Turkey medical device market is expected to witness a growth rate of around 7.8% during the forecast period of 2022-2028. With a population of over 82 million, a well-established public and private healthcare system in Turkey is accessible and equitable to every resident. Turkey is one of the prominent markets for medical devices in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region. According to the data published by the Turkey Government, around 80% of Turkey’s medical devices are imported, of which nearly 20% are imported from the US.
Strong macroeconomic growth, increasing disposable income, a rapidly growing population, government support through manufacturing and R&D incentives, and technological advancements in medical devices like smart medical devices are some of the key factors propelling the demand for medical devices in Turkey. In August 2021, Hungarian medical device manufacturer Medicor announced to invest US$ 2.4 million for incubator production in the Turkish capital Ankara. This investment is one of the pioneering steps for economic and trade cooperation between Turkey and Hungary.
Medical Device Regulations in Turkey
Turkey government is supporting the manufacturing sector of medical devices by improving infrastructure and launching localization programs. Further, increasing healthcare professionals in the country will lead to the development of the overall healthcare sector. Although, Turkey has taken steps further to align its legislation with the European Union (EU). Medical device manufacturers must comply with Turkey’s Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the Medical Device Vitro Diagnostic Regulation to market their products in the country. These regulations aim to ensure the safety and protection of patients, high-quality medical devices in the market, and a transparent sustainable medical device market in Turkey. Moreover, these regulations require economic operators, manufacturers, authorized representatives, and Turkish importers to strengthen traceability and transparency in the medical device market. Before releasing medical equipment in the market, manufacturers must register it with EUDAMED. The responsibilities and requirements related to EUDAMED apply six months after the EU Commission publishes a notification in the EU Official Journal that EUDAMED is fully operational and meets the functional specifications.
The consumables segment gain significant traction
The consumables segment is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. According to the Turkey Government, the significant growth will lead the market to reach US$ 6.4 billion by 2026 making consumables the second most significantly growing segment. The growing use of suture products, increasing use of syringes, needles & catheters, the increasing outpatient visit rate, and the demand for ostomy and first-aid products are the factors supporting the increase in consumables in Turkey. Consumables are majorly imported from leading suppliers in Malaysia, China, and the US. Further, the growing public and private health providers, and the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer are creating the demand for diagnostic imaging devices in the region.
