Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine 

Happy New Year from the Medical Technology team! 

The medical device industry in 2025 could face significant changes this year as the new Trump administration takes the reins in the US. 

As we gear up for an eventful year, in this edition we take a look at one of the key trends continuing to shape the device industry - 3D printing.  The 3D printing market in healthcare is rapidly expanding, with projections estimating it will reach $43 billion by 2026, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% from 2019 to 2026. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for customized medical solutions and the need for cost-effective manufacturing processes.

We also have updates from the 2025 J.P Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, and analysis on telehealth transformation. Stay tuned with GlobalData this year for all the latest medical device industry news, comment, and analysis.
