The industry, which had already been growing through to 2019, continued to expand even during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Brazilian Medical Devices Manufacturers Association (ABIMO), the medical industry\u2019s gross value of production was BRL 17.9 billion in 2021, up by 36% from 2020 \u2013 when it amounted to BRL 13.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>This trend mirrors the growth of the hospital market as a whole, which, according to Statista, is expected to reach a revenue of USD 60 billion in 2022, growing at an annual rate of 7.91%.<\/p>\n<h2>The Fastest-Growing Areas in the Brazilian Medical Equipment Market<\/h2>\n<p>Global Health Intelligence (GHI) places an important focus on the overall market trends. In countries like Brazil, however, our research is mainly concentrated on more specific areas \u2013 such as the medical equipment categories with the greatest growth in this market.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy has been devised with our customers in mind, as they lead sales and marketing efforts in the medical equipment market in Brazil and need to understand where the best opportunities for expanding sales and introducing new products can be found.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently found that the types of medical equipment that recorded the greatest growth in Brazil in 2021 are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanners \u2013 70% growth<\/li>\n<li>Ventilators \u2013 26% growth<\/li>\n<li>Echocardiograms \u2013 11% growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, when we went back and tracked this growth from 2018, we discovered that both specialized equipment (such as robotic surgery systems) and basic equipment (such as ventilators and infusion pumps) have grown significantly in Brazil, since it is the country\u2019s hospitals that have most increased their arsenal of these types of equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>Growth Is Not Synonymous with Penetration<\/h2>\n<p>Even though various types of state-of-the-art technology equipment \u2013 such as <a title=\"The Recent Growth of Robotic Surgery in Latin America\" href=\"https:\/\/globalhealthintelligence.com\/ghi-analysis\/the-recent-growth-of-robotic-surgery-in-latin-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>robotic surgery systems<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 have appeared with increased frequency, basic equipment has generally shown much greater penetration than specialized equipment both in Brazil and in the rest of Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/globalhealthintelligence.com\/hospirank-the-best-equipped-hospitals-in-latin-america-in-2022\/\">this year\u2019s edition of HospiRank<\/a>, a survey carried out by GHI offering more than 140 data points per hospital and covering almost 90% of the hospitals in the region, the basic equipment counts exceed those of specialized equipment by a good margin.
