The primary criterion for ranking was the revenue generated specifically from the medical devices segment, ensuring focus on the core business area for each company.
Additionally, the analysis considered the companies’ product portfolios, emphasizing their key products and innovations within the medical device sector. Geographical presence and expansion strategies, particularly in emerging markets like Southeast Asia, were also assessed to understand the companies’ global footprint and growth initiatives.
