Article Abstract:
The factors affecting the medical supplies industry's future performance include the development of new technologies and pressure to control healthcare costs. Given those factors, some companies will suffer, but those with cost-effective products will thrive. Healthcare stocks are generally perceived as defensive, but they have proved vulnerable to the market's increased volatility.
