The Medical Device Market: Romania

Summary

As a very open economy reliant on exports, Singapore was especially affected by the 2001 slowdown of the US economy as demand for electronics, in particular, dropped. In 2002/2003 however, the city state's economy began to improve and in a bid to widen the economic base and seek new growth areas, the government has taken policy and legislative steps to encourage pharmaceutical and bio-tech companies to settle there. Life sciences, medicine, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology have been designated one of the country's four "industrial pillars". Known for a strong and focused industrial policy, government funds totalling US$1.7 billion have been channelled into university and research centres in a bid to enable Singapore to capitalise on these growth sectors. Companies within these sectors can expect to find a generally favourable and encouraging business environment.

Singapore remains a healthy and strong market due to the country's commitment and demand for improving and upgrading healthcare. Healthy trade links with the USA and EU have played a large part in this industry resilience. Singapore is a favoured location for multinationals, both as a manufacturing base and as a regional distribution centre.
