South African Exhibitors at ARAB HEALTH 2018

SOUTH AFRICA AT ARAB HEALTH 2018 | 29 Jan - 01 Feb 2018
Pavilion Location - Zabeel Hall 4, DWTC

The medical devices manufacturing sector in South Africa is made up of a wide range of basic products including instruments (disposable syringes and scalpel blades); wheelchairs; specialised furniture (hospital beds, dentists’ chairs, operating tables etc.) and surgical implants and stents. At the more sophisticated end of the spectrum lies electronic monitoring and diagnostics equipment, including complex and expensive items such as NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and PET (positron emission tomography) scanners. Medical Devices also include in-vitro laboratory diagnostics used to detect infection (seroconversion) and monitor progress in the treatment of patients suffering from infectious and non-communicable diseases.

There are a number of striking pockets of local innovation capability within the sector that have been shown to exist. For example, South Africa has also become the world’s leading manufacturer and exporter of isotopes for medical diagnostics. The local industry is well established with a number of companies complying with international standards such as CE Mark, FDA Mark and ISO13485.

With more than 20 companies participating at ARAB HEALTH 2018 from South Africa, this is one of the biggest pavilions at Arab Health this year showcasing few of the cutting edge technologies and products coming out of South Africa in the medical device sector.

Automotive Industry in South Africa

The automotive industry spans the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the South African economy, from agriculture and mining, to the manufacturing and service industries. While other industries have been struggling due to the weak macro-economic climate in the country in recent years, automotive firms have proven resilient, primarily due to the segment’s strong degree of integration, a solid policy framework and export diversification.

The automotive industry remains fundamentally important to South Africa’s socio-economic prosperity, growth and development and central to the South African government’s efforts to industrialise and reindustrialise the country’s economy. The manufacturing sector, as the engine of the economy, provides a locus for stimulating the growth of other activities, such as services, and achieving specific outcomes, such as employment creation and economic empowerment. Manufacturing, therefore, presents an opportunity in South Africa to significantly accelerate the country’s growth and development.

As the largest manufacturing sector in the country’s economy, vehicle and component production accounted for 33% of South Africa’s manufacturing output in 2016, while the broader automotive industry’s contribution to the GDP was 7.4% (4.7% manufacturing and 2.7% retail). Exports of automotive products in 2016 accounted for R171.1 billion, a further record, representing 15.6% of total South African exports.
