Medical Equipment Business Group

The Medical Equipment Business Group was established by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in January 2023 to strengthen one of the UAE's fastest-growing healthcare sectors. This initiative brings together medical device manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and industry stakeholders operating within Dubai's medical equipment ecosystem. The business group serves as a strategic platform for industry members to engage in collaborative discussions, share insights, and address sector-specific challenges affecting the medical device market in Dubai and the broader UAE.

The group operates within the framework of Dubai Chamber of Commerce's broader initiative to support key economic sectors through structured business communities. With the UAE's medical device market projected to reach $1.52 billion by 2025 (growing at an annual compound rate of 4.4%), the business group plays a crucial role in facilitating dialogue between the private sector and government entities. Members benefit from networking opportunities, access to market intelligence, and a unified voice when advocating for policy changes that enhance the sector's competitiveness.

By fostering transparent conversations and strategic partnerships, the Medical Equipment Business Group contributes to Dubai's positioning as a regional healthcare hub. The group addresses critical market drivers including population growth, expanding medical tourism, healthcare infrastructure development, digital transformation, and emerging technologies that are reshaping the medical device landscape across the emirate.
