About this industry
Industry definition
Die Branchenumsätze haben sich in den letzten fünf Jahren um durchschnittlich 1,5 % pro Jahr erhöht. Dem Umsatzwachstum im Jahr 2023 standen allerdings stark gestiegene Logistik-, Rohstoff- und Energiekosten sowie erhöhte Personalkosten aufgrund der Inflationsentwicklung gegenüber. Darüber hinaus entstanden erhebliche Mehrkosten im Rahmen der Umsetzung der EU-Medizinprodukte-Verordnung. In der Folge verringerte sich die branchenspezifische Gewinnmarge, wovon vor allem kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen, die einen Großteil der Branche ausmachen, betroffen waren. Der erhöhte Druck auf die Branche führt dazu, dass die Unternehmen ihre Investitionen in den Standort hierzulande verringern. Ebenso werden Ausgaben für Forschung und Entwicklung zunehmend ins Ausland verlagert. Das Innovationsklima für Medizintechnik in Deutschland befindet sich aktuell auf einem Tiefstand.
