India specific Insight

India needs medical technology suited for its conditions and ground realities. At present, majority of sophisticated medical devices and high technology equipment are imported from other countries and used in India. This leads to not only higher costs, but also a mismatch between the need and the solution. The growing market for medical devices for captive consumption in India, today justifies the investment in R&D and product development strategy focussing on specific needs of India. This is also in line with the major governmental policy thrust on “Make In India”.

An extract from the FICCI sector profile on Indian medical devices sector 2015 reads “The Medical Devices and Equipment industry, valued at US$ 2.5 billion contributes only 6% of India’s US$ 40 billion healthcare sector. Moreover, it is growing at a faster annual rate of 15% than 10-12% growth seen in the Healthcare sector in its entirety. A rise in the number of hospitals and the increased requirement for healthcare facilities creates a need for sophisticated devices and equipment, which can provide accurate treatment to individuals.”
