Summary

While Slovakia remains less wealthy than its former partner, the Czech Republic, it is now very much a Western-facing, if small, market. This in-depth market report provides 5-year market forecasts, analysis of trends, domestic production, medical imports and exports, health provision and health funding. In addition to the report are 3 free quarterly updated outlook reports, enabling you to keep up to date with market developments for a year.

Includes 3 quarterly updated outlook reports!

The Slovak Republic is geographically well-placed in central Europe, bordering the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. The capital is Bratislava. The population is estimated at 5.5 million in 2009 and is ageing at a steady rate, in common with other European countries. Slovakia joined the EU in May 2004 and adopted the euro as its currency in January 2009.

Funding for healthcare in Slovakia is principally through the health insurance system. The Slovak healthcare system is still very much in the public sector, although the majority of pharmacies and health spas are now privately-owned. Slovakia spends around 7.0% of GDP on healthcare.

In 2009, the Slovak market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at US$455 million, or US$83 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a rate of 8.9% per annum, to be valued at US$697 million, or US$129 per capita, by 2014.

Around 65% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. Germany, the USA and Switzerland were the leading suppliers in 2007, accounting for almost 40% of imports. Imports have recovered well since the economic slump of the late 1990s.
