Active Implantable Medical Devices Market: Overview

An Active Implantable Medical Device (AIMD) is a medical device that is implanted entirely or partially into the human body for therapeutic or diagnostic reasons and is meant to stay there. Neurostimulators, cochlear implants, ventricular assist systems & devices, infusion pumps, defibrillators, and pacemakers, are all examples of AIMDs.

Implantable medical devices are the type of medical devices that are partially or totally inserted into the human body with the help of medical intervention and are dedicated to remaining there after the procedure. They can support the damaged part, can replace the missing part of the human body or also modify the important function of the body.

Active Implantable Medical Devices Market: Growth Drivers

Rising demand for active implantable medical devices is boosting the market growth

The need for active implantable devices has increased as the number of disorders and diseases has increased. These devices aid in the support or replacement of any injured bodily organs, as well as the enhancement and treatment of normal body functions. One of the most crucial aspects of patient care is an active implanted medical device. One of the key drivers of global active implantable medical device market growth is the increasing senior population. The functioning of numerous organs of the human body gradually deteriorates with age.

As a result, for movement and other help, humans must rely on a variety of medical gadgets. As a result, implantable devices are in high demand. Adults are affected by chronic ailments such as heart disease and arthritis, among others. One of the most frequent joint disorders in the United States is osteoarthritis (OA). It's also known as degenerative joint disease, and it affects the hands, hips, and knees the most. As a result of the country's rising elderly population, demand for orthopedic implants and reconstructive joint replacement is predicted to rise. All these factors are fostering market growth.

Active Implantable Medical Devices Market: Restraints

Device-related concerns to hinder the market growth.

Device-related concerns, such as network security and device failure, may impede market expansion. For instance, introducing a device into the human body may elicit an immune system from the surrounding tissues, resulting in performance deterioration, making long-term usage of these devices problematic. In addition to this, factors like less developed healthcare infrastructure in undeveloped countries, high cost of implants, and less awareness of medical devices in rural areas are restraining the market growth.

Active Implantable Medical Devices Market: Opportunities

Advancements in technology in the field of medical devices to boost the market during the forecast period.

Implantable medical devices are attracting more attention than ever before. Recently, the prospect of long-term and secure implantation in the human body without hazardous product release or device destruction by bodily fluids has appeared. Strengthening their portfolios and investing in technical improvements are two strategies used by device makers to increase revenue. Continuous advancements in electrode, packaging, microelectronics, and biomedical signal processing technology have fueled the development of active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) that transmit data and power through wireless telemetry. In addition to this, producers of AIMDs are making an investment in improving hydrolysis resistance, strength, implant stability, and radiolucency in MRIs, CT scans, & X-rays and the effects of ionizing radiation without imaging aberrations. All such factors are likely to create several opportunities for the global active implantable medical devices market growth during the forecast period.

Active Implantable Medical Devices Market: Challenges

Strict regulatory controls for medical devices to pose major challenge for the market growth

Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMDs) are one of the most high-risk device types, requiring stringent regulatory oversight before reaching global markets. Both active implantable medical devices and their accessories are categorized as Class III, requiring the strictest regulatory control. Pre- and post-market, AIMDs are subject to stringent effective regulation. The MDR's regulatory requirements also apply to any accessories that are required for the device to function properly, including software programs, refill kits, programmers, leads, implant kits, controllers, and battery packs. Such strict regulations for AIMD pose a major challenge for the market expansion.
