They are cleared under the 510(k) process (k), and a premarket approval application is required for class III products, which are high-risk, innovative products.

Vietnam Medical Device Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Emerging Technological Advancement In Diagnosis And Recovery Timelines

In the Vietnam healthcare sector, the medical device industry is one of the most promising industries in terms of technological advancements growth. With improving healthcare services in Vietnam, healthcare providers are focusing on using superior technological medical devices to aid in the early detection of diseases as well as accelerate the pace of diagnosis and recovery timelines. Demand for medical devices is anticipated to record growth due to the up-gradation of the healthcare resources at public and private healthcare facilities. These factors are opening up a plethora of new avenues for the Vietnam medical device market players.

Growing Capabilities Of The Domestic Medical Device Market

The medical device market in Vietnam is developing, and it is one of the country's fastest-growing industries. The Ministry of Health's Department of Medical Equipment and Health Works (DMEHW) regulates medical devices in the country. Several advantageous scenarios supplied by the country's regulatory authorities to domestic players for medical device approval are assisting the market's expansion in the next years. Moreover, in Vietnam, about 90% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are imported by domestic companies. The country is moving towards the usage of domestically produced goods, driven by a rise in self-medicating and OTC drugs practices. Hence, substantial growth of the medical device market is anticipated during the forecast years in Vietnam.

Restraints

Unsatisfactory Condition of Hospitals In Vietnam To Hamper the Medical Devices Market Growth

Many hospitals are outdated, and they are frequently overcrowded. Hospitals in major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi frequently lack the capacity to serve both local and regional patients. Moreover, Most of the existing medical equipment in public hospitals in Vietnam is obsolete and needs replacement. Many hospitals do not have sufficient utensils for surgery and intensive care units. Furthermore, the shortage of qualified medical staff is common in many hospitals. Doctors and nurses work under stressful environments, and earnings are relatively low. These factors are likely to impede the Vietnam medical devices market growth during the forecast period.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Vietnam Medical Device Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost each and every sector of the global economy. The medical devices sector is no exception to its effects. Escalating demand for medical devices amidst the COVID-19 pandemic propelled the pharmaceutical market to witness a positive impact in 2021. The country’s leading pharmaceutical firm, DHG Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company, earned significant revenue during COVID-19. Other major firms also saw their profits going up from the same period last year. While it’s evident that the pandemic benefitted the medical devices industry in a short span of time, firms may have to consider diversifying and importing raw materials from other regions rather than China and India in case a similar pandemic strikes again.
