Abstract

Research Overview

Large-scale Purchasing Orders Create Price Pressures for Medical Device Manufacturers

Due to restricted healthcare budgets and cost-containment strategies, healthcare providers are increasingly turning to large-scale purchasing of medical devices because it is more cost effective. Regional hospitals in most European countries are collaborating to gain better bargaining power and benefit from the economies of scale derived from bulk purchasing. In some countries, however, such strategies are confined to smaller hospital groups. While this method of purchasing holds many price advantages for healthcare providers, it is far from favourable for medical device manufacturers. Due to the growing trend of large-scale purchasing among hospitals, device manufacturers are left with no option but to review prices and make do with reduced profits in order to win purchasing contracts. This is currently a major challenge for all manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices in Europe.

Cost-containment Strategies Hinder Development of Innovative Products

As part of the prevailing cost-containment strategies, European hospitals are creating diagnostic-related groups (DRGs) that classify the patients' hospital stay according to their medical conditions. Each DRG has a reimbursement ceiling, compelling hospitals to rationalise patient treatment and ensure that all related costs are confined within this limit. While this system aims to contain costs, it also reduces the availability of extra funds that could have been used to procure new and innovative technology. This does not bode well for the industry as new technologies such as minimally invasive surgery are essential to ensure the constant evolution of patient care.

"The reimbursement system in place poses a threat to all medical device manufacturers," explains the analyst of this research service. "The ongoing financial reductions in the procurement of new technologies are likely to impact the development and innovation of the medical device industry and, more importantly, compromise the quality of healthcare provision for patients."

Rapid and Ongoing Innovation Could Lead to Obsolescence of Traditional Devices

Medical device manufacturers operate in a highly competitive environment. Innovations in medical devices are constantly being introduced and rapidly adopted, which poses a strong threat to traditional medical devices. For instance, the introduction of minimally invasive surgery and the growing uptake of stenting revolutionised the cardiology industry, but started adversely affecting the demand for conventional medical devices used in open-heart surgeries.

"Therefore, to sustain market leadership or dominate the industry, manufacturers need to differentiate their product offerings through ongoing and exciting innovations," says the analyst. "They will need to maintain a large product portfolio to ensure that business levels remain robust."
