🚀 Market Opportunities
Poland is Central and Eastern Europe's largest medical device market and a fast-growing manufacturing and export base in its own right (record €5.65B in exports in 2023). EU MDR CE marking gives full market access, and the reduced 8% VAT rate on reimbursed devices helps affordability. The private hospital sector (Medicover, LUX MED) is expanding rapidly alongside the public NFZ system, giving entrants a dual public/private go-to-market path.
