Marketsmonitor Releases Report on Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012

According to a new report, “Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012”, the Saudi Arabian healthcare market is witnessing rapid growth and will continue to expand exponentially in future. The country’s rapidly increasing population, due to which demand is outpacing supply, can be regarded as the main push for the market. And as the incidences of a number of lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension, in the country amongst the highest in the world, these will significantly boost the healthcare spending in future.

Government plays a central role in providing healthcare services in the kingdom, accounting for around 75% of the total healthcare spending in the country. The government accounted for 67% of the total hospitals and 77% of the total hospital beds in the country in 2006. The government expenditure on healthcare, however, is increasing faster than its total income; as a result, government may resort to cost cutting measures in future.

The report says that due to increasing pressure on the public healthcare system, the government is rapidly promoting the involvement of private healthcare in the country. So big investment will be seen from the private sector in the forecasted period, and according to our estimates, the private sector will account for 62% for all new beds installed during 2006-2012.

However, slump in crude oil prices due to economic recession can hit the nation’s economy. But the fast diversification of the country’s economy into other sectors will provide it a buffer against the severe impact of economic turmoil. Despite some challenges such as shortage of skilled workers, dependency on oil and bureaucratic issues, the market’s future will remain bright with all three sectors - hospital services, pharmaceuticals and medicals devices - expected to show sustained growth.
