Market Trends

The Mexican medical device industry is quite sophisticated and values innovative and high-quality medical technologies. Cost-effective advanced products that deliver strong healthcare outcomes are expected to perform better. Medical devices in the areas of diagnostic imaging, preventative care, diagnostic imaging, dental products, orthopedics, diagnostic imaging, and prosthetics are in greatest demand.

There are many opportunities that exist in the Mexican medical device industry.  The Mexican medical devices sector imports nearly 90% of medical devices for domestic consumption. The need for locally manufactured products has created a market opportunity for local producers.

Mexico imports medical devices from all across the world, with most devices imported from Asia, the United States, and Europe. Despite this, there is a medical device manufacturing industry located in Baja California. This region is home to more than 60 companies and accounts for 36% of medical device exports.

Business challenges in the political landscape, infrastructure, the rule of law, regulation, and compliance are being met with goals to fight corruption and training for the use of advanced medical devices for domestic consumption.

Market Restraints of Medical Devices in Mexico

Regulatory timeframes are one of the obstacles to entering the Mexican market. Regardless of whether COFEPRIS, the Mexican regulatory body, has several registration routes, the process of submission is time-consuming and approval can take a long time leading to a backlog of submissions. However, COFEPRIS has been working to refine its registration process. Also, importers can face tough competition from US manufacturers, which holds more than 50% of the Mexican import market.

Also, registering a medical device or IVD in Mexico is challenging for non-Spanish speakers. COFEPRIS provides limited guidelines about the registration process in English and requires all communication and documentation to take place in Spanish.

Market Drivers

The Mexico medical devices industry is mainly driven by the following factors.

  • The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to boost the demand for Medical Devices in Mexico. For example, the National Library of Medicine reported that after about 50 years old, diabetes was extremely common in Mexico– for example, 26.9% of women and 23.8% of men aged 65–74 years reported a diagnosis. By comparison, ischaemic heart disease was reported by 3.0% of women and 4.8% of men aged 65–74, a history of stroke by 2.3% and 2.8%, respectively, and a history of cancer by 2.1% and 1.3%.
  • A shift toward homecare settings is also expected to boost the demand for Portable Medical Devices.
