Regulatory & industry developments Recent regulatory updates are increasing the emphasis on real-world safety monitoring for medical devices. In the United Kingdom, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) published new guidance and strengthened post-market surveillance (PMS) requirements that came into force on 16 June 2025, requiring more proactive data collection, faster incident reporting and robust trend analysis — changes that directly affect manufacturers of IoT-enabled dispensers and open opportunities for firms that can demonstrate superior PMS and compliance capabilities.
Innovation snapshot Academic and industry innovation continues to feed commercial development. For example, MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU), Pune, unveiled a modular IoT-enabled tablet and capsule dispenser in March 2025, showcasing practical, locally developed solutions for automated dosing with remote monitoring capabilities — a strong signal of rising global R&D interest in this category.
Regional analysis
- North America: Market leader — advanced digital health infrastructure, telemedicine adoption, and higher per-capita healthcare spend.
- Europe: Early adoption driven by elderly care policies and institutional deployments.
- Asia-Pacific: Fastest growth potential thanks to ageing populations, improving digital health infrastructure and increased affordability.
- Latin America & MEA: Emerging opportunities with gradual uptake in private healthcare segments.
