In 2023, Germany led global research efforts in irradiation and electromedical equipment manufacturing with 3.6 thousand full-time equivalent researchers. Japan and South Korea followed, with values of 2.91 and 1.29 thousand, respectively. The United Kingdom and Taiwan experienced moderate growth, whereas Hungary saw a significant increase of 18.18% in research capacity. Conversely, Spain faced a decline by 5.05%, contrasting with the overall positive growth trend in this sector across other countries. Romania's figures remained static at 0.001 thousand.
Future trends to watch include advances in AI technologies and their application in medical device innovation, likely driving increased research investments in countries with lower current values. Collaboration between academia, industry, and governments can also enhance global research capabilities in this specialized manufacturing sector.
