Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ee564a/the_medical_device)
has announced the addition of the "The
Medical Device Market: Philippines" report to their offering.
The Philippines has some domestic capacity to produce basic hospital
items, but the majority of the market is supplied by imports. This
report is ideal for executives wanting to understand the key drivers in
the medical market and have access to a wealth of statistical data,
including five-year market projections. Included with the report are 3
free quarterly updated outlook reports, enabling you to keep up to date
with market developments for a year.
Despite having one of the largest populations in the world, let alone
ASEAN, the country remains poor by large, and most of the opportunities
are centred around Manila and surrounding areas on the island of Luzon,
with areas such as Mindanao lagging behind overall.
The Philippines medical device market is expected to grow at a rate of
4.1% in the medium term. This growth will be spearheaded by the private
sector, medical tourism and a steady economy. The country will continue
to rely heavily on imported medical equipment, and some of the key areas
of growth, based on recent trends, are ophthalmic instruments &
appliances, syringes needles & catheters, X-ray equipment, orthopaedic &
prosthetic appliances and surgical gloves.
The Philippines has a history of political instability. The current
ruling administration has had its fair share of controversy. The highly
devolved health sector makes it difficult to stamp out corruption and
other bureaucratic problems.
Medical device spending is less than US$3 per capita in 2008, similar to
that in Colombia and Ukraine. The Philippines has some domestic capacity
to produce basic hospital items, but the majority of the market is
supplied by imports. Private hospitals in Manila represent the best
prospects for suppliers.
