🚀 Market Opportunities
Turkey has a rapidly growing medical device market and serves as a strategic bridge between Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. CE-certified products have a significant regulatory advantage — Turkish registration builds on CE Mark without requiring new clinical evidence. Istanbul's world-class private hospital sector (Acıbadem, Memorial) creates premium demand. Turkey's young, large population (85M median age 33) and expanding middle class drive rising healthcare expectations. Turkey is also a re-export hub for Central Asia and the Balkans.
