India's Strategic Shift Towards High-Quality, Low-Cost MedTech
India's healthcare infrastructure continues to face significant strain from the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), contributing around 66 per cent of the mortalities in the country, underscoring the need for scalable continuous monitoring, early diagnosis, and therapeutic devices. Yet, advanced imaging systems, analysers, surgical tools, or robotic devices remain very expensive due to import reliance, high logistics costs, and maintenance/ service contracts. Segments showing strongest traction today are diagnostics (point-of-care devices, rapid tests, compact imaging devices), remote monitoring/wearable devices, and therapeutic devices such as surgical robotic systems, renal care systems, and wound care devices.
