DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w3m74w/the_medical_device) has announced the addition of the "The Medical Device Market: Bangladesh" report to their offering.
Bangladesh remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Poverty is widespread throughout and GDP is extremely low, despite it being the eighth most populous country on earth. Frequent large scale flooding also remains a constant threat.
Government funding is low and the country continues to rely on international aid. An unstable political environment tarnished by corruption has made healthcare reform somewhat of an afterthought.
There is a marked disparity in the standard of healthcare between rural and urban areas. The capital city Dhaka enjoys a higher standard of primary care, and is home to a modest but growing private sector while healthcare coverage in remote regions remains insufficient.
Bangladesh has virtually no domestic manufacturing industry and only produces a negligible number of low-tech medical items. Almost all medical goods have to be imported.
In 2011, the Bangladeshi medical device market was estimated to be US$115 million, equal to just US$0.7 per capita. The per capita spending rate is one of the lowest in the world, similar to Indonesia.
Based on collated monthly data, imports for the year ending December 2011 reached US$98.5 million, a fall of 21.3% over the previous year. The three categories that achieved positive growth over the previous year were consumables, diagnostic imaging and orthopaedics, with rates of 5.8%, 16.2% and 7.6% respectively.
