I extend my gratitude to the Government of India for establishing the Export Promotion Council for Medical Devices (EPCMD-India), a testament to the growing recognition of the medical device sector as a sunrise industry. This initiative marks a pivotal step in making India a global hub for MedTech innovation and manufacturing.

India's medical device exports reached USD 3.22 billion in January 2025, growing at a CAGR of 13.35% over the past four years. However, imports still stand at USD 7.3 billion, signalling both challenges and immense opportunities. EPCMD-India is committed to bridging this gap by enhancing global market access, regulatory compliance, and strategic partnerships for Indian manufacturers.

EPCMD-India empowers India's medical device industry by providing regulatory and policy support to navigate global compliance, offering market intelligence to identify emerging opportunities, and facilitating global networking to connect with key players and expand reach.

India's MedTech industry is ready to go global. With the right strategy, collaboration, and innovation, we can not just compete but lead. I invite all industry players to partner with EPCMD-India and be part of this journey.

Together, let's take India-made medical devices worldwide.
