According to the 2025 Global Medtech Contract Development and Manufacturing Report, the global medtech CDMO market reached $89 billion, reflecting a robust 9.2% year-over-year growth rate. As the market increasingly demands integrated solutions, leading CDMOs have shifted toward offering end-to-end services—from design through commercial-scale manufacturing. Choosing the right partner has become more important and more complex than ever.However, starting a new partnership is challenging without the foundation of past collaboration. This makes it essential to understand the key factors for identifying the optimal manufacturer.
In the interventional field, a partner's ability to control production from start to finish is key. Look for a partner that controls everything—from medical-grade raw materials to core components and final assembly. This reduces supply chain risks, ensures consistent quality, and accelerates your time-to-market.
One-size-fits-all solutions are insufficient for complex medical devices. The ideal partner must be able to translate clinical needs into high-precision components. Whether you need a unique catheter profile or a specialized balloon catheter, the ability to custom-develop products to exact specifications is a sign of a strong manufacturer.
A good partner does more than just manufacture. They should provide support throughout the entire project—from Design for Manufacturing to testing and global registration. A partner that offers NMPA, FDA, and CE market access support can significantly simplify the path to market and reduce regulatory risks.
A successful partnership is built on trust and responsibility. Beyond having certifications like ISO 13485, a leading partner should have a plan to reduce environmental impact. This includes managing waste and energy efficiently while maintaining a long-term commitment to product safety.
Choosing the right manufacturing partner lays the foundation for product excellence and commercial success. The right partner can help reduce costs and risks, optimize production processes, improve quality, and accelerate time to market.
Haofeng Medical serves as a representative example. As a global CDMO platform for interventional medical devices, Haofeng Medical offers mature production lines and proven processes across a range of interventional products, including catheters, balloons , and guidewires. Notably, Haofeng was the first manufacturer in Shanghai certified to manufacture under the MAH policy, establishing a leadership position in the industry.
More importantly, Haofeng Medical has built a vertically integrated platform, with in-house capabilities spanning medical-grade raw materials, manufacturing equipment, core components, and active medical device R&D and production.
