The global Healthcare Patent Filing Outsourcing market size is expected to be worth around US$ 2.8 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.
The global Healthcare Patent Filing Outsourcing market size was valued at US$ 1.1 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.
Growth Factors
In-house departments of pharmaceutical and medical devices firms typically do not have sufficient time to carry out patent filing processes. Even if they do, it will be a costly option for the firms. Therefore, the market is significantly driven by the growing need for cost-saving and time-saving in patent filing processes.
The market suffered a hefty decline of 2.1% in 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations such as the European Patent Office (EPO) and the United State Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced relaxations such as extension of deadlines in order to accommodate 2019 novel coronavirus related delays and interruptions. However, with the lifting of COVID-19 related shelter-in-place mandates and commercialization of the vaccine, the bottle necking of patent filing is clearing. The market is projected to recover from 2021 onwards and expand with a lucrative CAGR over the forecast period.
Growing innovations in the medical device and pharmaceutical space is driving the market. Surging number of start-ups in the healthcare industry with new and innovative products, will also boost market growth. Patent applications are majorly filed by the well-established players in the healthcare industry such as Novartis, Covidien, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Ethicon, Olympus Corp. These companies innovate in-house, partner with high-tech companies for consumer-facing offerings, and also license technologies from universities. Such companies hold huge potential market growth across the globe.
Report Highlights
The medtech segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 51.2% in 2020. This is attributed to growing technological advancements in the medical devices industry. For instance, in 2016, Medtronic, Olympus, and Boston Scientific filed 182, 150, and 225 patents respectively. On November 6, 2020, Medtronic filed a patent for a valve delivery device that got published on February 25, 2021. Similarly, on April 17, 2020, Boston Scientific received a patent for Opticross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter. Such innovations by medical device players offer huge opportunities for healthcare patent filing outsourcing.
The medtech segment is further sub-segmented into assistive care devices, consumables and disposables, diagnosis and imaging devices, drug delivery devices, surgical devices, and wearable medical devices. The wearable medical devices segment is expected to expand with the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the mounting demand for such devices in telehealth services and improving health consciousness among people. The amalgamation of healthcare data and IT is the latest fad of the industry and numerous established and emerging players are trying to gain the position of first movers.
The filing and prosecution segment dominated the healthcare patent filing outsourcing market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 51.5% in 2020. This share is attributable to the complexity associated with filing and prosecution coupled with cost-efficient attained by outsourcing such tasks. In-house filing and prosecution will also waste a lot of time of internal resources. Therefore, time-saving offered by healthcare outsourcing firms in filing and prosecution will also boost the growth of the segment over the forecast period.
The pre-filing segment accounted for the second-highest share by service in 2020. Pre-filing is a crucial step in patent filing as a lot of time and money of applicants could be wasted if the step is not done by professionals with strong knowledge of the patent processes. This will in turn augment the demand for pre-filing services thus boosting the growth over the forecast period.
The resident segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 63.5% in 2020. Approximately, 70.0% of the overall patents registered on the WIPO repository are resident patents. However, the non-resident segment is projected to expand with a faster CAGR as filing patents in one country does not ensure protection from plagiarism in another country.
Also, the aid of local patent outsourcing firm with the know-how of local regulations is beneficial for applicants to get a patent in another country. Such factors will augment the growth of the non-resident segment over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 65.5% in 2020. The region is expected to maintain its vanguard over the forecast period. The high share is attributable to the colossal number of patents filed coupled with the availability of low-cost outsourcing services in the region. A significant number of patents filed in the Asia Pacific region are from China. According to the world intellectual property organization WIPO, in 2019, China filed 1,327,847 patents while Japan and India filed 452,130 and 34,015 patents respectively.
Medical devices and pharmaceutical companies in North America and Europe outsource their patent filing processes to countries in the Asia Pacific owing to low-cost labor. This will, in turn, augment the regional growth of the market over the forecast period.
