With increased pressures to reduce internal SG&A costs, accelerate the pace of business, and increase process efficacies, manufacturers are continually investing in third-party partnerships where innovation is at the forefront of service delivery.

As indicated by a Grand View Research study, the global medical device outsourcing market size was valued at $33.2 billion USD in 2016 and is expected to grow with a seven-year CAGR of 11.5 percent.

Outsourcing partnerships will continue to be a key to this growth, specifically with medical device conversions, given the increased need for market flexibility that allows the cost structure (headcount) to expand and contract based on the complexity of the product, the number of facilities, among other factors.
