Vietnam offers one of Southeast Asia’s most attractive MedTech opportunities - right now.

Vietnam is identified as a fast-growing healthcare market.

  • Healthcare expenditure projected to reach USD 33.8 billion by 2030.
  • National Healthcare Infrastructure Plan 2021–2030 (Vision 2050) driving hospital upgrades and expansion.
  • Rapid private-sector growth and rising demand for advanced technology.
  • Growth Drivers: Aging population, rising middle class, >90% devices imported, strong government investment in modern equipment.

Market Opportunity Comes with Complexity. 

Business success requires more than excellent products.

Over the past decade - accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic - the Vietnam government has introduced significant regulatory and financial reforms. These measures have intensified the sector’s focus on cost containment and efficiency.

To succeed in this market, distribution models must adapt to:

Complexity and Value-Based Care:

  • Healthcare needs are increasingly complex and interconnected, requiring a holistic approach rather than just a single product.
  • The market is shifting toward value-based care, emphasizing improved health outcomes and comprehensive service delivery.

Procurement Transformation:

  • Healthcare providers and payers are prioritizing strategies to eliminate unnecessary costs across the value chain.
  • Public-sector mandates demand agile, compliant distribution models that ensure transparency, competitive pricing, and rapid fulfillment.
  • Success depends on securing contracts and building long-term partnerships with end-customers in full compliance with the National E-Procurement System and when applicable, Centralized Procurement requirements.
