Get in touchGermany, the leading market in Europe
Germany is a market that has great opportunities for medical devices. This isn’t just because there are 82 million inhabitants living in a wealthy and aging society, and this isn’t just because of the economic, legal and political stability that exists.
Your opportunities in Germany
There are three more key arguments as to why you should do business here in Germany:
1. Market access is comparably open in the hospital sector. Hospitals are reimbursed for implementing new methods but; on the basis that they are not actively excluded.
2. The German health system is one that is well financed and independent of the State budget. This means that public health funds and private insurance companies have the ability to finance innovative projects and procedures.
3. Germany is a leading market for medical technologies and is also benchmark for reimbursement and pricing. Performing well and demonstrating success in Germany is an important reference point for HTA bodies and customers in other countries.
The German health system may indeed have complex decision-making structures and challenge; such as benefit assessments for certain new methods or changes by the upcoming EU medical device regulation, but this isn’t a reason for you to miss out on the opportunities available to you in Germany. You shouldn’t let this reason to cause you to miss out on the opportunities available to you in Germany. It’s actually a compelling reason for you to make use of the professional advice Kalms Consulting offers; thanks to our qualified and experienced team.
