We innovate to create successful products which improve people's lives.

IDC (Industrial Design Consultancy Ltd) is a leading product design and development company with offices in the UK and China. We are dedicated to applying our creativity and expertise in industrial design, mechanical and electronic engineering to ensure your development project results in a commercially successful product.

Innovation is at the core of what we do - researching and exploring the needs of users, defining the ideal user experience and then harnessing and developing the technology needed to deliver that in a commercially effective product. At IDC, we do more than create the design - we support you through every step of the process including IP generation, protection and regulatory approvals. Being a product design consultancy certified to ISO13485 for the development of medical devices allows us to guide you through the approvals process for European CE (MDR), US FDA and China NMPA registration.

Our teams in London and Shanghai work with companies around the world to ensure they not only get innovative new products, but that they also get high quality, cost effective and reliable production delivered on time and on budget. A recent analysis of client projects showed that 91% of our work went on to become successful products in the market – a record few in our industry could match.

With over 50 years of experience, by choosing IDC you’ll be investing in a trustworthy partner with the skills, experience and processes to get your next product to market.
