UAE Healthcare Sector Forecast to 2012

The UAE healthcare industry has posted an unprecedented growth during the past few years and is expected to continue its pace in future due to active government support. Indentifying healthcare as a priority, the UAE Government is providing necessary investments and incentives to develop healthcare infrastructure and improve the accessibility of health services for patients.

According to our new research report “UAE Healthcare Sector Forecast to 2012”, the UAE healthcare industry is expected to sustain its growth pace in near future on account of various factors, such as increasing population, rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases (obesity, diabetes, and hypertension), epidemic outbreaks, like H1N1, and the lack of internationally accredited healthcare infrastructure. The country has been witnessing tremendous increase in the demand for healthcare services and professionals, which indicates towards high healthcare spending. In this regard, we have done an extensive research and analysis of various segments of the UAE healthcare market, such as Hospitals Services Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, and Medical Devices Industry.

The baseline factors for the optimistic future outlook of the UAE healthcare industry includes, enhanced participation, high investments by private players, industry consolidation for medical infrastructure, and supply of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, there will be strong demand for primary health care level drugs, such as generics, antibiotics, and OTC in coming years as numerous drugs are due to loose their patents. Hence, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 12% during 2011-2013.

Further, demand for hospitals and hospital beds is anticipated to rise during the next few years as the existing infrastructure is inadequate to deal with the rising number of health complications in all sections of the society and every age group of people. Generally, it is assumed that the developed markets average 3 beds per 1000 population, while in the UAE, it is less than 2 beds per 1000 population (in 2010), indicating a large room for future growth potential.
