REPORT INTRODUCTION
Strong growth in the consumer medical devices market is forecast, driven by
the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing awareness of health
and wellness and the telehealth initiatives to enable remote doctor-patient
monitoring. This growth is driving the market for the semiconductors and
components used within these devices. Requirements for easier usability,
painless operation, data logging & transmission and multifunction applications
are pushing the development of new designs which will demand a greater or more
complex semiconductor & component content.
The Worldwide Market for Semiconductors Used in Consumer Medical Devices -
2008 also has a companion report entitled "The Consumer Medical Devices
Yearbook". This provides detailed information on the consumer medical end
equipment markets, covering the following areas:
- Revenue, unit shipment and ASP data
- Market analysis of 9 different product types
- Regional market size statistics
- Market share analysis
- Company profiles of the major suppliers
