Healthcare expenditures usually rise disproportionately with personal income and socio-economic expansion. This is true in both the pharmaceutical as well as healthcare services. Asia has many challenges due to its rapid growth. Countries like Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Myanmar have high demand for healthcare across the board for access, services and pharmaceuticals. These countries represent about half a billion possible patients and customers alone. In fact, the Asia-Indian market segment occupy two thirds of the world’s population within a six hour plane flight from Singapore.
The level of sophistication is changing the healthcare landscape but, it needs to equilibrate; similar to what the Internet is doing for communications.
We see opportunities in most all segments of healthcare in Asia. Information access, integration and presentation can be a recipe for improvement. In the case of facilities and hub-spoke service models and strategies vary between organic growth and acquisition as platforms. In either case, we can help take your strategy to the execution phase with an experienced group on the ground; trained and tested in these markets.
Each territory in Asia has very unique features from regulatory, market entry, value propositions, sales and marketing. Success in growing these markets are often linked to adaptable teams with ability to move as quick as the market.
