Join us for this virtual event in collaboration with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and ABRAIDI covering export opportunities for UK medical devices manufacturers into Brazil.
Brazil has the largest healthcare market in Latin America and spends 9.1% of its GDP on healthcare. The market size for medical devices in Brazil is currently valued at approximately £9.2 billion and Brazil's medical device imports climbed by 12.9% in 2020, totalling over £5 billion. In Brazil, imported medical equipment accounts for 80% of the market. Brazil is second in South America behind Mexico as the 14th-largest market for American medical devices.
With a rapidly growing middle class demanding access to better quality healthcare and a public health system that can’t meet this demand, Brazil’s Private Healthcare industry is booming and demand in the sector has never been higher. Its Private Healthcare market is the world’s second largest by population size, and much of the public health system relies on private providers. The private sector accounts for over 60% of hospital beds and the High-tech market is largely reliant on imports.
It's therefore worthwhile for UK companies to consider partnerships with local industries for the assembling or manufacturing of medical products in Brazil, as it can help to reduce duties and allow them to use Brazil as a gateway to other countries in the Mercosur bloc.
If you’re a UK business involved in the Healthcare industry with a strong interest in breaking into or exploring further business opportunities in Brazil, then this opportunity is for you.
We will be presenting an overview of the Medical Devices sector, the opportunities the market offers, market access, and the main challenges faced by UK businesses, as well as a variety of accompanying descriptions. At the end of the presentation, you will also have the chance to ask the panellists questions in a Q&A session.
After the webinar, we will be running a matchmaking exercise with our providers based around Hospitalar in São Paulo, in an effort to connect your business with Brazilian counterparts that have an interest in discussing your products/services in further detail. Please note that this selection process will be at the discretion of Santander UK and driven by current business need and local demand. As such we can’t guarantee that all businesses will be successfully matched.
