Medical Device Regulatory Affairs Market Worth $8.6 Billion By 2028

Medical Device Regulatory Affairs Market Growth & Trends

The global medical device regulatory affairs market size is expected to reach USD 8.6 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2021 to 2028. Technological advancements in medical devices such as AI/Machine learning, increasing trends of portable and smaller devices, and government regulations are driving the market.

Medical equipment regulation is a vast and rapidly changing field that is often complicated by legal challenges. Even within one regulatory framework, legal terms and their definitions are not always consistent. As technology expands, software, machine learning, and algorithms become an essential component of an increasing number of digital health resources. This presents new challenges as an increasing number of instruments fall under the regulatory framework.

Also, due to COVID-19, the global regulatory landscape is changing for all medical device companies. Exemptions have been granted by countries ranging from China to Australia and beyond. China has intensified the registration of medical protective clothing. Respirators, protective gear, thermometers, and surgical masks are exempt from registration requirements in Singapore. Australia exempts diagnostic, confirmatory testing, prevention, monitoring, and treatment devices. With these leverages, companies might be able to enter the market easily and start selling their equipment. This, in turn, can ease the burden on the regulatory affairs team.
