Chapter Chapter 3 in Medtech, 2022, pp 49-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter continues the general overview of the medtech industry, this time using a ranking of the top 100 largest firms in 2014, published by the professional publication Medical Design & Outsourcing. For each firm, the ranking includes data about gross sales, profit, R&D spending, and number of employees. The ranking is supplemented by several other sources detailing the historical development of these companies. It is thus possible to discuss what kinds of firms (large diversified multinationals, large specialized medtech firms, family firms, and start-ups) dominated the global medtech industry in 2014 and how they were able to build competitive advantages (through M&A, in-house R&D, diversification, spin-offs, etc.).
