UAE Healthcare Sector Forecast to 2012

The UAE healthcare industry has posted an unprecedented growth over the past
few years on the back of government active support. The government has
identified healthcare as one of the priority sectors and is determined to develop
healthcare infrastructure and services to make them accessible to 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 rapidly increasing population, rising
prevalence of lifestyle diseases (obesity, diabetes and hypertension) and the lack
of internationally accredited healthcare infrastructure. The country has been
witnessing tremendous increase in demand for healthcare services, which
indicate towards high healthcare spending. In this regard, we have done an
extensive research and analysis of various segments of the UAE healthcare
market. The segments covered in the report include: Hospitals Services Industry,
Pharmaceutical Industry and Medical Devices Industry.

The baseline for optimistic future outlook of the UAE healthcare industry is the
enhanced participation and high investments by private players into medical
infrastructure and supply of pharmaceuticals to the population. In addition, there
will be strong demand for primary health care level drugs such as generics,
antibiotics and OTC in coming years since a number of drugs are due to lose
their patents. As a result, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow at a
CAGR of around 17% during 2010-2013.

Further, demand for hospitals and hospital beds is anticipated to rise over the
next few years since the existing infrastructure is inadequate to deal with rising
number of health complications in all sections of the society and every age group
people. Besides, the penetration of hospital beds in the UAE is currently low as
per the international standards. In general, 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.
