This year, TIME magazine published its first ranking of the world's leading healthcare companies in collaboration with Statista, a leading global provider of market and consumer data and rankings. The purpose of the ranking is to highlight health technology companies that are advancing innovation, increasing access and helping to create a more efficient and sustainable healthcare system. This is how the companies were selected.
Methodology
Research project “The world's leading healthcare companies in 2025is a comprehensive international analysis designed to identify the most innovative and influential medical technology companies around the world. The study is based on three key evaluation principles:
- Financial indicators
- Reputation analysis
- Internet interaction
The first dimension, Financial Performance, was assessed through a detailed analysis of financial indicators such as revenue per employee and funding amount. These indicators made it possible to assess the financial stability, growth potential and operational efficiency of companies. This dimension accounted for 50% of the total score.
The second dimension, Reputation Analysis, assessed how companies and their digital health solutions are perceived by the public. Using social listening techniques, the analysis captured sentiment, visibility, and perceived credibility by examining publicly available content such as news, blogs, forums, and social media activity. This parameter contributed 30% to the overall score.
The third dimension, online engagement, measured the reach and level of engagement of companies through their digital platforms. Website traffic served as a key indicator of user engagement. This dimension accounted for 20% of the total score.
Once the data was collected and assessed, it was combined and weighted into a scoring model based on three dimensions. The final score was calculated based on these parameters, each of which contributed to the overall score according to its weight. The top 400 companies were recognized as the world's leading healthcare companies.
Additionally, each company was classified into one of the following six HealthTech market segments:
