Danish medical technology in a global perspective
Considering the small size of the country – counting a mere 5.5 million inhabitants or roughly 1.4 percent of the total EU population – Danish medical technology companies hold a significant position in terms of medical technology producers in Europe with a critical mass of world leading industry players like B&O Medicom, Brüel & Kjaer, Coloplast, Dako, GN ReSound, Invacare, Oticon, Pressalitcare, Tempur, Unomedical and Widex.
A huge export success
The industry is a huge export success for Denmark with 90-95 percent of the total Danish industry revenue generated outside Denmark. This makes the country one of Europe’s largest exporters of medical technology products per capita.
