Sanet Pulse: 50 European Med-tech Companies on their Way to Southeast Asia


50 European Med-tech Companies on their Way to Southeast Asia

Sanet will be supporting EU Business Avenues at the “Health Care & Medical” event in Vietnam

In the year 2020, the market for medical technology in Thailand alone is expected to be valued at 1.7 billion US$. By 2026, total spending for the health care industry will have increased to almost 50 billion dollars.These are just some of the reasons why the marketing consultants of the SANET GROUP in Bangkok, Thailand, specialize in this market and the prospects for European companies looking to enter it. This also contributed to Sanet’s being invited by the program “EU Business Avenues” to provide support for their professional event during the expo “Health Care and Medical” in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

EU Business Avenues secured 51 company managers to participate in this expo and informational excursion to Singapore and Vietnam. The participants came from all the various branches of the medical technology industry as well as sectors such as medical devices, medical disposables, IT-driven medical technology, hygiene and sterilization, all the way to medical waste removal.

Sanet held presentations during the EU event in which they provided insight regarding market chances and market mechanisms in Thailand, a leading market in Southeast Asia healthcare. However, they did much more than this, as participants all had the chance to receive an individual consultation from the Sanet Group on market entry models and the types of services the group has to offer in Vietnam and Thailand.

Well-known EU-Companies Getting their Start with Sanet Business Units 

Tangible success after their start with Sanet

Many of our clients start off with Business Unit at Sanet Trade & Services, which offer support in marketing and distribution for German SMEs at affordable and fair prices. Two of them have been so successful this year that they appointed Sanet Legal Ltd., the German-led legal firm in Thailand, with the task of setting up a trading station for them.

And word gets around. Starting in August and October 2019, two additional renowned German and Swiss companies will be strengthening their market position via business units.
