Population growth, increasing health expenditure, chronic disease incidence and new technology acquisition, particularly diagnostic & orthopaedic equipment in the public sector, are factors contributing to growth. However, the weakening value of the Mexican peso against the US dollar has limited market growth in US dollars. The improved economic outlook has boosted growth prospects in the 2012-17 period. Future growth will depend in part on growth within the US economy, which remains the country's main trade and investment partner.
Public sector spending, financed primarily from federal taxes, has been expanding as a share of the total over the past few years, as the country increases its targeted spending on the poorest. Universal health insurance coverage was achieved in 2011.
Exports of medical equipment and supplies were valued at US$6.2 billion in 2011. Almost all of Mexico's exports are shipped across to the USA, 91.8% of the total in 2011. Medical consumables are the major export area, accounting for 40% of the total.
