Description

The global medical power supply market size was valued at USD 1,086.7 million in 2021. It is estimated to reach USD 1,798.4 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.5% from 2022 to 2030. Medical power supplies produce conditioned outputs for the medical devices, instruments, and equipment. They are built to satisfy stringent safety standards, which cover medical and dental equipment intended for professional use. Medical power supplies also typically require longer design cycles than commercial devices, and designers often require more design support from the power supply vendor. They tend to have a longer life expectancy, meaning they typically need to be supported by the vendor for many years.

Power supplies are categorized by the mechanism used to convert and transfer the input power to the output power. The categories comprise Linear power supplies and Switching power supplies for medical power supplies. The miniaturization of medical electronics is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This trend applies to all electronic equipment, but the pressure to reduce size and weight is greatest in the medical field. This is creating pressure on the power supply manufacturers primarily to reduce the size of their products.

Global Medical Power Supply Market Definition

A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. Safety is one of the primary factors distinguishing medical-grade power supplies from commercial models. Medical equipment primarily requires longer design cycles than other types of equipment and more support from the power supply vendor.

Global Medical Power Supply Market Covid-19 Impact

With the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, there is a significant surge in demand for medical power requirements, especially for ventilators, nucleic acid detectors, mask machines, and other temperature measurement equipment. Life support medical equipment such as patient monitors and ventilators have witnessed the largest spike in demand. Moreover, In April 2020, MEAN WELL announced that it had decided to build up a special production line for the medical power supplies. However, the original production capacity of the company is allocated to the factory in Taiwan and Guangzhou. The company also stated that currently, medical power supplies are its priority.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in new policies on a global scale that require the usage of certified healthcare systems. For instance, on February 4, 2020, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determined that according to Section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, there is a significant potential for public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect the national security or health and security of the US citizens that are living abroad.

Global Medical Power Supply Market Dynamics

Drivers: Technological Advancements in Healthcare Equipment

The growing demand for accurate automated and robot-assisted surgeries, with rising requirements for surgical procedures in the geriatric population and mounting cases of trauma injuries, are the major factors in driving and managing the growth of this market.

Recent advances in MRI technology make images and scans more detailed, giving doctors better insights into the cause of a patient's problem. The developments in artificial intelligence may soon make these devices more accurate. When one applies the pattern-finding power of AI to MRIs, it results in clearer and easier-to-read images. Such advancements are expected to hold a significant demand for power supplies over the forecast period.

Restraints: Stringent Regulatory Compliance and Safety Standards

Implementing and getting approval for a medical application line-powered supply that implements the relevant IEC 60601-1 requirement and limits is very difficult. Traditional supply parameters such as line and load regulation, voltage and current output, efficiency, and stability over time and temperature must all be met by the basic supply. It must also adhere to several complex and stringent regulatory requirements.

When selecting a power supply, one needs to be careful to check that it conforms to the needs in terms of MOPP (means of patient protection) or MOOP (means of operator protection). A 1 x MOOP power supply is less demanding in terms of isolation distances and working isolation voltages, so it will probably be cheaper to build. When operators come in contact with the equipment, 2x MOOP is sufficient.
