The European Medical Technology in Figures 2022

Medical technologies can save lives, improve health and contribute to sustainable healthcare. Through innovative devices and diagnostics, the industry delivers value to patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare systems and society. Medical technology companies are also drivers of innovation, economic growth and job creation across Europe.

From pregnancy tests to ultrasound scans, medical technology is with you from before you are born. If you scratched your knee as a child, you wore a plaster; if your vision blurs, you got glasses.

Should you need surgery, medical technologies will ensure you get the care you need in a way that is safe and minimally invasive; if your blood vessels become blocked, stents can help clear the way; an MRI scan can provide an answer to a threatening pathology; if you require monitoring, digital health tools can check your health status and communicate vital data to health professionals.

You may not always notice medical technologies, but they are always there for you. Learn more by visiting the Data Hub and downloading MedTech’s Europe Facts & Figures 2022 report.
