Hospital Segmentation by level of care, nature of the establishment and number of beds
PART IV draws on exclusive data from HospiScope, the world’s largest Latin American hospitals database. It lists the total amounts of hospitals, beds, operating rooms, medical procedures, doctors, as well as average amounts of beds per hospital and totals of basic equipment (X-ray machines, patient monitors, EKG machines, anesthesia machines, ultrasound machines, infusion pumps) and specialized equipment such as CT scanners, MRI machines, angiography machines, radiotherapy units, gamma cameras and more.
Data includes:
Basic Equipment Totals
Having access to hard data is important for market sizing, gauging demand for future medical equipment launches, and discovering sales opportunities with specific product types. This section of Part IV focuses on amounts of basic diagnostic and treatment equipment in Latin American hospitals, ranging from anesthesia machines and EKG machines to ventilators and x-ray machines.
Data breakdowns include:
Specialized Equipment Totals
Companies need data for market sizing and calculating demand for higher-ticket medical equipment and devices, particularly with new product launches in these categories or launches of related types of products. This section of part IV focuses on high technology medical equipment in Latin American hospitals.
Data breakdowns include:
Country Breakdowns
If you need to study additional market sizing data to gauge product potential in different Latin American markets, this section of Part IV details basic data for hospitals in different countries using an at-a-glance infographic design.
Data breakdown includes:
Healthcare Technology Penetration Levels
The last section of Part IV offers hard data as to the level of adoption of different high-tech resources in Latin America, including EMRs, PACS, RIS and more. Companies can discover opportunities with the healthcare technologies listed below, as well as related technologies or ancillary products to complement technologies with significant adoption rates.
Data breakdown includes:
A relatively small percentage of hospitals in Latin America are specialized and carry more advanced equipment. GHI’s HospiScope database tracks the amounts of high-tech equipment that Latin American hospitals directly report acquiring and using. To create this ranking (for all markets except Brazil), our research team examined the amounts of certain specialized equipment types that hospitals in different countries have, such as CT scanners, radiotherapy systems, angiography machines, gamma cameras and more—8 total categories.
The team then built a list of the hospitals with the largest amounts of specialized equipment in Argentina, Brazil, Central America, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Part V offers an exclusive list an exclusive list of 70 hospitals with high rates of adoption of a wide range of advanced medical equipment that is otherwise unavailable.
This rare treasure trove of data delivers sales opportunities for the product categories included in this Technology Leaders ranking, as well as related forms of equipment or high-tech medical devices. In addition, identifying proven high-tech adopters among Latin American hospitals offers sales opportunities for software solutions, telemedicine solutions, wearables, and other types of medical advances.
Growth areas are clearly identified, not only for 2022 but also historically since 2019, allowing sales leaders to understand where each segment is headed. These growth areas are not only reflected in direct equipment counts from hospitals but also further supported by import data spanning the past few years, offering a longer view of the Latin American medical equipment market that no other source can offer.
This section offers hospital market profiles for key Latin American markets that included highly detailed data available nowhere else, drilling down into specific counts that reveal the exact current state of each market and its corresponding sales potential.
With a deeper understanding of their specific markets, country and regional managers can evaluate whether new product launches will be successful in different countries, spot new opportunities due to unserved demand in different areas, calculate saturation levels for products and gauge demand.
