The medical device market is now comparable to Brazil in US dollar terms. Other medical devices and consumables have the largest market shares. Market growth is likely to benefit from higher economic growth, despite uncertainty around AMLO and NAFTA renegotiations. The private sector accounts for over 60% of the medical device market. Mexico is the leading Latin American medical device exporter and importer. Mexico is a popular manufacturing base for US medical device companies. Medical device maquiladora activity concentrates along the US-border.

The introduction of private capital into Mexico's oil and gas sector will revive upstream activity throughout our forecast period. While the 2013 reform package did not challenge the dominant narrative of the country, namely, that the state and its people are the owners of Mexico's hydrocarbons, it did create a framework which allowed private actors to play a significant role moving forward. We believe these measures, coupled with vast, untapped reserves, will bolster investment despite a lower oil price environment, reversing more than a decade of oil production declines.

Mexico is one of the largest consumers of generic medicines in the world and is home to the second largest pharmaceuticals market in Latin America, after Brazil. Pharmaceuticals accounted for 14.9% of healthcare spending in 2017, equivalent to sales of MXN189.68bn (USD10.03bn). In 2017, the country's per capita spending amounted to USD78, while pharmaceutical sales as a percentage of GDP came to 0.87%. The government's efforts to improve competitiveness in Mexico's pharmaceutical sector combined with the country's economic outperformance compared with large countries like Brazil will improve Mexico's attractiveness to drugmakers. Regulatory changes in particular have been aimed at laying incentives for multinational drugmakers to prioritise the country's pharmaceutical market. The weakness of the peso over recent years has had a significant negative impact on multinational pharmaceutical revenues through the translation into reporting currencies. The Mexican pharmaceutical market contracted in US dollar terms for three consecutive years from 2014-2016 and only posted weak growth in 2017. Despite this, we forecast that the peso weakness is coming to an end and the longer-term outlook for multinationals operating in the country is more positive.

Years of political isolation and significant barriers to entry for foreign players have resulted in Myanmar's undeveloped competitive landscape, and we believe changes are on the way. We expect the construction sector to grow at a strong rate as there is substantial infrastructure deficit in the country, while financing for these projects improves. This offers significant opportunities for foreign construction companies as significant reforms started in 2011.

The key laws governing oil and gas exploration in Myanmar are The Oilfields Act 1918, The Oilfield Rules 1936, The Petroleum Act 1934, The Petroleum Rules 1937, The Essential Supplies and Services Act 1947, The Petroleum Resources (Development Regulation) Act 1957, The Law Amending the Petroleum Resources (Development Regulation) Act 1969 and The Myanmar Petroleum Concession Rules 1962.

On-demand transportation services are gaining momentum and witnessing high demand. These services offer various benefits to users which enables them to pre-book their vehicles at economical prices. Service providers also offers the users to modify and cancel their bookings. Additionally, owing to the increasing number of connected vehicles, the on-demand transportation market is expected to witness growth over the forecast period.
