Executive Summary

Switzerland represents a small but very rich market. The medical equipment &
supplies market is estimated to be approximately US$4.1 billion in 2009, which
is comparable to China. Per capita spending is among the highest in the world at
over US$500.

Healthcare provision is largely decentralised, and paid for through a
combination of public and private insurance. Hospitals, clinics and physicians
are used to investing in the latest techniques and equipment, although an
increasing culture of cost awareness is spreading throughout the healthcare
system.

Domestic manufacturing of medical devices is very strong in Switzerland,
especially in the orthopaedics sector. The country is one of the world's leading
exporters of devices in this sector.

Although Switzerland remains outside of the European Union, the federal
government has increasingly aligned its medical device regulations to those of
the EU. Products with the CE Mark should experience little trouble getting
approved in Switzerland.
