Research and Markets (http://www. researchandmarkets. com/reports/c14907 (http://www. researchandmarkets. com/reports/c14907)) has announced the addition of Greece Medical Market Intelligence Report to their offering.

Greece comprises the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula in South Eastern Europe, and many islands in the Adriatic, Mediterranean and Aegean seas. One of the least affluent members of the European Union, Greece is still considerably richer than its immediate neighbours. The IMF estimates GDP to be US$199.1 billion in 2004, with 3% growth predicted in 2005.

The vast majority of companies active in the field of medical devices in Greece are involved in the supply and distribution of scientific and medical equipment. Domestic producers concentrate on medical supplies, which are typically low value/high quantity products.

Imports supply approximately 95% of the Greek medical market. Imports of medical devices were in excess of US$500 million in 2002, 43.2% higher than in 2001. Belgium is the largest single supplier of medical devices to Greece, accounting for 28.4% of imports in 2002, worth US$162.8 million. Supplies from the EU15 accounted for 69.4% of total imports, at just over US$398 million.
