The PTCA procedure or angioplasty is a major strategy in the treatment of Coronary Artery Disease. In this article, we forecast the demand for PTCA procedures on a monthly basis using past data. There are a total of 80 hospitals in the country wherein PTCA procedures are currently performed. Of these, data was collected for 21 hospitals in the North and East on the number of PTCA procedures performed from January 2003 to June 2004, for a period of 18 months. Based on volumes of procedures performed, the hospitals were divided into 8 segments. Forecasting of demand was done for each segment and then the segment level forecasts were combined to give an overall forecast for the next month, i.e., July 2004. The forecasting procedure is based on two methods, Exponential Smoothing and Exponential Smoothing with Trend (Holts Method).

Purpose Medical device industry in India is a niche sector with few key players but it possesses huge potential for both domestic and international trade. In recent years, a number of regulatory relaxations have been provided to medical device manufacturers in India to enhance production and further trade especially exports. Though the industry is highly dependent on imports, the purpose of this paper is to identify key medical devices using the revealed comparative advantage, which can be exported from India by identifying new markets. Design/methodology/approach For the selected medical devices, India’s exports to the world and the newly identified markets are forecasted using the autoregressive integrated moving average model of regression. Findings It is seen that three major medical devices emerge to be the ones where India has the capacity and potential to manufacture and export. These medical devices are electro-cardiographs, magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and oscilloscopes and oscillographs being exported to the USA, Australia; China and the USA, respectively, which is rising in recent years. Research limitations/implications As the forecasted values indicate that there is an increasing potential in exports from India to the world of the selected medical devices, there is an urgent need to develop this industry and enhance exports from India. Very few studies have been carried out to examine and forecast exports from specific sectors or industries which is the need of the hour now. Originality/value The paper also provides suggestions to exporters and policymakers on leveraging the future export potential of selected medical devices.
