Medical and laboratory equipment: The EU market for syringes, needles, and catheters

This CBI market survey for syringes, needles and catheters shows that the population of the EU is slowly ageing and therefore requires more medical attention. The demand for syringes, needles and catheters is therefore expected to increase in the long-run especially the demand for products that offer cost-saving potential. Technological advancement is one of the key drivers in this development. In the short term however the syringes, needles and catheters market is expected to slow down as a result of the economic crisis and reduction of investment in the health care sector.

This market survey covers the EU market and the markets in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It provides information on consumption, production & trade (market sizes and trends), trade channels for market entry, prices, market access requirements and business practices & sales promotion.
