Healthcare IT 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 52.5% of medical devices in 2020, compared with 54.47% in 2019. The number of devices at the In Approval stage inclined by 34% 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 Healthcare IT products activity
Comparing the number of pipeline Healthcare IT products activity in different regions of the globe, North America held the top position (64%) during 2020, followed by Europe (19%), and Asia-Pacific (14%).
On a country level, the US had the most pipeline Healthcare IT during the year, representing the largest share (64%) of Healthcare IT pipeline products. In second place was Japan (4%), followed by Australia (4%).
New pipeline Healthcare IT medical devices: Expected to be approved by 2025
According to GlobalData, approximately 52% of pipeline Healthcare IT 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 Clinical Decision Support Systems, 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.
