Posted on 24 April 2017 by KenResearch Healthcare ,

Qatar’s private healthcare expenditure is expected to grow at a faster rate than public healthcare in the next five years, offering abundant opportunities for global drug manufacturers. Qatar's public expenditure was about 85.7% of overall health expenditure in 2016 but as healthcare costs has been increasing rapidly on an ageing population along with a rising chronic disease burden, the model of almost-free medical services in the country will be increasingly seen as “unsustainable”.

High market share of medical consumables was due to a rise in medical surgeries and inpatient hospital visits which subsequently increases the need for medical consumables during treatment procedures

Roche dominated the medical devices market in Qatar. The company offers a diverse range of products, which has been the prime factor behind the wide scale adoption of its products in the market. Additionally, the trust of the clients associated with the company, being one of the world’s largest companies further increased the customer base for the company and aided in generating revenue and assisting it in gaining higher market share.
