摘要
The medical device industry (MDI) has excellent potential for development in Iran due to the current Domestic Production (DP) potential and the increasing global demand for medical products. The present study aimed to identify the driving forces of the DP in the MDI in Iran. This explorative study was conducted by a three-round Fuzzy Delphi method. The fuzzy weighted means of each factor paved the way for the final ranking. A total of 19 key driving forces of the DP in MDI were obtained. The most important factors were: 1) access to medical-grade raw materials, energy, and physical infrastructure; 2) medical device demand; 3) research and development; 4) complying with international regulations; 5) economic stability; 6) human resources expertise; and 7) emergence and integration of technologies. The findings offer practical implications for policy-making, developing futures scenarios, and road mapping. Additionally, they provide components of production strategy development.
