🚀 Market Opportunities

Russia remains a large population market with meaningful unmet demand for medical technology, but market entry since 2022 is materially more complex due to international sanctions, payment-processing restrictions, and import-substitution procurement preferences favoring domestic and EAEU manufacturers. Entrants should carefully assess current sanctions applicability, banking/payment feasibility, and compliance obligations before pursuing this market; a Russia-based authorized representative and distributor with EAEU registration experience is effectively mandatory.
