 Australia is the 8th largest export market for U.S. manufacturers of medical technology products and the 3rd largest market in the Asia Pacific region after Japan and China. Australia is a competitive and mature market, and there is demand for a full range of innovative medical equipment. The Australian population generally expects a high standard of medical treatment and there is a continuing need for state-of-the-art medical products. U.S. companies compete with other well-established multinational suppliers in the market.
Successful market entry strategies for Australia have three common elements: understanding the market, selecting the optimal partner, and providing ongoing support to that partner.
Most of the medical equipment used in Australia is imported and the majority of locally manufactured products are exported. The four major suppliers are the United States, Germany, Ireland, China and Japan.
The market is sophisticated, mature, and quick to adopt new healthcare technologies. Importers seek to obtain cost-effective and innovative products that will improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Australians have one of the longest life expectancies in the world and demand will continue to increase as Australia’s ageing population progressively relies on the health system for care.
