PALO ALTO, CA – Frost & Sullivan’s quarterly analyst briefing presentation on the North American medical EMS market will be held Sept. 25 at 11 a.m. EST.

Highlights of the briefing include a discussion of current and future industry trends, market drivers and challenges, says the firm.

EMS providers’ increased concentration in the medical device industry propelled market growth in 2006. Medical OEMs’ willingness to outsource and produce viable business relationships will boost their presence and permit the incorporation of additional service offerings from EMS companies, Frost says.

Primary drivers such as an aging population and technology innovation in medical devices will enable EMS providers to offer optimal solutions and penetrate key end-user segments.

“As more EMS providers penetrate the medical device industry, profit margins are likely to increase, and medical OEMs are likely to have more of a selection of distinguished suppliers,” says research analyst Julian Harris.
