DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c3dde7/the_medical_device) has
announced the addition of the "The Medical Device Market: Denmark" report to
their offering.

The size of the Danish medical device market is estimated to be US$2,161 million
in 2009, equal to US$394 per capita. The market is expected to expand by 11.6%
over the next few years to reach US$3,738 million by 2014, equal to US$671 per

Denmark has a stable political system and a stable economy. However, Denmark is
likely to be affected by the global economic downturn, with GDP real growth
expected to fall to -3.5% in 2009, according to figures from the Economist
Intelligence Unit, and gradually rising to reach a real growth of 2.0% in 2014.

Healthcare expenditure has continued its steady growth in the past few years,
increasing by 7.1% to reach DKK118.3 billion (US$21.7 billion) in 2007, with
private expenditure accounting for around 16% of the total.

There are many domestic medical device manufacturers, some of whom have a global
presence. This has resulted in a balance of trade surplus for many years. In
2008, this amounted to US$977.1 million. Imports and exports have seen strong
growth over recent years; imports increased by a CAGR of 16.9% in the period
2004 to 2008, while exports increased by a CAGR of 10.7% in the same period.
Many imports are used in the assembly of medical devices, and are then exported.

Denmark's domestic manufacturers are mainly in the fields of diagnostics and
orthopaedic & prosthetic appliances, especially hearing aids. There has been a
sharp rise in the amount of X-ray apparatus production recently, with a large
increase in the production of X-ray tubes, in particular, in 2007, when they
were valued at DKK8.7 billion (US$1.6 billion).
