More than technological advancement, it is cost optimisation model which is the on-going trend and will extend in 2017 also. MNCs and Indian medical equipment manufacturers are working on solutions which are more relevant to Indias tier-II, III and rural markets than urban cities. As the market is shifting towards tier-II, tier-III cities and rural India, we need to understand the challenges users face to offer relevant solutions. Moreover, change in business models, service support models, financing structure, etc will play significant role in deciding the outcome.
