Brazilian Market

Welcome to Brazil

The medical device market in Brazil is the largest in Latin America. The market size for medical equipment in 2021 was approximately $11.9 billion, an increase of 6.9% from 2020. Revenue in the Medical Devices market in Brazil is projected to reach US$8.39bn in 2023. The market's largest segment is Cardiology Devices with a projected market volume of US$1.21bn in 2023³. Regulation of medical devices in Brazil is overseen by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). Medical devices are categorized into four types: medical equipments, materials for health use, orthopedic implants and in vitro diagnostics. Market authorizations are issued by ANVISA depending on the risk classification of the medical device⁶. The main regulations applicable to the market authorization of medical devices exported to Brazil are Resolution RDC 751/2022 and RDC 665/2022.

Besides that, it should be emphasized that the Brazilian market poses a significant challenge for foreign manufacturers due to the fact that the majority of imported equipment originates from the United States or Europe, accounting for roughly sixty percent of all imported goods. Nevertheless, with the right strategy, international companies can still thrive in this market. Moreover, it's important to acknowledge that the majority of imported devices are sophisticated and custom-made, often leaving no room for Brazilian manufacturers to compete.
