Medical technology plays a role in the lives of everyone. It includes most of all, medical devices which simplify the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and illnesses. The most well-known medical technology products are, among others, pacemakers, imaging instruments, dialysis machines, and implants. The global medical technology industry was worth over 567 billion U.S. dollars annually. Established centers of this industry include North America and Western Europe. The United States is home to the world’s largest medical technology companies. As of 2022, Abbott Laboratories had the largest global revenue at over 31.2 billion U.S. dollars. The main focus of devices manufactured by the Chicago-based company are diagnostics, cardiovascular, and diabetes care. Two other medtech companies that round off the top three largest companies –Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson – are both based in the United States. Although, industry trends show that Asia, and in particular China, is about to play a more prominent role in the years to come.
