Covering the entire industry chain—ranging from diagnostic equipment and intelligent treatment systems to rehabilitation technologies, medical consumables, and health management solutions—the event aims to provide a strategic platform for global healthcare companies to establish deep connections with the Russian market.

In 2025, the Russian medical device market is projected to reach US$14 billion, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 7%. Key drivers include an accelerating aging population—where individuals aged 65 and older account for 19% of the total—and a rise in government healthcare spending to 3.8% of GDP, alongside the National Health Program’s prioritized procurement of high-end imaging equipment and surgical robots. Chinese companies’ exports to Russia increased by 57% year on year, underscoring the Russian market’s reliance on Chinese-made products.

Russia’s reliance on imported medical equipment remains as high as 80%–85%, particularly in areas such as cardiovascular interventional devices and critical care equipment. However, a trend toward domestic production is already emerging: the government plans to invest $16 billion to upgrade medical infrastructure and has introduced policy measures—including tax incentives and R&D subsidies—to support local firms. For Chinese companies, the opportunity lies in circumventing tariff barriers through technological cooperation and localized manufacturing; for instance, the low-temperature storage‑equipment plant jointly established by Haier Biomedical and a Russian partner has achieved a localization rate of 65%.

The market is trending toward specialization: demand for orthopedic rehabilitation equipment has risen by 12% due to the high incidence of traffic accidents, while demand for chronic disease management devices—such as diabetes monitoring systems—has grown by 18% annually. Meanwhile, private healthcare providers have increased their procurement budgets for high-end cosmetic and plastic surgery equipment by 25%, reflecting a broader shift toward premium‑level consumption.

As the most authoritative international trade fair in Russia’s healthcare sector, Russian Health Care Week has become a strategic platform for Chinese medical device companies seeking to enter the Russian market. The event not only brings together more than 25,000 professional buyers from Russia and neighboring countries, but also, backed by government support and industry certifications, provides businesses with an efficient platform for trade matchmaking. Currently, booth reservations for 2025 are now fully open, enabling companies to leverage the trade show platform to swiftly establish regional distribution networks and seize a competitive edge in the market.
