The world population is aging fast, with seniorcitizens in industrialized countries gettingwealthier. That is why medical technologyis a major driver of global economic growth.Many Swiss companies play a leading rolein this important and promising market.

In Switzerland, even older senior citizensusually enjoy good health. According to datapublished by the World Health Organization(WHO), Switzerland ranks third, behind Japanand Sweden. This exceptional result for publichealth has a cost; the amount spent on health-care accounts for 11% of the Swiss GDP.

The Swiss medical technology industry datesback to the 1960s, when a few companies ofthe machine, metal, and electro-electronicsindustry joined forces to apply their know-how in the material and machining technologysector to start manufacturing orthopedicscrews and implants. Throughout the years,the Helvetian medical technology segmenthas expanded significantly. Swiss companiesare present in virtually all medical technologysectors, occupying a leading position in mostof them. Besides ear-aiding devices, textilematerials that replace human tissue, andlive surgery broadcast, the sectors productrange includes equipment for minimallyinvasive surgery, and robot-assisted motortherapy for patients with brain or backbonelesions. Around 500 Swiss companiescomprise the Swiss medical technology sectorreaching an annual turnover of approximatelyUS$ 5 billion 90% abroad.

Several favorable factors drive the Swissmedical technology sector: Switzerland isgenerally seen as a clean country, whichhas a long tradition in precision mechanics,relying on highly-educated physicians,laboratory and nursing personnel, and ahighly-developed university system.

The increasing life expectancy of theBrazilian population combined with thegeneral growth in the countrys health sectormakes the Brazilian market attractive forSwiss companies dedicated to providingmedical technologies. With their eyes turnedto this promising market, Swiss companiesin the medical technology sector havechosen the HOSPITALAR fair as the idealplatform to develop or expand their traderelationship with Brazil and the South-American region at large.
