Saudi Riyadh Medical Devices Exhibition

[Exhibition Overview]

    The Saudi Riyadh Medical Equipment Exhibition, known in English as GLOBAL HEALTH EXHIBITION, has received strong support from multiple local official bodies including the Saudi royal family, the Saudi Chamber of Commerce, and the Saudi Ministry of Health.

    Nowadays, this exhibition has become the largest industry platform in Saudi Arabia's medical sector for communication, networking, and facilitating trade cooperation. It showcases the latest medical technologies, related products, various equipment, and cutting-edge developments in the laboratory industry, while also conveying emerging industry trends, providing technological innovation information, and relevant insights on industry investment and development.

    As the largest end-market in the Middle East region, Saudi Arabia not only ranks first in per capita medical expenditure in the Middle East, but also has the fastest-growing population in the Gulf region. Leveraging its high-welfare policies, Saudi Arabia utilises its revenues from high oil prices to improve the quality of life of its citizens, while the continuously expanding population keeps stimulating the development of the local medical industry.

    At present, the population aged 65 and above in Saudi Arabia continues to grow, and the number of foreign workers keeps rising. According to forecasts, the local population will increase by 30% over the next decade. These factors are driving Saudi Arabia to continuously expand its healthcare services to meet the growing health needs of the public.

    Currently, Saudi Arabia does not yet possess the local manufacturing capability for high-end medical devices, and imported products account for over 90% of the market share. The main categories of medical equipment that will be in demand locally in the future include the following:

    - Imaging medical equipment such as X-ray machines, CT scanners, and ultrasound diagnostic devices

    - Surgical equipment, dialysis equipment, anaesthesia equipment, and in-vitro diagnostic products

    - Various daily medical consumables for hospitals
