Despite a strong domestic industry, the medical device market is reliant upon
imported goods to fulfil a large part of demand. Both imports and exports
exhibited significant growth in 2005. Although overall market growth is
sluggish, certain niche markets are expected to grow rapidly; such as
telemedicine, which is well suited to Finland' s remote rural regions. The
Finnish market for medical devices is predicted to increase by 4.3% per annum
at constant prices.
Domestic production of medical devices is from many small scale enterprises.
The largest domestic producer, Instrumentarium, was de-listed from the
Helsinki stock exchange and is now a subsidiary of GE Medical Systems.
