Published on November 2, 2009 at 10:51 AM · No Comments

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.
