While other industries may be concerned about their growth owing to factors caused by external forces, the healthcare industry, specifically the medtech sector, is expected to remain resilient. This is largely due to the constant demand for quality products and services, as well as growth from continued investments in this sector.
an ecosystem that creates career opportunities beyond healthcare roles
There are more than 30 global medical technology companies, and even more health-tech startups that have an active presence in Singapore.
Medical devices companies in Singapore focus mainly on cardiovascular, eye care, diagnostic, imaging, research tools, scientific instruments and orthopedics. These areas of medical specialties are specifically targeted to help alleviate pain in the ageing population, improve diagnosis as well as disease treatment and management.
When companies operate from Singapore, they are able to manage the end-to-end process, from research and development through to sales, including global manufacturing and supply chain management from a singular location.
Rather than looking at the medical technology industry as a field only for healthcare professionals, talent in other specialisations such as engineering, sales and marketing as well as supply chain can also potentially find meaningful careers in this high-growth environment.
