The specialty devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The expansion of the market size for specialty devices has been swift in the past few years. Its projections indicate a rise from $46.2 billion in 2024 to $52.88 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The expansion in the historical phase can be traced back to factors such as the development of the healthcare industry, an aging demographic, the escalation of chronic diseases, supportive regulations, a patient predilection for home healthcare, and advances in diagnostics.
The Specialty Devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for specialty devices is anticipated to witness swift expansion in the coming years, reaching $88.6 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%.
The projected growth during this period can be ascribed to factors such as minimally invasive operations, home-based diagnostic kits, biocompatible resources, point-of-care evaluations, global health crisis responses, and emphasis on data security and privacy. Predicted trends during this period encompass advancements in wearable tech, telehealth and remote patient observation, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI), smart home healthcare equipment, and telemedicine platforms and apps.
Growth in the specialty devices market is anticipated to be driven by advancements in vehicle safety and autonomous driving. Autonomous driving implies self-operation through enhanced and smarter, connected vehicles. Specialty devices offering customized functions in vehicles with a general-purpose chassis stand to enhance the user experience with added comfort and productivity. This bespoke technology, used within production and manufacturing procedures and vehicles, brings substantial potential for improved vehicle safety and autonomous driving. A survey by the American Automobile Association, a North American motor union, reported in January 2023 that 72% of American adults would feel safer in a self-driving car. Additionally, 51% of US residents showed interest in legislation ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles. Thus, the upward trend in vehicle safety and autonomous driving fuels the specialty devices market.
