2. The international market is big…and getting bigger
3. The definition of "customers" is changing
4. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing

The article also discusses the reasons these trends call for pointed questions and a holistic approach to anticipating the future, formulating appropriate responses and executing in a way that provides clear direction and flexibility to address changing market conditions. The next generation of effective medical device companies will be those companies that heed these trends now, and take action, while profits are flowing and resources are available, instead of waiting for certainty in an ever-changing future.
