2010Global Medical OEM E-Survey
Focus On: Media Usage and Purchasing habits of Canon’s293,000 medical device professionals worldwide
Canon Communications’ Medical Device Group educates, informs and inspires the global medical device industry, in its efforts to develop critical healthcare products that save lives and enhance the quality of life.
Our extensive portfolio of media and tradeshows serve as the industry’s resources for all the information it needs to design, develop, manufacture and bring to market advanced medical technologies.
Why This Study Matters
It is the first of its kind. Never before has the global medical device community been so thoroughly researched on media usage and purchasing habits. In recent years new media opportunities have transformed b-to-b marketing and exposed many unanswered questions.
•Does the older generation use media differently than the younger?
•Are there discernable differences in media usage in North America and Europe?
•Does company size effect purchasing?
•Are e-newsletters and other digital media impacting their audience?
These questions now have answers. Any hesitation in your strategy can be erased, you can now move forward with full confidence and the data to support your marketing and advertising decisions.
Methodology
The survey was open from February 10, 2010 through March 4, 2010, with a total of 3,982 usable responses — a 3% response rate (based on the net effective sample size of 144,605). Percentages based on all 3,982 responses are subject to a margin of error of ± 1.5% at the 95% confidence level. The response was tabulated and reported by Readex Research in accordance with accepted research standards and practices.

What We Can Take Away From This StudyForget Black or White Media Usage Assumptions:
•The younger generation is exclusively online•The older generation depends solely on print and events•Europeans haven’t fully embraced digital media
These common assumptions simply aren’t true. As the data shows professionals of various ages worldwide are using all available media channels and using them often.
Education Leads to Informed Purchasing:
Before a supplier is considered, OEM companies are learning about Tech Trends, Emerging Technologies and other educational elements through btob media channels. That education drives them to vendor websites for solutions.
Market Resurgance Can Be Seen Through OEMs Planned Vendor/Supplier Spending:
•Global budgets allocated to existing suppliers are increasing in 2010•Global budgets allocated to new suppliers are increasing in 2010•Everyone is buying, none more so than the small to medium sized companies
