This month's "Spotlight" focuses on Germany and opportunities surrounding Medica.
|
|
Healthcare is one of the key sectors in the German economy. Medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers employ more workers than the automotive industry, totaling 900,000 jobs in 2016 according to the German Federal Economics Ministry. Adding the supplier industry and service providers, the figure jumped above the 7-million-jobs mark for the first time in 2016. Physicians, hospitals, the care industry, medical and pharma manufacturers generated a gross value added of 336.4 billion Euros in 2016, growing an average annual 3.8%, notably stronger than the overall economy. The health economy in Germany made up 12% of total gross domestic product in 2016. Germany has a long history of producing high quality medical equipment, with particular emphasis on surgical instruments, diagnostic imaging, dental products, and optical technologies. Not only is Germany the third largest market in the world after the United States and Japan, but also by far the largest European market - twice the size of the French market, and three times as large as those of Italy, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The German medical devices market ranks no. 1 in Commerce’s Top Market Reports.
