Diagnostic Imaging development activity: Advanced stage of development leads
Devices at an advanced stage of development (in clinical trials, in the approval process, already approved in Europe or the rest of the world) accounted for 42.54% of medical devices in 2020, compared with 43.87% in 2019. The number of devices at the In Approval stage declined by 12% in 2020, when compared with 2019.
The In Approval stage is considered to be the period where the manufacturer is waiting for final approval from regulators, following completion of the required development steps.
A decrease in products awaiting approval would indicate less new products entering the market in the coming months, while an increase indicates more devices entering the market, posing a market share threat to existing marketed devices.
North America tops pipeline Diagnostic Imaging products activity
Comparing the number of pipeline Diagnostic Imaging products activity in different regions of the globe, North America held the top position (66%) during 2020, followed by Europe (20%), and Asia-Pacific (12%).
On a country level, the US had the most pipeline Diagnostic Imaging during the year, representing the largest share (76%) of Diagnostic Imaging pipeline products. In second place was Japan (4%), followed by Canada (3%).
New pipeline Diagnostic Imaging medical devices: Expected to be approved by 2025
According to GlobalData, approximately 40% of pipeline Diagnostic Imaging in 2020 were expected to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2025. The leading categories for devices expected to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2025 was MRI Coils, at 1% of devices. Differences in regulatory approval timelines reflect the stage of development for a device, the device complexity or risk categorization (or device class) or if there are changes in regulatory oversight.
