cost to
both the rural and urban population are some of the factors attracting domestic and global players in the Indian medical device market
• The Indian medical device sector is also characterized by import dependency and a highly fragmented domestic industry. Presently, imports are preferred over domestic manufacturing
mainly due to the inverted duty structure and the lack of favorable policy and regulatory framework
• Recent changes in foreign exchange regulations with respect to the medical device market has allowed 100% FDI in both greenfield and brownfield projects. This provides a great
opportunity for foreign players to enter the highly attractive Indian market

Market Challenges

Recalls and lawsuits

• In a market as diverse and demanding as the medical device sector, recalls and lawsuits are frequent
▪ Many times, the former preempts the latter. As they continue to iterate and innovate, many manufacturers recall old models as a precautionary measure—a move that costs
money yet could save time and cost more by avoiding a lawsuit
• Likewise, lawsuits are common in a market where definitive medical claims may draw scrutiny from the FDA and customer expectations are high
• Medical device manufacturers need to set and maintain patient and practitioner expectations to avoid litigation. Also, a better medical device approval process would
deescalate tension and safeguard both producers and consumers

Cybersecurity concerns

• As more and more devices become digital, cybersecurity concerns have increased rapidly
• Even something as simple as a Bluetooth-enabled device serves as an access point for data theft
• Device manufacturers now find themselves facing concerns about patient privacy and protection per HIPAA, which makes manufacturing smart devices more complex
and costly
• A staunch cybersecurity approach can add months to the development timeline, zeros to the production cost, and headaches when it comes to seeking approval from
regulators. In simpler terms, data security isn’t optional and it’s creating challenges for manufacturers

Market Challenges

Shallow penetration of medical devices

• Despite the significant growth of the medical devices market in India in the past few years, the market witnessed low penetration
• The growth of the medical devices industry is rapid, and the requirement comes chiefly from major cities
• Adoption of healthcare facilities remains low in rural areas, small cities, and towns due to lack of awareness, accessibility, and affordability
• Although heart diseases are a key concern, cardiac pacemaker penetration is lesser in India than western countries
• Besides, public healthcare infrastructure is disorganized and insufficient, with low investments in medical equipment
▪ As a result, access to healthcare is inadequate in rural areas
▪ Distribution of medical technology in these areas becomes a challenging task

Shortage of healthcare professionals and infrastructure

• Dearth of healthcare professionals and infrastructure is a major reason behind the under-penetration of the medical technology market
• According to the World Bank data, in 2019, India had only 0.9 physicians per 1,000 people
▪ India also had much lower doctor density than China and Brazil
• To extend the reach of healthcare solutions to remote areas, virtual doctors, as well as time-efficient medical technology solutions are needed
• Furthermore, the healthcare sector faces challenges in terms of infrastructure
▪ India has an estimated 1.1 beds per 1,000 people, which is far behind the 3.5 beds per 1,000 people as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO)
• The government spends only 1.3% of its GDP on the public healthcare sector
• Lack of trained professionals and clinical staff needed for installing, functioning, servicing, and repairing medical devices is a major limiting factor
• The hospital resources fall short on the number of people they are expected to serve
▪ In 2019, there were only 0.5 government hospital beds per 1,000 patients, while China and Brazil had 4.3 and 2.1 beds respectively per 1,000 patients
• Medical technology costs 30% – 40% of the total investment required to establish a tertiary care hospital and contributes to 20% – 25% in total healthcare costs to a
patient
• Thus, affordable medical technology is a crucial challenge in improving the health infrastructure

regulate various aspects of the medical electronics sector
▪ However, the medical devices market has no separate regulatory status in India, and Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) is mainly responsible for its
regulation
• Besides, regulatory changes such as price control of medical devices with steep price cuts lead to an environment of uncertainty
• Moreover, the medical technology market experiences inadequate quality standards, lack of tax incentives to promote indigenous manufacturing, and meagre
government funding to encourage innovation
• In the absence of industry-specific regulation, products of inferior quality have been introduced into the market, resulting in wider price and quality disparities within
the same product category
• There have been some cases of counterfeit products, for example, illegal reprocessing and re-packaging of syringes for re-sale, which creates serious risk for consumers

High reliance on imports

• The healthcare market does not have a manufacturing base of medical devices and technologies
• The market is reliant on imports for meeting its domestic needs
▪ Import constitutes nearly 75% of the medical technology market
• It is highly dependent on China for its electric components and raw materials such as orthopedic implants, bandages, syringes, gloves, computed tomography, and
magnetic resonance imaging devices
▪ In the wake of the pandemic, the medical products industry was severely impacted by the shortage of supply of critical medical devices
• The major challenge behind the lack of medical devices is the huge capital required for the expansion of the medical technology market
• While the healthcare industry is on a growth trajectory; the medical devices market has limited accessibility
• At the same time, while the medical technology market is highly import-dependent, 60% of indigenously manufactured components are exported
