The Asian medical market is booming. According to management consulting firm, McKinsey & Company, the company predicts that Asia will become the second highest medical technology market in the world by 2020, accounting for a third of global sales by 2025. In the ASEAN countries, with its population of over 600 million people and a GDP of 2.76 trillion US dollars, there is a rapid growth of the middle class and expansion in healthcare coverage. Both of which are factors driving the use of medical devices across Southeast Asia. Such products are likely to see growth of between 8 to 10 per cent in most markets, led by the consumables, diagnostic imaging and lab devices segments.
As a specialist exhibition on manufacturing processes for medical technology, the 5th edition of MEDICAL MANUFACTURING ASIA makes a return to Singapore as the region's leading specialist trade fair for Asia's MedTech and medical manufacturing processes sectors. Jointly organised by SPETA and Messe Düsseldorf Asia, MEDICAL MANUFACTURING ASIA 2020 will feature an extensive product range covering the upstream and downstream processes in MedTech sectors, including new materials, components, intermediate products, packaging and services, to micro and nanotechnology, testing systems and services, as well as materials, substance and components for medical technology. Industryfocused business forums will also headline the upcoming edition of the specialist trade fair.
As Singapore continues to grow as a competitive economic hub for the region in terms of, ease of doing business, best labour force, strong IP protection and robust logistics infrastructure, it has also presented itself as a competitive MedTech manufacturing hub. The 3-day exhibition therefore strongly reflects Singapore’s focus on moving upstream to not just production but also value engineering. For companies keen on engaging global MedTech companies and see Singapore as an ideal base to develop products for the Asian region, MEDICAL MANUFACTURING ASIA 2020 provides a highly relevant springboard.
This sentiment is also seen in Singapore’s continued growth in manufacturing, where MedTech output has grown annually by 11 per cent versus 6.3 per cent in general manufacturing for the past 5 years. Backing this is Singapore’s strong supplier base – with 6 of the world’s Top 10 EMS companies undertaking activities from the entire value chain, in medical imaging equipment, analytical lab instruments, medical consumables, patient care devices and diagnostics equipment in the Lion City and the government’s commitment to R&D capabilities, having set aside S$19 billion for Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) activities until 2020. Singapore is also home to a growing community of start-ups thanks to the availability of public funding and a favourable infrastructure for early stage innovation.
Against this industry landscape, MEDICAL MANUFACTURING ASIA 2020 continues to attract a highly international exhibitor base coming mainly from Asia and Europe and a trade visitor base that is predominantly represented by the medical devices and instruments, medical and healthcare, and electrical and electronic sectors from around the region.
MEDICAL MANUFACTURING ASIA 2020 is also synergistically co-located with the region’s leading medical and healthcare exhibition, MEDICAL FAIR ASIA – thus providing an end-to-end solutions and business sourcing platform across the entire value chain for the medical, healthcare, medical manufacturing and medtech sectors. Both MEDICAL FAIR ASIA and MEDICAL MANUFACTURING ASIA 2020 are part of the MEDICAlliance’s network of trade fairs—sharing the global expertise of MEDICA, REHACARE and COMPAMED—by the Messe Düsseldorf Group in Germany.
