Kenya has competitive incentives for
the Pharma, Medical, Healthcare &
Related Sector and a very good rating
on the Ease of Doing Business index.
Kenya has the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in
East Africa and is also a potential base for exports across East Africa.
Kenya’s medical device market will expand by a five-year compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% in local currency terms and 8.2%
in U.S. dollar terms, which should see it rise to $197.9 million by 2026.
The medical device sector in Kenya is heavily reliant on imports
with limited domestic production due to limited manufacturing
infrastructure and technical capacity as well as lack of access to
raw materials.
The Kenyan private health sector continues to grow, commanding
50% of all goods, services, products and technologies.
