The Medical Device Market in Portugal Is Estimated at US$867 Million in 2009, with A per Capita Rate of US$81. This Is Equal to 3.6% of Portugal's Total Health Expenditure. Consumables and Orthopaedic and Implantable Products Together Account for 47% of The Total. The Market Is Predicted to Expand by An Average of 6.5% over The next Few Years Taking IT to US$1,185 Million by 2014.

in September 2009, The Socialist Party Retained Power in The Elections. Jose Socrates Has Promised An Economic Stimulus Public Spending Programme to Boost The Economy amidst A Predicted 4.2% Contraction in Gdp This Year. Unemployment Has Reached A Twenty Year High (9% of The Population). The Appointment of A Local Agent for The Portuguese Market Is Essential. The Majority of Medical Equipment Sales Are Made by Specialised Importers and Distributors. There Has Been A Trend for More Foreign Companies to Set up in Portugal to Take Direct Control of Product Distribution.

Portugal Is The Least Wealthy of The Eu-15 Countries, with Gdp per Capita of US$20,020 in 2009. Spending on Medical Equipment Is Low by Eu-15 Standards, Although IT Is Comparable to Countries Such as Greece or The More Developed Cee Nations Such as The Czech Republic. The Government Is Making Progress in Reducing The Amount of Fiscal Debt, Reaching Its Target of Reaching A Level below 3.0% of Gdp by The End of 2007, but There Is Still Some Way to Go. The Public Hospital Sector Is Still Characterised by High Levels of Debt and Late Payments to Suppliers.

The Structure of The Public Hospital System Has Been Reorganised; A Large Number of Hospitals Being Given A Greater Degree of Autonomy in An Effort to Improve Efficiency and Reduce Costs. Portugal Has A Large Number of Private Facilities, but They Tend to Be Small and The Sector Is Generally Fragmented. The Government Has Commenced A New Hospital Construction Programme That Will Be Financed by Public/Private Partnerships, An Idea Borrowed from The UK.

The Portuguese Market Is Largely Supplied by Imports from The Eu, with 87% of Total Imports Originating from The Eu-15 in 2007. Spain, Germany, The Netherlands and France Were The Lead Suppliers. Medical Device Imports Totalled US$695.1 Million in 2007, with Orthopaedic & Prosthetic Appliances, Electromedical Equipment and Medical Supplies Being Key Categories. Imports Account for 84% of The Medical Device Market. There Is Some Domestic Production of Low-Tech Items, but Little Multinational Manufacturing.
