Despite an expanding manufacturing industry, the market remains heavily dependent on imports in most product sectors. Malaysia is a net exporter of medical devices, due to a large trade surplus for rubber based products such as surgical gloves and catheters, and more recently other portable aids. Healthcare expenditure is near evenly split between public and private sector. The private sector is the main purchaser of high-tech equipment.

The medical device testing services include biocompatibility studies, chemistry studies, microbiological & sterility testing, and package validation services. The demand for all these services is expected to rise owing to growing trend of outsourcing in preclinical and clinical phase of R&D by medical device companies.

Third smallest market in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Per capita spending is one of the lowest in the world. Market will record double-digit growth over the next five years in local currency terms. Other medical devices and consumables have the largest market shares. The market is heavily reliant on imports. Domestic manufacturing is concentrated in Sialkot and centres mainly around steel surgical instruments and other hand held medical devices.

Over three quarters of total health expenditure comes from the public sector, primarily central & local governments and social security programmes.

There are two types of batteries including primary and secondary. Primary batteries are the one that can be used only once whereas secondary batteries can be charged and reused. Various batteries include lead acid, nickel cadmium, lithium ion, nickel metal hydride, and alkaline.

The scope of the report is limited to the revenue generated from the sales of nuclear imaging systems, also known as nuclear medicine equipment, which include SPECT and PET. SPECT and PET can be further subcategorized as standalone and hybrid systems. The standalone equipment work independently, whereas two technologies, such as PET and computed tomography (CT) or SPECT and CT, are used together for better outcomes and are known as hybrid PET and hybrid SPECT, respectively.
