The Medical device industry has witnessed explosive growth in recent years. 
the global market was worth $266.0bn in 2011. Much of this growth is linked to 
the rising prevalence of a number of diseases worldwide; most notably in cardiac 
and neurological systems. After the negative effects the recession had on 
healthcare budgets in 2009, the medical device industry began to recover owing 
to patient demographics, physician adoption and patient demand. The medical 
device industry is one of the largest and fastest growing areas of the medical 
and pharmaceutical industries.  
 
 
 
 
            
        
          
        
          
        

 
The demand for advanced wound care products is expected to rise over the next 10 
years, driven by an increase in chronic wounds. This can be attributed to an 
aging population and an increase in lifestyle related disorders such as diabetes 
and obesity. predicts the total advanced wound care market to be worth $16.3bn 
in 2023.  The move from traditional wound care treatment to advanced wound 
care started in the mid 80's, with more and more advanced products coming in to 
the market. Clinicians and patients now prefer advanced wound care products over 
traditional products, as they are more efficient in wound healing and reduce 
hospital stays. While moist wound care products currently dominate the market, 
wound care devices and biologics are witnessing strong growth. More companies, 
both multinationals and smaller companies are investing in R&D to make their 
product lines stronger. However, the growth will depend on more clinical 
evidence becoming available.

Consumer spending on pets to reach $31.7 billion in 2016
US spending on pet health products and services at the consumer level is 
expected to reach $31.7 billion in 2016. Manufacturers’ level pet health product 
demand is forecast to increase 4.6 percent annually to $5.6 billion that year. 
Advances in expenditures will be encouraged by the continuing trend of 
humanizing companion animals and their perception as family members, as well as 
by growth in the overall pet population. Veterinary technology will continue to 
adapt diagnostic and treatment techniques from human health care, stimulating 
value gains for newer, more costly procedures.  While the US pet health 
industry has traditionally been regarded as being “recession-resistant,” 
spending was somewhat impacted by the 2007-2009 US economic recession. However, 
demand did not experience declines during this time, as health care is a 
necessary -- and, to some degree, expected -- expenditure for pet owning 
households.

Revenues for the Elder care services industry (i.e., skilled nursing, home 
health care, social services, continuing care, and assisted living) are expected 
to grow 5.2 percent per year through 2016 to $319.5 billion. Advances will be 
driven largely by demographic changes in light of increasing life expectancy, 
which is contributing to the rising number of individuals in the older 
population segments. Growth is further boosted by the large, post-World War II 
“baby boom” generation entering their retirement years.
