According to market research firm Espicom expects 2010 global medical equipment market will exceed 200 billion US dollars, of which, medical electronics will account for 45 per cent, reaching 90 billion US dollars. Huge market prospects and the return of stability to attract investment in a large number of vendors, from semiconductor manufacturers to EMS, OEM companies, have been waiting from the medical electronics market in the gold mining.
Multiple factors propelled medical electronics
The medical electronics market, and advances in technology, health needs, lower prices and return stability to the market multiple factors continue to forge ahead, as more and more semiconductor manufacturers to join them, medical semiconductor market also appears to be higher than the global semiconductor the average market growth momentum of development.
Health needs of growth and the development of technology has complementary relationship. As the United States Microchip Technology Inc. (Microchip) Medical Products Group senior strategy and product marketing manager SteveKennelly said: "Now, medical electronics equipment market is undergoing an unprecedented rapid development. These two aspects of technical innovation has become not to be ignored driving force behind the other hand, the biomedical research in the area of human physiology declassified and made tremendous progress, and confirmed the potential for a new type of diagnostic equipment, on the other hand, the development of electronic technology to help people create successful these new equipment. Therefore, the medical Application to become the fastest growing semiconductor market as one of the areas. "
The semiconductor industry's technological advances to help medical electronics industries are rapidly developing an important factor. Market research firm Gartner Asia Pacific semiconductor research group, chief economist at XU Yong-that the past 10 years, rapid development of semiconductor technology. Standard integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices such as the development and diversification of products in the field of medical electronics to medical applications in the electronics industry - a mature stage. The arrival of the stage there were two trends First, the prices of medical electronic products declined, making affordable by the common people; Second, developing countries have a medical electronics product manufacturing technology to further promote medical electronics product prices decline.
At the same time, medical electronics market of the requirements of high security. XU Yong-said that the certification from the product development cycle to a very long, unlike toys, consumer electronics and other products, if there are problems, would have to assume great responsibilities. Therefore, the medical electronics market is a stable market, which unlike the consumer electronics products as quickly and easily created a bubble burst, Sphygmomanometer although the industry's longer-term investment returns, but it may provide for participants than other commercial areas more stable and more lasting return.
Portable medical products into popular
Databeans company said the global ageing of the population, and raising people's standard of living in remote areas of medical factors such as increased demand for services is prompting changes in the traditional medical methods, mobile and portable medical gradually became the key to the electronics industry. On the other hand, semiconductor technology to promote the development of the pace of medical innovation at an unprecedented pace forward in the fast-handling, high-precision analog-digital conversion and wireless networks driven by technological advances, medical and portable electronic products to the small to become a reality .
At present, portable medical electronics equipment market has been in a double-digit growth, this trend will continue.
Portable electronic equipment consists of medical diagnostic equipment, drug delivery devices, personal care products and imaging system in this part of the four major applications, including Sphygmomanometer cholesterol, blood, blood pressure testing, or glucose, pulse oxygen meter, AED, insulin injection pens, Digital hearing aids, CT scanners and X-ray detector and other products. Among them, the family is expected to account for 50 percent of the market around, in the remaining 50%, imaging products accounted for 25% of the diagnosis or treatment of other electronic products accounted for 25 per cent.
Stability, high accuracy, is the ability of anti-portable medical electronics on the key requirements of semiconductor devices.
