Vietnam Medical Equipment & Pharmaceutical Exhibition (K Med Expo)K Med Expo

The Vietnam Medical Equipment & Pharmaceutical Exhibition (K Med Expo) has gradually become the most professional international exhibition in Vietnam's pharmaceutical and medical sectors. Due to its high level of professionalism and quality professional audience, it has attracted an increasing number of foreign enterprises, including those from China, to enter the Vietnamese market through this specialized platform and achieve substantial results.

At the Vietnam Medical Equipment & Pharmaceutical Exhibition (K Med Expo), X-ray diagnostic imaging equipment takes the lead and is also the medical product category with the fastest-growing import transaction volume. This is followed by orthopedic and artificial transplant medical products, as well as artificial organs.

Currently, 90% of medical products in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, rely on imports, with diagnostic imaging products accounting for the largest share at 23%. Within diagnostic imaging, X-ray diagnostic equipment ranks first and is also the fastest-growing category in terms of import transaction value. This is followed by orthopedic and artificial transplant medical products, as well as artificial organs. Meanwhile, medical consumables such as syringes, which were previously imported, are now gradually being produced domestically. Consequently, the demand for medical products in Ho Chi Minh City is shifting from basic consumables to technology-driven, high-end medical equipment. Along with economic development, the Vietnamese government is placing increasing emphasis on investment in healthcare institutions.

Medical devices are classified as encouraged import products, with import tariffs ranging from only 0% to 8%. Several Chinese enterprises that entered the market early have successfully secured Vietnamese distributors and established offices in Hanoi or Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), distributing their products nationwide. Chinese products offer a better cost-performance ratio compared to European and American alternatives. The Vietnam Medical Equipment & Pharmaceutical Exhibition (K Med Expo) serves as the premier trade platform for Chinese medical and pharmaceutical companies to expand into Vietnam and the broader Southeast Asian market.
