BMR Series: Best Markets for U.S. Medical Equipment, 2003-04

Best Export Markets for U.S Medical Equipment and Supplies was compiled by Oya Birankur, at the El Camino College Center for International Trade Development (CITD), under the supervision of CITD Director Maurice Kogon. The report is based largely on 2003 Country Commercial Guides (CCGs) prepared by United States Commercial Service (USCS) posts abroad. All CCGs include a standard chapter “Leading Sectors for U.S. Exports." This report drew from those CCGs, which specifically recommended Medical Equipment and Supplies as a best prospect for U.S. exports, based on near-term growth potential or a large market receptive to additional U.S. suppliers.
