Health technology is a diverse and innovative sector that plays a crucial role in Europe’s trade balance. Health technologies encompass products, services, and solutions that save and enhance people’s lives, contribute to sustainable healthcare, and provide value to patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare systems. The health technology industry offers a wide range of more than 500,000 products and solutions used in hospitals, community care, and homes.
In the European Union, strict regulations govern the safety and performance of health technologies before and after they are available on the market. The sector is currently transitioning to new regulations for medical devices and in vitro diagnostics. The health technology industry thrives on innovation, with significant investments in research and development. Patent applications in the field continue to grow, showcasing the industry’s commitment to advancements and the close collaboration with users. Health technology patents make up a significant proportion of applications filed with the European Patent Office, surpassing pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields.
According to MedTech Europe’s Facts & Figures 2022, the European health technology industry is a significant employer, with over 800,000 direct employees. The industry’s employment accounts for approximately 0.3% of total employment in Europe. These jobs are highly productive, with an estimated value added per employee of €184,000. With more than 34,000 companies, the majority of which are small and medium-sized, the health technology sector plays a crucial role in Europe’s economy. Europe maintains a positive trade balance of €6 billion in medical devices, with the US, China, Japan, and Mexico as the main trade partners.
