Kenya’s medical device market is expected to expand by a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% in local currency terms and 8.2% in U.S. dollar terms, which should see it soon rise to $197.9 million, according to the latest data sources. Laboratory testing services in Kenya include testing for various clinical specimens, such as blood, urine, feces, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue. The laboratory testing services include bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology, mycology, clinical chemistry, hematology, blood bank, molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, and reproductive biology. The laboratory testing services are offered by public and private laboratories across different levels of health facilities which makes importing, distributing, and manufacturing medical devices and equipment, such as automated analysers, microscopes, centrifuges, and reagents a very lucrative opportunity.
