3 Medical Instruments Stocks Winning Big With GenAI Amid Global Gloom
Over the past year, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics have rapidly revolutionized the Medical Instruments industry, driving innovation in diagnostics, patient monitoring and personalized treatment. AI-powered devices now process large datasets in real time, delivering accurate predictions and actionable insights. Predictive analytics supports early disease detection, risk assessment, maintenance optimization, and cost reduction. According to a January 2025 report, genAI is already generating synthetic medical images, simulating disease progression, and accelerating drug discovery. However, it also introduces new regulatory challenges around safety, transparency, and data integrity. In response, the FDA is implementing a Total Product Lifecycle (TPLC) oversight model with a risk-based approach and enhanced post-market monitoring. Going by data, global AI in the healthcare market is projected to witness a CAGR of 38.5% from 2024 to 2030. However, a deteriorating geopolitical situation, tariffs and supply chain bottlenecks, resulting in a tough situation related to raw material and labor costs, freight charges, as well as healthcare staffing shortages, have put the industry in a tight spot again. Meanwhile, industry players like Penumbra PEN, Integer Holdings ITGR and AngioDynamics ANGO have adapted well to changing consumer preferences and have been witnessing an uptrend in their stock prices. Industry Description The Zacks Medical - Instruments industry is highly fragmented, with participants engaged in research and development (R&D) in therapeutic areas. This FDA-regulated sector encompasses a vast array of products, from transcatheter valves and orthopedic devices to advanced imaging equipment and robotics. Recent trends highlight the integration of AI in diagnostics, the expansion of telemedicine, the rise of robotic-assisted surgeries, and developments in 3D printing, continuous glucose monitoring systems, gene editing, and nanomedicine. The emergence of generative AI is also reshaping MedTech, prompting the FDA to adopt a TPLC regulatory approach. 3 Trends Shaping the Future of the Medical Instruments Industry Over the past couple of years, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of genAI within the medical instruments space, with 'hyper-personalization' being the primary feature of genAI-driven treatment options. Added to this, genAI is rapidly paving the way for efficient operational management within the industry. GenAI, while analyzing vast and complex genetic and molecular data, is expected to help healthcare reach new heights in terms of predictive treatment options and smart hospital systems. A December 2024 report says that global genAI in the healthcare market was valued at $1.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 33.2% from 2024 to 2032. Rapid advancement in deep learning and natural language processing, increasing demand for personalized treatment, growing investment in healthcare AI and rising healthcare data volumes are the major growth factors. This apart, the application of AI in the diagnostics space is growing enormously with the market expected to witness a CAGR of 24.6% by 2034.: The medical instruments space has been benefiting from the ongoing merger and acquisition (M&A) trend. It is a known fact that smaller and mid-sized industry players attempt to compete with the big shots through consolidation. The big players attempt to enter new markets through a niche product. Going by a J.P. Morgan report of 2025, in 2024, MedTech acquisition activity exceeded the previous two years in both deal count and total announced value. A total of 305 M&A transactions were announced, totaling over $63.1 billion for companies in medical devices, diagnostics, therapeutic digital health and commercial research tools, up from 134 deals in 2023. In 2025 so far, notable examples of M&A include Stryker's $4.9 billion acquisition of Inari Medical to expand its peripheral thrombectomy portfolio, Thermo Fisher's $4.1 billion purchase of Solventum's Purification & Filtration business, and Boston Scientific's $664 million acquisition of Bolt Medical to strengthen its position in intravascular lithotripsy solutions.: Per IMF's April 2025 World Economic Outlook, global growth is expected to remain lackluster over the next couple of years. At 2.8% in 2025 and 3.0% in 2026, the forecasts for growth are below the historical (2000–19) average of 3.7%. A few countries, especially low-income developing countries, have seen sizable downside growth revisions, often as a result of increased conflicts and recent tariff shocks. The good news is that global headline inflation is expected to decline to 4.3% in 2025 and to 3.6% in 2026, with advanced economies reaching the targets sooner than emerging market and developing economies. However, the IMF apprehends that the current policy-generated disruptions to the ongoing disinflation process could interrupt the pivot to easing monetary policy, with implications for fiscal sustainability and financial stability. Further, there are chances of higher nominal wage growth, which in some cases reflects the catch-up of real wages, accompanied by weak productivity, which could make it difficult for firms to moderate price increases, especially when profit margins are already squeezed.

HistoSonics completes pivotal histotripsy system trial enrolment
As reports of an acquisition by one of the leading players in the medical device space percolate, HistoSonics has completed enrolment in a pivotal trial to evaluate its histotripsy platform in treating kidney tumours. The US company's prospective, multi-centre, single-arm pivotal #HOPE4KIDNEY (NCT05820087) trial is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Edison system for the destruction of kidney tissue by treating primary solid renal tumours. A total of 67 patients have been enrolled with a single, non-metastatic solid kidney mass ≤3cm. Patients will be treated with the Edison system and followed for five years post-procedure, with data at the 90-day evaluation point to be submitted in support of regulatory approval with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Edison system uses a technology called histotripsy, involving the delivery of non-thermal, non-invasive focused ultrasound waves to target and eliminate cancerous liver tissue. The system received de novo clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2023 and last month secured its first major insurance coverage from a new healthcare policy from Healthcare payor Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) and health plan option Blue Care Network. HistoSonics' vision is for its Edison system to become a 'foundational, non-invasive' solution across a range of clinical applications, the company's CEO, Mike Blue stated. 'Completing enrolment in our pivotal kidney tumour trial represents a significant milestone toward that goal and reinforces our confidence in expanding histotripsy into additional tumour types and indications,' said Blue. In May, Edison histotripsy system has been granted controlled early limited market access in the UK under an Unmet Clinical Need Authorisation (UCNA) under the UK's Innovative Devices Access Pathway (IDAP), launched by the UK Government in 2023 to help fast-track 'transformative medical technologies' into the healthcare system. As first reported by the Financial Times last month, HistoSonics is seeking a valuation of more than $2.5bn for a takeover of the company, with Medtronic, GE HealthCare and Johnson & Johnson (J&J), a longtime backer of HistoSonics, among the interested parties evaluating the business. J&J most recently participated in HistoSonics' $102m Series D funding round.
