Abstract
Local Manufacturers Increasing Foothold in the Mechanical Ventilators Market
Globalization is a key trend in the ventilator market, as developing nations are moving away from
purchasing only refurbished/pre-owned equipment. Manufacturers in China and Brazil are working
toward fulfilling this increasing demand for new equipment with low-cost ventilators. The rise in
awareness levels and purchasing power is creating demand not only in domestic markets but also in
neighboring countries. While local vendors have the added advantage of being able to focus on
individual customer needs, global companies may not find it economically viable to do so. Leading
participants must acknowledge this new market trend and focus on strategically overcoming the
challenge posed by low-cost ventilators. This market could thus witness a spate of strategic
alliances as multinational companies (MNCs) adopt various routes to establish themselves in these
emerging markets.
This Frost & Sullivan strategic analysis service provides vital information on the mechanical
ventilator markets across the globe. It also studies market trends and their impact on the business
by analyzing product life cycles and growth rates. Strategic recommendations to effectively target
end users and suggestions on issues ranging from product design to supply chain are included.
Changing End-user Profile Triggering New Sales and Service Policies for Manufacturers
The growing instances of respiratory diseases and the changing face of demand are spurring growth
and providing opportunities for manufacturers of ventilators. This is a much-needed respite for
participants facing saturation in traditional/developed markets. Given the changing buyer profiles,
manufacturers need to lay emphasis on other factors like providing value-for-money products and
better peri-sales service. Subsequent to triggers such as the recent SARS epidemic, the demand for
new and safe equipment is rising from nations such as Indonesia, Taiwan and Argentina. In fact,
buyers from mature markets are also attaching increasing importance to service.
"Manufacturers need to increase organizational focus toward service and support," says
the analyst of this research. "There is a mounting need for enhanced end-user relationship
management, which participants must fulfill to capture and retain market share."
Acute and Homecare Segments Demonstrate Maximum Opportunities for Revenue Growth
The changing face of demand is extending its reach to the various ventilator segments. Acute and
homecare sectors are expected to provide maximum opportunities for boosting revenues in the near
future for both developed as well as developing nations.
"Ventilator designs are veering toward smaller, lighter, and portable models -- and this
demand can also be fulfilled by the existing homecare models," says the analyst. "As
attention shifts to developing countries, MNCs must also compete with local participants who offer
competitive ventilator models at lower prices"
