Medical Device Security Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth & Developments by 2027
The Global Medical Device Security Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8-10% by 2027. The key factors driving the growth of the global market are an increasing trend of connected and wearable medical devices, growing number of cyber-attacks, an increasing geriatric population, and the subsequent rise in chronic diseases. However, the limited budget for healthcare device security is one of the major constraints that is likely to hamper the global market’s growth.
A medical device security system refers to the protection of medical devices and their associated systems from unauthorized access, modification, theft, and damage. It helps in implementing measures to safeguard patient data and the functionality of medical devices thereby ensuring the well-being of patients and preventing potential harm or adverse events.
Growing Trend of Connected Medical Devices in the Healthcare Sector
Recent and rapid advancements in medical technology and the availability of innovative medical devices like wearable devices and remote monitoring systems have improved patient outcomes and the efficiency of the healthcare system. With the rise in the number of medical devices connected to networks or the internet, there is a greater risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches. Hence it has become important for healthcare providers and manufacturers to ensure the safety of medical devices and prioritize the security measures for patient data security.
For instance,
- In April 2023, GE Healthcare introduced ReadySee Asset Management & Network Supervision Solutions which automatically locates devices, self-manages cybersecurity protocols to help identify vulnerabilities, provide risk scoring and help protect sensitive patient health information (PHI) without disrupting the patient care experience.
- In March 2023, Check Point Software Technologies introduced its Infinity Global Services. This new service provides end-to-end cyber resilience by enhancing cybersecurity practices & control and preventing advanced cyber threats.
Rapid Surge in Medical Device Security Market Post Covid-19 Pandemic
The medical device security market is booming rapidly due to the growing usage of connected devices in the healthcare sector. Post-pandemic there has been a significant rise in the adoption of telemedicine and remote monitoring solutions which require secure and reliable cybersecurity solutions to protect patient data. This has created more awareness among healthcare organizations about cybersecurity solutions to mitigate the risk associated with data threats which in turn has driven the demand for the medical device security market. The initiatives taken by the government to implement cybersecurity solutions and the rising investments in the healthcare-IT sector are other factors fueling its growth in the global market.
For instance,
- In February 2023, Cisco introduced its Cisco Cyber Vision through which IoT and IT operations teams will have full visibility into IT and OT devices to manage threats across the organization and provide a unified security posture across the entire network. The other service unveiled by Cisco is Secure Equipment Access Plus, which makes it easier for IT and OT teams to remotely deploy, manage, and troubleshoot connected equipment.
Key Constraints/ Challenges: Medical Device Security Market
The higher costs associated with implementing security measures for medical devices and the lack of skilled professionals are some of the constraints that are likely to hinder the growth of the medical device security market.
North America is Expected to Continue to Hold a Larger Share in the Medical Device Security Market
Geographically, North America holds a larger market share in the global medical device security market. This can be mainly attributed to the growing demand for connected medical devices, frequent cyber-attacks on medical devices, initiatives taken by the government for cybersecurity, and the presence of key players in this region.
However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness a strong growth in the upcoming years, due to growing adoption of connected medical devices, increased number of cyberattacks, and growing awareness about cybersecurity solutions among healthcare professionals to protect patient health information and avoid data breaches.
