The ongoing trade war between the United States and China affects everything from tooling and mold-building to commodity medical devices when medtech is concerned, according to Mark Bonifacio of Bonifacio Consulting Services.
Bonifacio, though, thinks China is too big for medical device companies to ignore: Even if the labor costs savings aren’t as attractive, there is simply too much potential for the country’s domestic medical device market to grow as an expanding middle class seeks better healthcare.
“The market is just so large and it’s growing at such a clip, that it’s outpacing really anything else that is happening elsewhere on the globe,” Bonifacio told Medical Design & Outsourcing during its latest podcast.
“It’s really a place you’re going to have to consider as part of your strategy,” Bonifacio said.
