Medtronic has reclaimed its position as the world's largest medical equipment manufacturer. Medtronic is at the forefront of medical technology, employing approximately 90,000 people in 150 countries. Although Medtronic's revenue declined 4% in 2020, the results were commensurate with the impact of postponed treatments across the medical device sector as a result of the pandemic. With many recent approvals and delayed product releases, Medtronic's pipeline continues to drive treatment innovation.

Despite Covid-19, Micra VR and Micra AV, the world's smallest pacemakers for bradyarrhythmia control, were released in the United States and performed successfully. In the future, the firm will continue to invest in innovation in order to maintain its industry-leading pipeline of innovative inventions. They have also completed a number of acquisitions, including Digital Surgery, Medicrea, and Companion Medical, all of which will help them drive future development.

Following a challenging 2020, Johnson & Johnson reclaims second place in 2021. J&J's medical devices division offers a diverse variety of products for orthopaedics, surgery, interventional treatments, and eye health. The detrimental impact of the Covid-19 outbreak and the resulting delays in medical operations to their surgery, orthopaedics, and vision divisions drove a 12 percent drop in medical equipment globally. Growth in the interventional solutions segment, spearheaded by electrophysiology devices, somewhat offset the drop. "We remain incredibly excited about the great potential of the end-to-end digital surgery ecosystem," Alex Gorsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said in a press release. "We are simultaneously developing three differentiated robotic programs and recently achieved a significant milestone with the FDA clearance for our Velys Robotic-Assisted Solution designed for use with the Attune Total Knee System." Our industry is only now beginning to realize the full potential and advantages of robotic and digital technology, and it seems only natural that the same business that pioneered sterile surgery 135 years ago is now positioned to lead the way."

Philips is a diverse technological corporation with almost a century of experience. Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care, and Personal Health make up Philips' healthcare segment, which accounts for 42 percent of the company's global sales. Philips' health goods and solutions grew by 6% year over year in 2020, with revenues reaching $22.6 billion (€19.1 billion), helped by a more favorable foreign exchange rate. This was attributed to a better performance in the second half of the year, following a difficult first half due to Covid-19's influence. Sales of diagnostic imaging and image-guided treatments and ultrasounds fell somewhat in diagnosis and treatment, with diagnostic imaging showing modest growth and image-guided therapies and ultrasounds showing a fall. Covid-19-driven demand fueled substantial growth in connected care, with high results in monitoring & analytics and sleep & respiratory care. "The developments of the past year validate our strategy to innovate the provision of care along the health continuum – putting the patient at the center, improving diagnosis and treatment pathways, enabling the integration of care across care settings, and increasing care provider productivity," CEO Frans van Houten wrote in a letter to shareholders. Simultaneously, we assist clients in leading healthy lifestyles and coping with chronic disease. Telehealth technologies are increasingly allowing us to integrate home and hospital treatment. This strategy is resonating louder than ever."

Becton Dickinson & Firm, or BD, is a global medical technology company based in the United States that makes and distributes medical devices, instrument systems, and reagents. BD's revenue declined slightly (-1%), to $17.1 billion, due to the negative effects of the Covid-19 epidemic, which resulted in substantial disruptions to healthcare services. In addition, the corporation had to make a significant investment to cover the expense of repairing its faulty Alaris infusion pumps. The firm, however, rebounded to growth in Q4 because of BD life sciences' remarkable achievement in creating novel Covid-19 testing through its integrated diagnostic solutions division. BD plans to expand in the future by establishing a strong portfolio of innovations that address unmet clinical requirements, developing solutions for both acute and nonacute settings, and bringing to market products that satisfy patients' needs at home, in the hospital, or wherever they are.

On the list of top medical equipment firms, Siemens Healthineers is still ranked eighth. Siemens Healthineers is the medical technology division of the Siemens company, which is headquartered in Germany. The company's revenue fell somewhat, with sales down 3% to $17.0 billion (€14.5 billion). This was attributed to a drop in diagnostics, as a result of fewer routine testing sessions owing to societal limitations imposed to control the spread of Covid-19. In the imaging and advanced therapy areas, there was minor growth on a similar basis. Because CT scans were increasingly crucial for treating Covid-19 positive patients, computed tomography (CT) saw a lot of increase in imaging. Moving forward, the firm continues to make progress with its digital transformation and remains dedicated to assisting healthcare professionals in their efforts to extend precision medicine, revolutionize care delivery, and improve patient experience by empowering them.
