Why Singapore? Learn more about this growing MedTech giant.

Singapore’s medtech ecosystem is as vibrant as ever, rapidly evolving into a key hub characterised by robust government support, a highly skilled workforce, and advanced infrastructure. 

The nation has positioned itself as a global leader through substantial investments in research and development, fostering innovation via initiatives like the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) plan. Compared to other global medtech hubs, Singapore offers a unique combination of efficient regulatory processes, a strategic location, and strong intellectual property protection, attracting significant foreign investments.

The country stands at the forefront of healthcare innovation, setting new benchmarks and transforming the region’s healthcare landscape. The accelerated adoption of digital solutions like telehealth and remote patient analytics has revolutionised healthcare practices, cementing Singapore’s role as a trailblazer in modern healthcare.

Medical Devices and Digital Health

In a nutshell, Singapore is a premium frontier for MedTech innovation. With robust growth, strategic exports, and seamless digital health advancements, it’s an ideal destination for pioneering MedTech entrepreneurs.

Singapore’s medical device market, valued at USD 1.5 billion, is set to grow at 8-9% annually. As a major exporter, with over USD 10 billion in exports to the US, China, and the EU, Singapore also imports significantly to bolster local healthcare and innovation. 

Global giants like Medtronic, GE Healthcare, and Siemens Healthineers thrive here, alongside local leaders such as Biosensors International and Advanced MedTech Holdings.

Meanwhile, Singapore’s digital health market, valued at USD 500 million, is rapidly expanding with a projected annual growth rate of over 20%. The adoption of telehealth services has surged, especially post-COVID-19. Increasingly, solutions such as electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchanges (HIEs), and digital platforms are being implemented.

Not to mention, the use of wearable devices and remote patient monitoring technologies is also on the rise.
