    The medical market includes all companies involved in research, development, production and marketing in the health sector: pharmaceutical laboratories, medical devices, in vitro diagnostics and digital companies.

    That market includes

    • 260 pharmaceutical companies
    • 1343 medical device manufacturers, 92% of which are SMEs.
    • 100 in vitro diagnostic companies, 90% of which are SMEs.
    • Numerous start-ups that innovate and drive the sector upwards
    • 450 very small biotechs and medtechs. Those are often the result of French research.

    The market's challenges

    The sector is facing global growth in demand. Companies must continually innovate to remain competitive. Furthermore, foreign competition is fierce and means that companies must be able to adapt to an increasingly personalised field of medicine and to ever tighter regulatory requirements.

    The medical sector is highly regulated and controlled, most prices are set by the State. The position of companies on the world market therefore depends on maintaining a high level of technological expertise and strengthening the competitiveness of national players.

    Tomorrow's major challenges for this economic sector are linked to multiple medical technologies, more innovative diagnostics and therapies and easier-to-extract data, especially thanks to artificial and connected objects.

    ISO13485

    ISO 13485

    ISO 13485 is an international quality management standard that allows the implementation of regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and associated services (DIR 93/42/EEC, DIR 98/79/EC, DIR 2007/47/EEC and DIR 90/385/EEC).

    Usage

    In the absence of medical grade components, many medical device manufacturers use automotive grade components.

    Tame-Component is involved, through the RECOME project, in the writing of a standard dedicated to the reliability and safety of highly critical electronic medical devices.

    See the RECOME project's website

    To be of automotive grade, components must pass qualification tests. Qualification is carried out batch by batch to ensure the absence of process deviations that haven’t been identified by the manufacturer.
