Market Analysis

Market Analysis

Internal medicine doctors are experts who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness. Many internists enter into practice following completion of their basic internal medicine training.  These physicians practice general internal medicine and are commonly referred to as “general internists.” Some internists choose to take additional training to "subspecialize" in a more focused area of internal medicine.

 The shortage of physicians in rural and remote areas provides opportunity for internal medicine to spread its reach to millions of patients and this widespread deployment of services will continue at a rapid pace in the future as well. In the latest research study, “Global Internal Medicine Market Outlook”, the analysts have studied the completeInternal mediicine industry  with and present focus on market segmentation, government initiatives and competitive landscape.

Physician Supply and Demand Through 2025: Key Findings

Physicians face bigger challenges than ever as demand for healthcare grows, including staff shortages and burnout, adoption of new technologies, and patients demanding more convenient care. As a result, more new physicians are choosing hospital employment over independent practice. At least 25% of hospital executives said this year they still plan to purchase more physician practices.

Paris is a mature market for medical equipment, and its high per capita income and sophisticated healthcare system translate into demand for a broad range of cutting-edge medical equipment. The for medical equipment and supplies is the fourth largest in Europe following Germany, France and the UK with about 4,480 companies (including 43% distributors, 53% producers and 4% service providers) and a workforce of 68,200. The medical device market (including dental and optical devices) was valued at approximately $8.7 billion in 2015 with imports accounting for $5.8 billion and is expected to grow by 1% in 2017 after a reduction of 0.8% in 2016. Aside from medical devices, consumable products represent the largest market segment (20.6%) followed by diagnostic imaging (16.1%) and patient aids (14.7%). The Italian government is the primary purchaser of medical equipment. Public hospitals account for over 75 percent of medical device sales, with the remaining 25 percent of sales to the private sector. Despite having a considerable local manufacturing industry, the domestic market for medical equipment is highly dependent on imports. Major suppliers include Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the United States, which had a 6.5% share of Italian imports, valued at $378 million in 2015. Major U.S. medical device imports to Italy include diagnostic imaging, dental and patient aids.

  
A significant number of U.S. manufacturers of medical equipment are present in the Italian health care market (about 60 companies with 5,700 employees and $2.7 billion domestic revenue). Some U.S. suppliers maintain wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy and sell equipment imported from the United States or from plants in other foreign countries. There are also a considerable number of U.S. companies represented by local importers and distributors. Since U.S. technology and standards are highly regarded and recognized, we believe that U.S. companies will maintain their excellent market position in the future. 
 

Unit: USD Millions

Leading Sub-Sectors

Medical Devices
The strongest sales potential for U.S. manufactured medical equipment exists in the following areas:  home care equipment, remote monitoring equipment, high frequency medical lasers (for multiple applications), endoscopes and diagnostic imaging equipment non-invasive and micro-surgery devices and equipment, anesthesiology equipment, EKG, stimulators and defibrillators, ophthalmic equipment, monitoring equipment, telemedicine equipment and services.  The Italian market is receptive to high quality and technologically advanced diagnostics as well as therapeutic equipment and products.

 
E-Health
The European e-Health market has an estimated value of $20 billion with an annual growth of 3 percent.  Considering that the demand for healthcare products and services will rise significantly in coming years, the information technology applied to the healthcare systems is a key enabler for delivering more effective and efficient health care. In Italy the ICT expenditure in healthcare is estimated at $1.4 billion corresponding to 1.2% of the total healthcare expenditures, which is less than many other developed countries which average 2.5-3%. Following slight growth of the ICT budget in 2014, expenditures in digital health declined in 2015 and the adoption of digital instruments in healthcare remains fragmented.

 eHealth Expenditure Trends in Italy (2016-2020)

According to data, the Italian eHealth expenditures over the public healthcare expenditures will likely reach 1.36% in 2020. Strategic areas which will see investments over the next three years include electronic health records, cloud computing, administrative management, digital management of drugs, e-Prescription, mobile health and business intelligence and clinical governance.

Requirements

It is up to the Italian national government to issue specific regulations governing the procurement of medical equipment. Recently the healthcare procurement system has been re-organized into 33 procurements centers. Most purchases are made by public tender and are open to both domestic and foreign companies. Announcements of tenders on public procurements are available on the National Procurement Center, CONSIP.
  
Medical device regulations for EU member states are governed by the following three EU medical device directives: Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (90/385/EEC), Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC) and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Directive (98/79/EEC). All medical devices marketed in the EU must bear the CE mark to certify conformity with EU law.  Member States have appointed certification authorities or "notified" bodies to grant these compliance certificates.  Proposals for two new regulations intended to replace the three EU medical device directives were published by the European Commission in September 2012 and information on the current approval status of the new regulations can be found on the European Commission website.
