Kalorama Information Publishes Review of Growth Opportunities in EMEA Medical Device Markets
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2014 -- Kalorama Information has published a complete study on the European, Middle Eastern and African device markets. The firm says these areas represent significant opportunity for makers of medical devices. As part of its coverage, this study “The Market for Medical Devices in EMEA” concentrates on the EMEA medical device markets and estimates markets for specific device categories. The report contains specific device market estimates for the following countries and regions:
• Europe
• Africa
• Middle East
• Germany
• France
• UK
• Italy
• Other Europe
• Israel
• Iran
• UAE
• Jordan
• Saudi Arabia
• South Africa
• Egypt
The EMEA market for medical devices is highly competitive in nature. The industry has witnessed the usual business cycles of low and high profitability as well as high and low demand. Overall, this industry remains stable owing to the relatively inelastic nature of demand from diseased patients. But various trends in its external environment, such as government regulations, buyers’ increasing bargaining power, and increasing competition, are hurting profits. The industry continues its transition toward consolidation. This will help the participants, although fewer in number, to wield more power. Although not radically innovative in nature, small improvements in products are helping customers and industry players as well. There continues a high reliance on relationship-based marketing. Establishing a sound relationship with distributors also helps, as manufacturers are able to leverage their relationships with distributors and home health agencies to move their products.
Each region and specific country within that region was sub-segmented into main medical device categories including:
• Orthopedic
• Cardiovascular
• Gynecology (GYN) and Urinary
• Respiratory
• Gastrointestinal and General Surgery
• Imaging
• IVD
• Neurology and Other
All market data pertains to the EMEA market at the manufacturers’ level. Data are expressed in current U.S. dollars. The market was further segmented by select countries such as Germany, France, UK, Italy, Israel, Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, South Africa, Egypt and others. The base year for data was 2013.
