The Medical sector delivered good organic revenue and<br />

profit growth in all of our niches, reaching record revenue<br />

ROS and ROCE continue well above Group targets. We<br />

continued to strengthen the Medical sector organisation<br />

MARKET TRENDS AND GROWTH DRIVERS<br />

The Medical sector growth driver of increasing demand for healthcare<br />

is underpinned by:<br />

• worldwide population ageing and increasing life expectancy<br />

• increasing prevalence of diabetes, obesity and hypertension<br />

• increasing healthcare access in developing economies<br />

• new medical diagnostic technologies<br />

• new or improved surgical and pharmaceutical therapies<br />

Global demand for medical devices is forecast to continue to grow by about<br />

5% per year for the next few years with the highest growth of 8.5% in Asia.<br />

A steady rise in the proportion of the global population aged over 60<br />

drives demand for healthcare, in both developed and developing countries.<br />

Because eyesight problems and high blood pressure are both age-related,<br />

population ageing is a key driver for our ophthalmology and hypertension<br />

management businesses.<br />
