Medical Device Brand Preference Study
Help hospital procurement teams, clinicians, and distributors compare device performance, evaluate supplier credibility, and navigate service trade-offs, so you can sharpen positioning, improve channel strategy, and increase conversion across priority medical device categories.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most medical device brands don't lose preference purely on price. They fall behind due to clinical confidence gaps, inconsistent servicing, procurement complexity, and weak distributor advocacy, none of which fully show up in sales reports or satisfaction scores.
If you are...
- Medical device brand leaders
- Hospital procurement heads
- Clinical affairs teams
- Distributor channel managers

Hospital Equipment Service Contract Decision Drivers Study (India)
Home Monitoring Device Feature & Pricing Exploration (India)
Hospital Equipment Service Contract Decision Drivers Study (India)
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate how hospital administrators , biomedical engineers , and procurement teams selected preventive maintenance partners for imaging equipment, focusing on contract renewal behaviour, response expectations, vendor consideration, and differences between OEM service , independent providers, and in-house teams.
WHAT WE DID
Ran a structured survey with 420 public and private hospitals, quota-controlled by city tier, bed count, and equipment base. Captured service uptime , engineer responsiveness , contract value, escalation frequency, satisfaction, switching triggers, and renewal likelihood.
DELIVERED
Produced a service partner preference map , vendor consideration funnel, renewal friction list , hospital segment profiles, and channel-specific contract levers, showing where OEMs and independent providers differed on reliability, responsiveness, technical capability, and perceived value.
