A Snapshot of the Market 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the UK’s 23rd largest export market worth £1.6 billion (£1=SR6.17 approx). It is one of the UK’s largest trading partners in the Middle East and our largest export market in the region. The UK is Saudi Arabia’s 2nd largest joint investor overall.

Healthcare in Saudi Arabia continues to be a thriving sector as the government continues to finance health services for a rapidly growing population of 28 million, which is growing by more than 3 percent per annum. It is the largest market for medical equipment and healthcare products in the Gulf and Middle East.

Market sources valued the medical equipment and supplies market in the Kingdom at £250 million in 2006, predominantly supplied through imports. Of this figure 69% accounted for medical equipment. This is expected to grow to £400 million by 2015. German, US and Japanese companies lead in the export of large medical equipment to the Kingdom whilst the small to medium size equipment is supplied mostly by the US, Germany, UK, Japan and other European suppliers.
