The market is the eighth largest in our Asia Pacific (APAC) region and ranks among the top 30 in the world.  Per capita spending is above average for the APAC region but close to the global average. Other medical devices has the largest market share, while the markets for dental products and orthopaedics & prosthetics remain underdeveloped. The market will see moderate growth in local currency terms and higher growth in US dollar terms due to the appreciatory trend of the MYR. 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.
