In 2025, the medical device industry is buzzing with AI integration—from optimizing manufacturing processes to enhancing device functionality.
Recent reports indicate that gen AI adoption in medtech is still emerging, with about half of companies in the pilot phase and nearly 20% scaling their solutions. In contrast, high-tech sectors show higher adoption, with medtech lagging by as much as 50% in some comparisons. Over 52% of U.S. manufacturers have embraced AI at some level, according to US Census Bureau data. Healthcare AI is growing at a staggering 36.83% CAGR. AI is transforming the value chain: predicting machine downtime, streamlining production, and even enabling personalized medicine through smart diagnostics and wearables. The global AI market in pharma and biotech alone is hitting $1.94 billion this year, projected to skyrocket to $16.49 billion by 2034.
But here's the overlooked opportunity: While companies pour resources into AI for devices and operations, many are sleeping on its power in sales and marketing. Globally, generative AI use is surging, with adoption rates reaching 95% across US companies in 2025. Yet in medtech specifically, the focus remains heavily on R&D and production efficiencies—leaving sales teams reliant on outdated, manual processes. Organizations are allocating substantial portions of their budgets to gen AI in sales and marketing, with nearly 20% of marketers dedicating over 40% of their budgets to AI-driven campaigns. Medtech leaders are starting to see AI's potential in revenue management, with 82% anticipating rapid growth in its adoption. Why the gap? Operations AI delivers tangible cost savings (such as 5 to 9% reductions in commercial spending for pharma and medtech firms), but sales AI can accelerate deal cycles, personalize buyer education, and convert leads faster in a complex B2B landscape.
Imagine deploying AI not just in your cleanrooms, but on your website: Educating potential buyers about your contract manufacturing capabilities, diagnosing their pain points, and guiding them toward solutions—all without a single sales rep lifting a finger initially.
That's where tools like TheSkinnyAI come in.
