Major M&A Bookends Year Of Mainly Steady Growth For Leading Medtech Groups
Executive Summary
Scrip's latest rankings of the top 100 revenue earners in the medical technology industry, published in Outlook 2019, show the groups leading the global market tightening their grip further in 2017.

But it was steady as she goes for most of the multinational medtechs, with some major exceptions, and there will be more M&A reflected in next year's rankings, based on 2018 revenues.
