MD&M West continues to grow to keep pace with demands of the burgeoning medical device manufacturing market. Every year, this $112 billion sector has consistently posted double-digit revenue gains at enviable profit margins. Key medical products in the major sectors of surgical instrumentation, electromedical implants, electronic medical equipment, interventional products, combination products, and orthopedic implants and instruments are experiencing these double-digit annual increases, and the growth of this high technology industry accelerates as “baby boomers”–representing one-third of the U.S. population–continue to age.
As an MD&M exhibitor, you will meet with decision makers responsible for the design and production of billions of dollars in medical products. Join nearly 1,500 OEM suppliers who have targeted the medical manufacturing industry as an essential part of their marketing mix. If you are an OEM supplier of raw materials, software, manufacturing equipment, components, subassemblies, or contract services, and you want to sell into the medical manufacturing industry– MD&M is the show for you.
This fast growth domestic manufacturing sector dominates the world market. U.S. medical manufacturers currently produce 50% of all medical products consumed worldwide. Unlike other manufacturing sectors, the medical device sector remains unaffected by global outsourcing. Heavy R&D investment, constant innovation, and regulatory and liability issues keep medical manufacturing a dominant U.S. enterprise.
