Increase in the number of post-market surveillance programs is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period
Increase in the number of post-market surveillance programs for medical device is expected to drive the global materiovigilance market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in April 2020, Veeva Systems Inc., a leader in cloud-based software for the global life sciences industry, announced Veeva Vault Product Surveillance, a new cloud application for medical device and diagnostics to simplify and standardize the postmarket surveillance process.
Global Materiovigilance Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The rapid global spread of COVID-19 is challenging healthcare systems worldwide in terms of healthcare planning, infrastructure, and spending. Healthcare professionals are forced to treat severely ill patients with limited access to ventilation equipment, qualified intensive care personnel or protective patient monitoring devices. Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus spread throughout China and across the world, causing a continuous increase in confirmed cases within a short period of time. The disease has spread to more than 200 countries across the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it as a public health emergency. For instance, according to the World Health Organization Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Dashboard (WHO) report, the manifestation of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in more than 118 million infected individuals worldwide as of March 11, 2021. The coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one the sectors which has been majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown in various countries has created an economic burden on the private healthcare sector. Healthcare providers were facing challenges with regards to manpower, equipment, and other resources to ensure safety in the treatment of patients with other diseases, and has resulted in declining outpatients visits of patients to the hospitals and clinics during the COVID-19. Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development and supply of services, and affected growth of the healthcare businesses of various companies across the globe. This has led to closure of industrial establishments, except manufacturing of essential commodities and disruption in supply chain of products and services. Thus, COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets.
Global Materiovigilance Market: Restraint
The major factors that hinder growth of the global materiovigilance market include increasing complexity of safety regulations and lack of skilled professionals in underdeveloped and emerging economies. For instance, according to data published by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2016, around 50% of formal firms do not find the workforce with the skills they need in Latin America compared to 36% of firms in OECD countries.

Materiovigilance, also known as medical device vigilance, is the collection, assessment, reporting and identification of trends in incidents resulting from the use of medical devices. Medical device vigilance aims to protect the patients, healthcare facilities utilizing medical devices, and others by preventing or reducing the occurrence of errors that leads to harmful incidents and adverse effects. The detection of technical issues and potential adverse effects associated with medical devices is monitored by materiovigilance. Materiovigilance includes postmarket surveillance, adverse reactions, incidents and recalls of medical devices. Adverse reactions can occur due to use of medical devices and can have severe consequences.
Market Dynamics
Factors such as increasing launches of security plans for medical devices and increasing number of medical device platforms are expected to drive the growth of the global materiovigilance market over the forecast period. For instance, in July 2017, Medical Device Innovation, Safety and Security Consortium (MDISS), a non-profit professional organization with a focus on the safety and security of medical devices, launched a new security testing lab called the World Health Information Security Testing Lab (WHISTL) for medical devices. WHISTL focuses on management and improvement of medical device security and education. For instance, according to data published by Meditology Services, is an IT company that provides security and privacy risk assessment solutions, in August 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a plan to improve cybersecurity practices for medical devices in response to the White House’s effort to bolster cybersecurity across the supply chain.
