Medical Device Manufacturing in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Saving lives: Consolidation activity will be spurred by large companies acquiring new technology

Canadian medical device manufacturers have endured volatile performance through the current period. Given the essential nature of medical devices, higher total health expenditure and the Canadian dollar's depreciation were boons for manufacturers. While steady demand from the healthcare sector and an aging population often insulates manufactures from large economic fluctuations, the pandemic created notable disruptions; healthcare providers shifted resources to battle the pandemic, contributing to an overall drop in revenue. Ongoing supply chain issues for key components of medical devices, especially semiconductors, also weighed on performance. As the broader economy and healthcare sector recovers, medical device manufacturers will swiftly rebound. Revenue contracted at an expected CAGR of 0.7% to $6.5 billion through the current period, despite a 3.7% rally in 2023 as demand for medical devices recovers. The industry primarily comprises manufacturers of electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, such as magnetic resonance imaging equipment, medical ultrasound equipment, pacemakers, hearing aids, electrocardiographs and electromedical endoscopic equipment. The industry also manufactures environmental controls and regulators, signal testing apparatus, drafting instruments, industrial process control instruments and surveying and geophysical instruments.
