Medical Device Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2023

The top medical device companies are a vital component of the overarching life science industry, as well as a major force in treating many diseases and conditions.

The global medical device market was valued at US$577.26 billion in 2022, with the United States accounting for nearly US$200 billion of that figure. Globally, the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.5 percent to reach US$850 billion in 2030.

Growth in the global medical device industry is tied to the rapid rise of an aging population, increased infectious and chronic diseases, as well as technological advancements in both the field of life science and in emerging technologies such as 3D printing, robotics and the internet of things.

Of course, the sector’s growth wouldn’t be possible without the top medical device companies working on the development of devices for a variety of therapeutic areas across established and emerging markets.

It has products in a variety of areas, including cellular analysis, synthetic biology and molecular biology.

Last year, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched its scalable CE-IVD-marked molecular Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select Panel, which can return results in as little as three hours. Using polymerase chain reaction technology, the assay panel is designed to detect five common respiratory viruses associated with bronchiolitis, influenza, the common cold and pneumonia.

This medical device manufacturer also makes medical devices for the diabetes market, including blood glucose meters that provide accurate results and make the testing process easier.

SCIEX is also a pioneer in capillary electrophoresis. In 2022, the company launched two important analytical technologies: the SCIEX OS software v3.0 and the RNA 9000 Purity & Integrity kit. The latter is for the BioPhase 8800 system and PA 800 Plus system.

4. Medtronic (NYSE:MDT)
