April 6, 2016 | MarketwiredEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Medical device is any software, instrument, material, apparatus or appliance whether it is used in combination or alone including the software intended by its manufacturer to be used specifically for therapeutic purposes. According to the classification of the device, medical device manufacturing needs a level of process control. Furthermore, the manufacturing work is now growing much faster coupled with the support of modeling platforms.
United States market is the major market for medical devices with contribution of $110 million. This industry is anticipated to reach out $133 billion by 2016. In 2012, the U.S. market value signifies around 38% of the total demand. This will impact the growth of medical devices market in America.
Department of commerce identified that U.S. exports of medical devices is the major product category. The segment exceeded over $44 billion in the year 2012. There are over 6,500 medical device firms in the U.S. These are mostly medium and small sized enterprises. In addition, almost 80 percent of medical device firms have less than 50 employees. These firms have little or no sales revenue which indirectly affects the market.
Medical device companies are mostly rigorous in areas known for biotechnology and microelectronics. In addition, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, New York Illinois and California are the states with highest number of medical device companies. The regions also hold competitive benefits in many industries that the medical device depends on. These industries are biotechnology, microelectronics, instrumentation and telecommunications.
Collaborations have resulted in recent advances such as biomarkers, neuro-stimulators, implantable electronic devices and stent technologies. The medical devices market in Americas is projected to be fueled by diagnosing and treating medical problems.
The tax not placed from U.S. medical device producers promotes firms to decrease resources for manufacturing expansion and is a shortcoming against foreign competitors. In addition, cost of compliance for manufactures has increased owing to rising regulatory scrutiny in the region.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
