Japan has sharply increased exports of medical products to Russia

The volume of exports of Japanese medical products to Russia continued to grow in January 2023.

As calculated by the Japanese Ministry of Finance, in January 2023, Russia imported 49.6% more medical products than in the same period last year.

Medical equipment on the Russian market can be divided into two commodity units.

The first part: includes medical equipment that is not usually available in Russia or is available on the market but does not meet international standards. These are high-tech computerized products, including: X-ray machines, ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, etc.

The second part: includes those products that currently meet the requirements of the Russian Ministry of Health.

Import is one of the effective ways to develop new technologies for the first sector.

Also, there is the fact that local certificates are not recognized by most European national bodies for international certification.

Part of the problem that medical equipment production in Russia faces is the situation due to lack of funds, and orders for medical products are less than the health needs.

Positive processes in the manufacture of medical equipment in Russia are mainly related to changes in the competitive environment of domestic and foreign manufacturers of medical products.

Key and important factors for the presence of Iranian manufacturers in the Russian market

According to the initial research conducted on the medical equipment industry in the large Russian market and considering the key factors:

High and consistent quality of Iranian products

Preferential tariffs on import duties of Iranian goods to Russia

Low export costs of Iranian products to Russia compared to Western and Chinese goods

The proximity and proximity of Iran and Russia as a logistical advantage and the possibility of exporting Iranian goods to Russia by various methods such as land, rail and sea transportation in the shortest time and low shipping prices

The absence of a large part of the market from famous Western brands

The possibility of rapid expansion of market share and access to the competitive and trade space in Russia
