The Top Growth Categories in Medical Equipment in Colombia for 2022
Despite the devastation wrought by the pandemic, it apparently has not negatively affected the medical equipment/devices market in Colombia. In fact, the market has experienced some growth…and 2022 could well offer powerful opportunities for manufacturers who target this large (2,000+ facilities) hospital market.
Published in May 2021, the Informe de infraestructura y capacidad instalada — known as the Infrastructure and Installed Capacity Report in English and published by Colombia’s Medical Device and Consumable Medical Goods Board — shows that the country’s hospital infrastructure increased by 3% in 2020 amidst highly uncertain conditions. This growth has been further supported through the donations made this past July by the Colombian Red Cross, the U.S. government, the International Federation of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent: this assistance, which included medical equipment, was distributed to 201 hospitals around the country.
In May 2021 Global Health Intelligence (GHI) published a report that took the pulse, so to speak, of the medical equipment market in Colombia. In this report GHI shared findings and industry trends that included significant growth in the sales of medical devices used to treat COVID patients, particularly ventilators (80%) and patient monitoring systems (15%).

In addition, GHI recently analyzed medical equipment acquisition trends among hospitals in Colombia and calculate the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the changes in the amounts of different types of medical equipment in these hospitals between 2019 and 2023. Based on these calculations and other analysis, below you’ll find the types of medical equipment with the largest projected growth in 2022, along with the ones that will contract the most next year.
