Medical Equipment & Supplies: United States

ABOUT THIS REPORT

Scope & Method

This report forecasts US medical equipment and supplies demand and shipments in US
dollars at the manufacturers level to 2018. Total demand is segmented in terms of:

surgical appliances and supplies

surgical and medical instruments
electromedical equipment
dental equipment and supplies
ophthalmic goods
irradiation equipment.

To illustrate demand trends in units, total demand is also forecast to 2018 in real terms
at 2013 prices.
Pharmaceuticals, contrast agents and other consumables for in-vivo imaging tests, and
in-vitro diagnostic substances are excluded from the scope of this report.
To illustrate historical trends, total demand in nominal and real dollars is provided in
an annual series from 2003 to 2013; shipments and the various demand segments are
reported at five-year intervals for 2008 and 2013. Forecasts emanate from the
identification and analysis of pertinent statistical relationships and other historical
trends/events as well as their expected progression/impact over the forecast period.
Changes in quantities between reported years of a given total or segment are typically
provided in terms of five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of
brevity, forecasts are generally stated in smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the
forecast year, such as demand is projected to rise 3.2% annually through 2018. The
result of any particular year over that period, however, may exhibit volatility and depart
from a smoothed, long-term trend, as historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
