NEW YORK, October 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The medical device and technology markets are facing global challenges like escalating consolidation, conflicts with insurance
companies, as well as political and economic uncertainties in China and Europe. Despite these challenges, a research report by Evaluate Ltd, released at AdvaMed, estimates that the
medical device and technology markets will grow 5% or more annually until 2022 and reaching nearly $530
billion. Medovex Corp. (NASDAQ: MDVX), Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX), Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ZBH),
Medtronic PLC (NYSE: MDT), Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX)
The drop in sales witnessed in the medical device and technology markets from 2014 to 2015 resulted in 12 out the 20 largest
companies in the market to have negative growth, according to Evaluate's research. This in turn caused several "mega mergers" and
cost cuts. In the first half of 2016 mergers and acquisitions activities dropped nearly 80%, indicating that consolidation will
no longer be an issue to worry about and partially due to resumed growth. Ian Strickland,
EvaluateMedTech product manager said, "The device industry is growing reasonably rapidly, and the calming of the M&A scene
does not pose a problem for the expected growth."
A small company making noise in this sector, Medovex Corp. (NASDAQ: MDVX) is biomedical device company with the mission
of acquiring and developing a portfolio of potentially ground breaking medical technology products. According to the company,
they focus on products with potential for significant improvement in the quality of patient care combined with cost
effectiveness. The Company's first pipeline product, the DenerveX device, is intended to provide long lasting relief from pain
associated with facet joint syndrome at a much lower cost than other currently available treatments.
Recently on October 13th Medovex Corp. announced that the company successfully
exhibited its' DenerveX System during EuroSpine 2016 Tradeshow last week in Berlin, Germany. The
event marked the official opening of the Company's European Distribution Center in Berlin. The
new distribution service headquarters will function as a commercial hub for all European distributors, as well as other customer
and technical support services, while international operations center and the company's global operational headquarters will
remain in Atlanta, Georgia.
Patrick Kullmann, President and COO for Medovex Corp., said in a statement, "We consider
EuroSpine 2016 in Berlin our 'pre-launch' meeting leading up to what is expected to be an
eventual formal CE Marking. In particular, we were very pleased to see visiting surgeons and distributors from more than 25
countries, and from all continents, at our booth, along with existing and new potential distributors visiting with us."
