Report Scope

This study provides an updated review of PMEP technology, including basic design and fabrication process, and identifies current and emerging applications for this technology. 

BCC Research determines the current market status of portable medical electronic products, defines trends, and presents growth forecasts for the next five years.  The PMEP industry is also analyzed on a global basis from the standpoint of both manufacturing and consumption.  In addition, technological issues, including key events and the latest process developments, are discussed. 

More specifically, BCC’s market analysis is divided into eight sections.

In the first section, a historical review of PMEP technology is provided, including an outline of recent events.  The report also offers a description of current and emerging applications for portable medical electronic products.

The second section provides a technological review of PMEP design, components, and their fabrication process.  This section concludes with an analysis of the most important technological developments and improvements since 2010, including examples of significant patents recently applied for or issued.  

The third section entails a global market analysis of PMEPs.  Global revenues (sales data in millions of dollars) are presented by application, degree of portability, end–user, and region, with actual data referring to the years 2010 and 2011, and estimates for 2012.  This section concludes with a presentation of market growth trends, based on industry growth, technological trends, healthcare trends, and regional trends.  Projected revenues for portable medical electronic products are reported, with forecast compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) for the period 2012 through 2017. 

Next, three optional sections are offered.  These sections provide a more focused discussion of the PMEP market for the three main segments in which PMEPs find application: diagnosis and testing, therapy, and first–aid and others.  In these optional sections, additional segment details on products, current market breakdowns, industry growth, and key trends and developments are provided, in addition to a market summary for the last three years and growth projections for the next five years.  Market data are organized by product, degree of portability, end–user, and region for each segment evaluated.
