In pharma machinery and medical devices, India is a partner of Bangladesh. In 2023-24, India exported USD 25.93 million worth of medical devices and USD 183.43 million worth of pharma machineries to Bangladesh.


Opportunity for Indian Pharma Machinery Exporters to Bangladesh

Bangladesh has gained momentum in the recent years and has become the second largest economy of South Asia. As the neighbouring country of India with a common border of length 4096 kms. This makes Bangladesh an important destination for Indian engineering exports. The healthcare sector in the country has also experienced stable growth in the last few years fuelled by increasing demand for better quality healthcare and increase in healthcare spending. As per USTRADE Bangladesh is currently the only LDC that meets nearly 98 percent of its domestic demand for pharmaceutical products, with a market size of approximately $3 billion. Total Bangladeshi healthcare spending is more than USD 10 billion with double digit annual growth in nearly all sub-sectors including medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Therefore there is significant for exporters of medical devices and pharmaceutical machineries in Bangladesh. In this regards, Asia Pharma exhibition provides significant opportunities to Indian exporters trying to enter the Bangladesh market.
