Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.

This specialty devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The specialty devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $46.2 billion in 2024 to $52.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to healthcare industry growth, aging population, increased chronic diseases, regulatory support, patient preference for home healthcare, diagnostic advancements.

The specialty devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $85.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to minimally invasive procedures, home-based testing kits, biocompatible materials, point-of-care testing, global health crises response, focus on cybersecurity and data privacy. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in wearable technology, telehealth and remote patient monitoring, integration of artificial intelligence (ai), smart home healthcare devices, telemedicine platforms and apps.

The forecast of 13.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply constraints for custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit(ASIC) chips and hermetic packaging, largely imported from Singapore and Switzerland, slowing production of medical and industrial electronic devices. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The specialty devices market is poised for growth, driven by an increasing focus on vehicle safety and autonomous driving. Autonomous driving, characterized by self-driving vehicles with enhanced connectivity, is becoming integral to customer preferences for enjoyable, comfortable, and productive driving experiences. Specialty devices within vehicles, featuring a general-purpose chassis and tailored equipment, play a crucial role in production, manufacturing, and in-car functions. In January 2023, a survey by the American Automobile Association revealed that 72% of American adults expressed a sense of safety in riding self-driving automobiles, with 51% advocating for laws to ensure the safety of autonomous vehicles. This growing emphasis on vehicle safety and autonomous driving is a significant driver for the specialty devices market.

The specialty devices market is set to benefit from the expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. IoT, a networked system of interconnected computing devices, facilitates seamless connectivity, data exchange, and remote control. This enhances specialty devices by optimizing functionality, providing real-time insights, and improving user experiences across various applications. As of September 2022, global IoT connections reached 13.2 billion, with a projected increase of 18% to 34.7 billion connections by 2028, as reported by Ericsson. This expansion of the IoT ecosystem is a key driver fueling growth in the specialty devices market.

Technological advancement emerges as a prominent trend in the specialty devices market, with major companies focusing on developing innovative solutions for motion control and other specialized products to bolster their market positions. For instance, in November 2022, TEXSPIN Bearings Limited, an India-based automotive company, introduced technological breakthroughs in the automotive sector. Their 'green products,' designed to reduce pollution, vehicle friction, and fuel consumption, utilize advanced tribology in bearing development, along with precision machining and measurement. These innovations demonstrate a commitment to research-driven advancements, providing value-added solutions across various technology platforms within the specialty devices market.

Prominent players in the specialty devices market are intensifying their focus on introducing innovative devices as a strategic move to gain a competitive advantage. These innovations encompass the integration of cutting-edge technologies aimed at elevating performance, efficiency, and functionality in specialized applications. Notably, in July 2022, Volvo Construction Equipment, a Swedish manufacturing company, unveiled the EC550E-a 50-ton crawler excavator that delivers exceptional levels of durability and performance, surpassing expectations typically associated with a 60-ton machine. Renowned for its robust design, advanced technological features, and high-performance capabilities, the EC550E is tailored for demanding construction and excavation applications. It excels in heavy-duty digging, mass excavation, and large site preparation, offering operators outstanding comfort, increased productivity, and enhanced fuel efficiency.
