| Medical Equipment |
| Overview |
| The highly competitive medical equipment market in Egypt is estimated at roughly $275 million, with an expected annual growth rate of 5% for the next two years. As there is little local production, the market relies mainly on imports and is extremely receptive to American products because of the advanced technology and associated training, and the well developed marketing systems. The USAID program has allocated $24.7 million for health care and family planning for the coming 2 years. Despite the solid reputation, U.S. market share is estimated at 20%. As the population continues to grow, more hospitals and medical and healthcare centers are being built. The Ministry and its donor partners are investing in renovating and re-equipping existing buildings with new technologies, and constructing new centers in priority, under-served areas. The private sector's demand for sophisticated medical equipment is also growing. |
