Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012

The Saudi Arabian Healthcare market has posted an unprecedented growth during the past few years on the back of government’s 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 “Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012”, it is expected that its growth pace in near future will be driven by various factors such as, rapidly increasing population, rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and the lack of internationally accredited healthcare infrastructure. In this regard, we have done an extensive research and analysis on various segments of the Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia healthcare industry is the focus of the government and private players on the innovation and latest technology. Leading IT companies are heading towards the Kingdom to test new devices and procedures designed to streamline hospital procedures and improve patient care. In addition, new insurance laws that have been set up by the government mandates drug coverage, which further raises the spending to higher levels. This also acts as a responsible factor, which fuels the growth of the country’s healthcare industry.

Further, demand for hospitals and hospital beds is anticipated to rise during the next few years as the existing infrastructure is inadequate to deal with rising number of health complications in all sections of the society and every age group people. To meet the demand, the government is planning to open new hospitals in the country. For instance, King Abdullah Center for Tumor and Liver Diseases will be set up by the government associations, which will have 300 beds to serve citizens and residents in the Kingdom.
