difficult to sustain the progress made in the
healthcare sector due some existing and new
challenges. It is still difficult for a
significant percentage of the population to
access proper healthcare facilities. Major health
issues in Vietnam arise from dietary problems.
There has been a significant rise in

and liver cancer, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS,
diabetes, respiratory diseases and road

system in the country but the medical devices at

• Pharmaceuticals Market
• Vietnam has one of the fastest growing
  pharmaceutical markets in Asia. One of the main
  reasons for this is the significantly high
  population of the country which is entering the
  ageing stage at a very fast pace. With the growth
  of the economy the average income of the middle
  class has also increased and so has the demand
  for pharmaceutical products. The overall size of
  the pharmaceutical market has increased with a
  CAGR of from USD billion in 2012 to USD
  in 2017. The government through its policies has
  tried to address the increasing demand of
  pharmaceutical products in the country, however
  there is a huge room for growth. Similar to the
  medical device market, the pharmaceutical market
  in Vietnam is also highly dependent on imports.
  Around of the total pharma products consumed
  in the country are imported. Increasing rate and
  prevalence of lung and liver cancer, TB, HIV,
  respiratory, cerebrovascular and heart diseases
  among the growing population of the country has
  created high demand for generic and patented
  drugs.

• The pharmaceutical companies in the country
  mainly manufacture generic drugs by importing raw
  material from other countries. In context of
  therapeutic drugs, majority of the demand is to
  treat diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular
  diseases. However to develop the domestic
  pharmaceutical sector the government has
  initiated efforts to streamline the Foreign
  Direct Investment (FDI) into the industry.
  Foreign companies cannot directly enter the
  Vietnamese market instead they need to partner
  with an indigenous company to distribute their
  products. The biggest pharmaceutical firms in the
  country are Hau Giang Pharmacy, Traphaco,
  Domesco, IMEXPHARM, and OPC.
• Hospitals Market
• Vietnam is in the phase of experiencing a
  structural change in hospital industry. Currently
  the country is dominated by the presence of
  government run hospitals and commune health
  stations. There are around hospitals and
  commune health clinics in the country out

8
of which are run by the government. However,
in 2014 the government announced the plan to
deregulate the hospital in order to support the
already overburdened public hospitals in the
country. Since liberalization a number of private
hospital have already come up in the country and
more are in the process. Many foreign investors
and firms already have or are in the process of
acquiring stocks in the hospitals. The number of
inpatients and outpatients has increased at a
CAGR of and respectively during 2012-2017.
The overall revenue of the hospital market in
Vietnam has increased with a CAGR of from USD
billion in 2012 to USD in 2017. The
government has also eased the regulation for the
employment of foreign doctors and medical staff
in the country. A large percentage of hospitals,
clinics and medical staff is concentrated in
urban area and cities. This presents an
opportunity for private investors and companies
to expand their health services into the rural
areas of the country.
9
Diagnostic Laboratories Market Owing to
government policies, the healthcare sector in the
country is gradually getting decentralized. With
this decentralization the number of hospitals
clinics is increasing and so is the overall
standard of healthcare services. To cater to this
demand there is a vital requirement for affective
and faster diagnostic laboratories. The overall
market for diagnostic laboratories has increased
from USD million in 2012 to USD million in
2017 with a CAGR of during this period. The
market is dominated by public hospital labs which
contribute around (USD million) to the
overall diagnostic laboratories market. The rise
in average income of the middle class in Vietnam
coupled with increasing prevalence of chronic
diseases is a major factor which has led to the
growth of diagnostic laboratories. These
laboratories are actively engaged in providing
imaging and pathology tests. Pathology tests
contributed approximately of the total
revenue, while imaging tests contributed around
in 2017.
