Research and Markets: An Essential Report on the Medical Device Market in Israel

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/99f5bd/the_medical_device) has
announced the addition of the "The Medical Device Market: Israel" report to
their offering. 

The Israeli medical device market is the largest in the Middle East. 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. In addition to the report are 3 free quarterly updated
outlook reports, enabling you to keep up to date with market developments for a
year. 

Includes 3 quarterly updated outlook reports! 

Israel borders Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. Lying
within its borders are areas that the Palestinians claim as their own; the
threat of terrorism dominates the political landscape. 

Israel has the largest medical device market in the Middle East region and this
is set to grow at an attractive rate of 6.1% in the medium term. Much of the
market, at over 80%, is supplied by imports, and a significant portion of these
in value terms are dominated by "high-end" products falling under the diagnostic
imaging apparatus category. 

In terms of expenditure, Israel spends around 8.0% of total GDP on healthcare,
and per capita spending rates are considered high by regional and world
standards. Much of spending is in the public sector and the government has made
allowances in recent years to expand the number of services and treatment
offered by public health insurance programmes. The country also has a rapidly
growing elderly demographic that is contributing to rising healthcare costs. 

As well as being a political ally, the US is one of the leading suppliers of
imports, along with Germany; the two countries shipped a combined total of
US$292.1 million, equal to just under half of total imports in 2007. The EU and
the US are vital trade partners for Israel, as the country is isolated from its
Arab neighbours and conducts virtually no trade with them. 

Thanks to a substantial domestic production capacity, Israel exported over US$1
billion worth of goods in 2007, primarily diagnostic imaging equipment, which
was responsible for over half the total. 

The report estimates the medical device market in Israel to be worth US$661
million in 2009, equal to US$89 per capita. The market is expected to experience
annual growth of 6.1%, taking it to US$889 million, or US$110 per capita, by
2014. 

Executive Summary:
