Executive Summary
Bulgaria is located in south-eastern Europe, bordering Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey and is one of the newest members of the EU, joining in January 2007, alongside Romania. The population of Bulgaria is estimated at 7.5 million in 2009, over 17% of which is aged 65 or over.
Funding for healthcare in Bulgaria is principally through compulsory health insurance, operated by the National Health Insurance Fund. The role of the NHIF is to provide a basic package of health services for the whole population. The government is divided on whether to allow private companies to operate in the insurance sector. Two of the three coalition parties support the idea of removing the NHIF’s monopoly, unlike the senior partner, the Bulgarian Socialist Party.
In 2009, the Bulgarian market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at US$230 million, or US$31 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a rate of 12.4% per annum, reaching US$411 million, equal to US$57 per capita by 2014.
Around three quarters of the medical device market is supplied by imports. Germany, China and Italy were the leading suppliers in 2007, accounting for over 35% of imports. The value of imports increased by 33.7% between 2006 and 2007.
