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 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."
