 Total market demand in France for medical equipment was estimated at USD 7.327 billion in 2015, with imports accounting for USD 3.824 billion. Imports from the United States were forecast at USD 1.262 billion, or 30 percent of total imports. This percentage is expected to remain approximately the same over the next three years, with overall demand growing at three percent annually.
France ranks among the top five largest medical device markets in the world. France spends three percent of total health expenditure on medical equipment and supplies and 0.3 percent of GDP, which is average for a West European country. The overall market is generally well developed, however certain sub-sectors in the more innovative forms of technology still present opportunities for entry. While the public sector is the largest purchaser of diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical equipment, the private sector is also a very dynamic player.
