The healthcare market environment has undergone significant changes due to Covid-19, work-style reforms, yen depreciation, and logistics issues. Combined with new regional healthcare plans, including hospital restructuring, facility operations are also being forced to transform. As surgery-related areas form the core of hospital management and directly impact revenue, we assessed usage patterns and changes since last year's edition (the 4th) for related equipment such as electrosurgical units, ultrasonic coagulation/cutting devices, anesthesia machines, surgical support robots, and angiography systems. This resulted in evaluations of 31 manufacturers in total.
We provide information on sales strategy support initiatives from each manufacturer and distributor.
