Surging Adoption of USB Type-C in Medical Industry

The growing technological advancements in USB Type-C are likely to increase its scope in the medical industry. Prominent players are highly designing next-generation USB devices to stay ahead in the competitive market. For instance, TE Connectivity launched its onboard USB Type-C receptacle connector; it is a waterproof device that protects systems in severe environments with IPX8 (waterproof rating) dust and water ingression performance. With the given waterproof rating, the USB Type-C connector maintains a continuous connection at a water depth of 1.5 m for a minimum of 30 minutes. Further, the growing aging demographics, combined with increasing demand for early-stage diagnosis of chronic diseases, is boosting the demand for medical imaging equipment worldwide, thereby boosting the demand for next-generation USB Type-C devices. Thus, such a rise in the use of USB Type-C systems, especially in the medical device manufacturing industry, is likely to provide growth opportunities to the USB device market players in the coming years.
