The opportunities and challenges of Vision 2030

Saudi Arabia spends a lot of money on healthcare and is investing heavily in national healthcare provision as part of Vision 2030. This opens up opportunities as well as challenges for Swiss medical technology companies: the market is growing, but this means that constant regulatory updates and guidelines must be followed. Get tips on how to do this in our webinar.

The Saudi medtech market is estimated to be worth two billion US dollars and is growing by about ten percent annually. For medical devices and in vitro diagnostics in particular, this opens up interesting and attractive opportunities – and challenges. The market is regulated; Saudi Arabia recently introduced the Medical Device Interim Regulations as part of its Vision 2030. In order to enter the market, all manufacturers, service providers, dealers and distributors of medical devices require market approval from the Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA). They must also have a QM system that is compliant with "ISO 13485:2016".

Opportunities and challenges

The constant regulatory updates and guidelines of the Saudi Modernization Program and Vision 2030 are not without their problems. Suppliers and manufacturers face various challenges in the areas of regulation or certification. They also face obstacles in customs clearance and payment collection.
