As an innovative industry, the Brazilian healthcare industry exports to
more than 180 countries and generates around 100 thousand jobs in the
national territory. The sector is considered an important component in the
Brazilian economy. And so, it is important to analyze its updated market
numbers.
ABIMO is the Brazilian
Healthcare, Medical and Dental Equipment Industry Association. It releases
healthcare market numbers every year. One can access some of the 2012
statistics in ABIMO’s official webpage. There are information about the
healthcare national production value, productivity, investment, international
trade, national production and demand, Brazilian taxes, etc. Some indicators
draw more attention than others. The “healthcare national production value” is
one of them, as it reached almost R$5 billion (more than US$2.17 billion) last
year. “Investments” is as well an important indicator and it represented more
than R$300 million (more than US$130 million) in 2012.
Unfortunately, the
Brazilian healthcare industry must be careful about the numbers of
international trade (imports surpassed exports) and the national production
only represents 38,9% of the national demand.
