IFAS Expo is the live marketing platform for the Swiss healthcare system. It networks industry and trade visitors in analog and digital form, offers a holistic overview of the industry with a high level of innovation and the latest trends as well as knowledge and information transfer on current and important industry topics.

The Swiss medtech industry is a prime example of innovative strength. The mere fact that around 40% of the product portfolio is less than 5 years old is more than just a strong indication of this.

It is all the more important to have a platform like IFAS, where innovation is promoted and can develop further. In this way, competitiveness is maintained in Switzerland and economic returns are secured. Only if Switzerland continues to lead the world in this regard can innovation resources be prevented from migrating and Switzerland from losing performance.

Swiss medical device industry: The Swiss medical device market was valued at $3.5 billion in 2014 and growth is expected to be minimal through 2019. Switzerland is less populated than its neighboring European countries with approximately 8 million residents, but its medical device industry is sophisticated. Swiss medical device manufacturers are competitive in the global marketplace and export the majority of their products.

Opportunities in the Swiss market: Healthcare spending per capita is high in Switzerland – almost $1000 USD. As such, the local healthcare industry is receptive to innovative technologies that increase the effectiveness and efficiency of care. There is consistent demand for cardiology equipment, medical software, monitoring and intensive care equipment, home-care devices, diagnostic systems, IVD, orthopedics, and surgical consumables.

Industry challenges in Switzerland: Predictions for the Swiss medical device market are moderate as the Swiss franc depreciates compared to major global currencies. A slight downturn in the market may occur due in part to the establishment of a new trade association, SWISS MEDTECH. However, SWISS MEDTECH is designed to increase the appeal of the Swiss market long term.
