After a sharp decline in 2020, the global medical device market is facing a resurgence. The number of inpatient admissions and medical procedures is rising, leading to an estimated 5.4% market growth rate from 2021 to 2028.* But supply chain disruptions are making it difficult for manufacturers to satisfy demand.
