They came from 11 Brazilian states, representing 745 municipalities. Distributors/representatives and hospitals (clinical directors) continue to be the largest group of professional visitors.

THE MARKET

Brazil is the largest economy in South America with the highest potential in the healthcare market. Brazil has over 6,400 hospitals and 15,000 clinics and healthcare establishments. The Brazilian healthcare market is over $125 billion. Imports account for approximately 25% of the market, with the U.S. providing 50% of all imports. The medical equipment market is over $6.0 billion.

The continued expansion of the Brazilian private health care sector, particularly in the HMO sector, should create new opportunities for U.S. exporters, particularly for more advanced medical equipment, disposables, diagnostic devices, implants and components. 

Brazil’s economy is vibrant. U.S. exports to Brazil grew to US $7 billion in 2016, a 9.4% increase
