April 11, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c15344) has announced the addition of Romania Medical Device Market Outlook Report to their offering.

This report is ideal for executives wanting to understand the key drivers in medical markets worldwide. Each report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market and, importantly, provides 5-year forecasts by technology category, national data projections, outlook and key developments such as regulation, health facilities and government policy. Importantly, the market can be seen in its global context with international market comparisons.

Romania is located in south-eastern Europe, bordering Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria and Serbia with one of the largest populations in this region. Improvements to the health system continue to be supported by World Bank-sponsored projects. The 'Health Sector Reform Project APL II' was approved in December 2004 and aims to improve maternity and newborn care, emergency medical care and rural primary healthcare.

In 2005, the Romanian market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at US$240.9 million, or US$11 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a rate of 6.4% per annum. This will take the Romanian market to US$329 million in 2010. Around 92% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. The USA and Germany are the leading suppliers, accounting for over 60% of imports in 2002. The domestic production of medical devices contributes little towards the market size in Romania, and as a result, the value of exports is low.
