Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson remain the world’s largest medical device companies. But after that, the roster is radically shifting amid a slew of mergers and acquisitions.
In some cases such as GE, Philips and Siemens, major multinationals are breaking apart.
We’ve sifted through data from public companies’ annual reports and other publicly disclosed information, with attempts to contact companies for additional information — all to create our annual Big 100 list of the world’s major medtech companies. Earlier this week, we counted down Nos. 20–11. Today, it’s the top 10.
The Big 100 is a team effort by almost our entire medical content team staff. Assistant editor Danielle Kirsh, executive editor Brad Perriello, senior editor Nancy Crotti, managing editor Chris Newmarker, associate editor Fink Densford and associate editor Sarah Faulkner contributed to this report.
