(VOV) - On June 16-17, representatives of prominent French medical companies will visit Hanoi and HCM City to meet with local importers and seek business partners throughout the nation.
According to statistics from the French Trade Promotion Agency (BUSINESS FRANCE), revenues from Vietnam’s medical market reached US$800 million in 2014 and are expected to achieve US$1.2 billion in 2016.
The agency said over 90% of Vietnam’s medical equipment imported from abroad, has opened up a good opportunity for French businesses to achieve greater market penetration.
However, the health sector is facing numerous challenges- poor health check-ups and hospital overload.
French businesses touring Vietnam include – Bertin Technologies, Vygon, Ata, Medicrea, Gelscom, Thuasne, Helioscopie and Delacroix Chevalier.
