Recent Home Medical Electronic Equipment Market
To maintain good health must be to rely on a doctor
? With advances in technology, medical practice is out of the hospital, turn to the Internet home for modern medical practices and medical equipment market is facing great changes.
21 century and the most development potential star industry
According to market research firm Databeans forecasts to 2011 medical electronics with semiconductor output to more than 4 billion U.S. dollars, to the fastest growing domestic market, the average annual growth rate of 12%. Other research institutions BCCResearch the latest survey report also pointed out that the global market size of home medical equipment, from 14.6 billion in 2007 to 2012 grew to 20.4 billion U.S. dollars, the annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach 6.8%. Assisted rehabilitation, treatment devices, surveillance / sensors and telemetry devices into the medical market, the bulk of household electronics, light to blood glucose meter run in 2007, over 70 billion-dollar, and by 2012 will grow to 8.9 billion U.S. dollars ; and healthy home medical devices, estimated growth of 25% more on a large scale.

Source: BCCResearch2007 in October Lively global medical electronics market, influenced by the following trends: (1) aging of the population. (2) developed and developing countries improve health care for people's expectations rise. (3) insurance companies and employers to pay medical expenses and insurance coverage is gradually diminishing, however, patients need to pay the insured or the cost is increasing. (4) rapidly changing technology can be relatively mild symptoms for many diseases, for early analysis, prevention and treatment.
Where population aging is to promote the development of the main home medical electronics, is one of the problems facing the whole world. According to United Nations reports that the year 2000 the elderly population in the world of 6 billion people is estimated to increase to 2.0 billion by 2050, the proportion of elderly population will reach 21%. The largest population of China, also will have the largest elderly population. According to National Bureau of Statistics data show that in 2007 the population aged 65 and above account for the proportion of the total population of 8.1% estimated by 2025 the elderly population from the current 100 000 000 4 1 000 6 million, 9 million to 200 million people.
BCC analysis also pointed out that if a regional view of home sales in the percentage of medical electronics market, the United States and Canada is now the largest and fastest growing market, the global market share 34.2%; while drugs and medical devices total output value of pharmaceutical products in their respective half of the European Union accounted for 28.9%; include other Chinese, including 20 developing countries accounted for 22.8% market share (Figure 1).
From the sick to see a doctor before the treatment, prevention of disease prevention, fueled by electronic technology, health, medicine, school of learning in the future. Not only large hospitals with Therapeutic Equipment Gradually toward a portable, economical home rehabilitation device direction, for example, automatic external defibrillator (AutomatedExternalDefibrillator, AED), fertility monitor (FertilityMonitoringDevice), etc.; each family would be family health and health care as necessary investment, purchasing home medical electronic equipment like televisions and refrigerators and other home appliances shopping as usual.
The above factors, medical and electronic equipment for home by the U.S. magazine "Fortune" predict the first decade of the 21st century, most potential industry first, has become the focus of the semiconductor market to penetrate.
Active semiconductor manufacturers Home medical electronics market currently the major suppliers, including Johnson & Johnson (Johnson & Johnson), Roche Diagnostics (RocheDiagnostics) and Bayer HealthCare (BayerHealthcare) the three leading, and have more than 10% market share , which Johnson also 37% market share steadily holds the first place. In recent years, the global semiconductor, hardware and software representation of frequent movement of large companies, vertical integration of the planned investment, including Microsoft, Intel, Philips and other manufacturers have begun to move focus to consumer medical electronics market in the hope that cut into the original high-tech and cost advantages of a closed health care industry, the situation gradually different. Intel set up the number of medical
first division (DigitalHealthGroup), and with the Microchip Technology (Microchip) announced the establishment of the medical products division, then the manufacturer with medical devices Cooperation , Been published related to the sensor chip for medical use and technology; TI in early 2007, in its high-performance analog business group set up under the care / high-reliability product line, focused on all the related products used in medical electronics; Philips Asia-Pacific in Singapore's first medical diagnostic equipment, learning centers, and strengthen the Asia-Pacific region advanced medical care input; while South Korea's Samsung Group, Samsung Seoul Hospital, Samsung Electronics is widely used self-developed health care system.
Semiconductor manufacturers now dwell in medical applications, including transplanting equipment (cardiac rhythm management, neural stimulation, drug delivery, bariatric therapy), portable devices (diagnostic imaging, oxygen therapy and patient monitoring), household equipment (physical monitor, Disease Management , rehabilitation, compliance monitoring, medical information terminals), and safety equipment (authentication of consumables, data confidentiality), and wireless technologies (such as Bluetooth and IrDA) and RFID.
As soon as possible to enter the medical market, Intel, Samsung Electronics, Texas Instruments, Matsushita, Motorola, Philips and other manufacturers, also set open industry alliance ContinuaHealthAlliance, hopes to build unified effort to solve the interoperability problem and reduce development costs, improve the quality of health care technology. The coalition outlined, including fitness, disease management and elderly care systems market perspective, that these systems will be interconnected through the PC, mobile phones and digital TV connected to the network, expected to launch the first end of the year associated with interoperability merchandise.
Based on professional research Databeans latest report, the medical semiconductor market by 2007, Toshiba, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments and other manufacturers are exclusive. However, with the emerging demand for more, more other sub-suppliers are gradually eating piece of market pie (Table 1). As the product design for smaller size, lower power requirements and higher speeds to improve, so sensors, power ICs, data converters and other electronics to the medical needs of the largest semiconductor devices; the signal conditioning and processing, interface, and wireless technology , for the most read
