MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

The company operates in a working capital intensive industry driven by sustained innovation, rigorous government regula­tion and longer payment terms. Whether a multi-bed hospital or a small physical clinic, more than a thousand devices are used in today’s medical facilities that strive to meet multifari­ous patient needs in differing economic landscapes. Govern­ment policies make the installation and use of many of these mandatory, rendering them non discretionary in nature. In­surance penetration, private or national, also dictates usage patterns and product design. The speedy progress of medical science and laboratory research and the globalization of dis­eases and disease control are actively propelling the industry to new levels.

 

Some of the factors that are distinctively influencing the growth in the industry are:

 

i.                     The increase of demand for health and safety, aging popu­lation, rising income levels has substantial influence on the growth of the Industry.

ii.                   The insurance penetration in the industry has helped in the phenomenal growth in product development, process devel­opment and innovations.

iii.                  The consumers in fast developing countries like the BRICs, especially in the urban areas are increasingly becoming more aware about the latest medical technologies which will in­crease the demand.

iv.                  The growth in purchasing power and per capita income amongst the people in developing countries is forcing industry players to develop and design medical devices with the latest technology.

v.                    The interventional cardiology market is currently seeing rapid technological advances with the increasing popularity of products such as drug eluting stents, intravascular ultra­sound and vascular closure devices.

 

Patient Monitors and Accessories

 

The patient monitoring equipment industry has evolved over the years owing to deeper penetration of the technologies that have enhanced the development of best-of-the-class prod­ucts. Patient monitoring, one of the biggest occupants of the medical technology pie, has been infused with several new technologies, ever since it was developed. The patient moni­toring devices is expected to have significant growth in the fast developing countries due to increasing life expectancy, gov­ernment-initiated healthcare reforms, rising income of middle class, and growing population in these countries. The market is expected to grow at the rate of 29.08% from 2010 to 2015. The global market for patient monitoring devices is estimated to grow to US$ 6 billion by 2011, with multi-parameter patient monitors accounting for over 40 per cent of the market. The USA is the largest market for medical equipment and supplies valued at US$ 94.9 billion in 2010, equal to 38.6% of the global market and is expected to have CAGR of 2.8% by 2015, will take the market value over US$ 100 billon. The patient moni­toring equipment industry in Indian market is expected to have a growth rate of 15% during the next fiscal.

 

Some of the most compelling trends in this industry are:

i.                     The cardiovascular monitoring equipment is an integral component of the diagnostic testing suite for hospitals world­wide. The cardiovascular monitoring equipment industry has been spurred by the increasing technology content of the equipment, the potential to realize dramatic gains in market share, and the ability to manage the growing cost of research. As a result, market penetration levels of cardiovascular moni­toring devices are deep and consistently improving.

ii.                   Advanced technologies integrated in patient monitoring equipment allow specialists to stay connected to patients ad­mitted in the critical care units of the hospitals.

iii.                  The patient monitoring equipment market is witnessing a substantial growth due to increase in ageing population, rise in health care expenditure, and government initiative to im­prove health care delivery.

iv.                  The pressure on health care facilities around the world to cut costs and therefore, the need to lower the staff-per-patient ratio has dictated the development of central station monitoring software.

 

 Stents and Catheters

 

The global market for coronary stents is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% till 2016. Drug Eluting Stents segment has a substantial share in the Coronary Stent Market. The segment is expected to reach US$ 5.6 billion by 2016, with a CAGR of 3%.

 

Minimally invasive treatment, which save patients a lot of time and costs are increasingly preferred over full surgeries today. Stents, for the past decade have been undergoing rapid in­novation and constant scrutiny. Angioplasty, as a method to treatment, first evolved from the use of a dilatation balloon and is, today, evaluating the clinical efficacies of a drug coated balloon catheter for multiple site applications.

 

The latest development in stent technologies like diamond carbon coating, platinum enriched stainless steel stents, completely bio-absorbable stents and antibody coated or gene therapy stents are becoming more popular recently.

 

The global market for interventional cardiology devices is projected to exceed US$13 billion by the year 2015. The Car­diac Stents, with a share of about 45%, represents the largest segment of the world interventional cardiology devices mar­ket. The cardiovascular diseases affect more than 60 million individuals in the US alone. While the United States, Europe and Japan represent mature interventional cardiology devices markets, the Asia-Pacific region constitutes a rapidly expand­ing market. The US followed by Europe represents the larg­est market for drug eluting stents. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market, with China as both the largest and fastest growing market within Asia-Pacific, followed by India.

 

Catheterization procedures have steadily increased as inter­ventional and less-invasive procedures have become more popular. Catheters are vital to the completion of many proce­dures, and some procedures or interventions, particularly in cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery, could not be done without the use of catheters. The global catheter market is ex­pected to reach US$ 32.1 billion in 2014, for a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The market’s cardiovas­cular segment is the largest with sales, is projected to rise at a CAGR of 10.2% to US$11.6 billion in 2014. The second-largest segment is urology, which is expected to reach US$13.2 billion in 2014, with the highest CAGR among all segments at 17.1%.

 

 Opportunities

 

The diversity of the product range and the ability of the com­pany to find technological and distribution synergies amongst these is the company’s greatest strength and an opportunity at further product extension. A strong base of proprietary technology has also helped in house product development without much external aid or interference. The company’s low cost manufacturing base in India is another advantage it enjoys compared to some of its biggest peers.

The patient monitoring devices market in BRIC is expected to witness significant growth due to increasing life expectancy, government-initiated healthcare reforms, rising income of middle class, and the growing urban population in these na­tions. They have also opened up emerging markets like Myan­mar, Vietnam, Africa etc.

 

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and dia­betes especially in the elderly population is creating enormous growth opportunity for the NIBP, multi-parameter patient monitoring and remote monitoring devices categories. Cur­rently there are more than 81 million patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the US only. Out of these, nearly 90% of the patients suffer from high blood pressure. Diabetes prevalence is also very high in the US with nearly 24 million patients suffering from the disease. These diseases combined with a large elderly population will create a huge demand for remote patient monitoring devices, multi param­eter monitors as well as non-invasive blood pressure moni­tors in the US.

 

The company’s focus on path breaking and innovative tech­nologies in the invasive space, like DIOR and Magical, attracts the best talent and resources and also helps mark a distinct identity for itself in an industry crowded by multi billion dol­lar companies. Eurocor’s product pipeline of some innovative cardiovascular and peripheral devices is also expected to drive deeper market penetration.

 

Threats

 

In the event, they are unable to develop and commercialize new products, it will adversely affect their ability to compete effec­tively. Any product liability claims or potential safety related regulatory actions could adversely affect their goodwill, busi­ness and results of operations. The development of disrup­tive technologies in invasive non-invasive or drug related, may affect the prospects of their current line of products and in the event they are unable to adapt to these new developments, it may adversely affect their growth. The industry is highly patent driven. The inability to invent new products will adversely af­fect the growth of the company.

 

Segment Wise Performance

 

The company’s main business relates to development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of medical equip­ments and devices which account for a substantial part of the Group’s consolidated sales. For the year 2009-10, in consoli­dated sales, their invasive business grew by 43% and non inva­sive segment grew by 30% compared to the previous year.

 

In addition, they also provide ancillary and complementary ser­vices such as after sales service for their patient monitoring devices. They also provide information technology consulting global positioning systems and electronic design automation services in India.

 

Outlook

 

The overall outlook for the company remains highly promis­ing. The company has been able to generate and mobilize funds even during stressed financial conditions and has also steadily built up human resources and trained them well to realize opportunities. The Directors are therefore confident that the company will continue to grow steadily.

 

The economic outlook has stabilized and has started to re­cover. The Indian economy is expected to grow at a rate of more than 8.5% during the financial year 2010-11 comparing to the previous year growth of 7.2%. Such growth momentum and the revisionist measures taken up by the Government of India and the RBI would enable the company to optimize its resources and achieve continuous growth.

PRESS RELEASES:

 

Opto Circuits subsidiary Bags CE accredition for Dilation Catheters and Guide Wires Targets 6 Million Euros in sales              

 

Bangalore, May 30’ 06: EuroCor GmBH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Opto Circuits (India) Limited (OCI), a leading manufacturer of healthcare equipments in India, has received CE approval for marketing and sale of Amadeus Supercross, a coronary dilation catheter and E-WIRE, a guide wire for interventional use. Both products are used in Coronary Angioplasty (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty- PTCA). CE-approved Amadeus Supercross and E-WIRE are expected to add 3-5 Million and 1 Million Euros respectively, per year.

 

Highlighting the strategic importance of this development, Vinod Ramnani, Chairman and Managing Director, OCI, said: “The CE certification adds a global dimension to both the products as they can now tap almost 50% of the large US $ 8 billion PTCA market (i.e., stents, balloons, guidewires, guide catheters and accessories). It is of considerable consequence in boosting revenues for EuroCor; in the first year itself, we expect Amadeus and E-WIRE to together to garner around 4-6 million Euros and with a three-year perspective that translates into 189 to 325 million Rs. for Opto.”


Coronary artery dissections and spasms are common issues during an Angioplasty and Amadeus Supercross provides just the controlled safety balloon compliance for less dissections and low trauma PTCA. EuroCOR’s E-WIRE is used to guide an interventional device (such as a balloon catheter) for restoring normal blood flow to an obstructed vessel and its key feature is that it removes abrupt transitions.

 

EuroCOR has recently received CE approval for its blockbuster drug-eluting stent- TAXCOR, subsequent to which the company bagged orders from Brazil and Egypt totaling 41.8 crore.

 

OCIL and EuroCor GmbH have an aggressive marketing strategy to promote its entire range of interventional coronary stent systems and balloon dilation catheters through already appointed and established 26 distributors located worldwide. EuroCOR has also signed a distribution agreement with the German/Swiss medical device sales organization "Fumedica AG" which took overall marketing and distribution rights of this product basket for the German and Swiss market.
