Market dynamics
3 factors across 2 forcesIncreasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Coupled with Geriatric Population
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the growing geriatric population in Africa are driving significant growth in the region's medical devices market. The increasing burden of chronic conditions has led to higher patient visits to healthcare facilities, thereby fueling demand for medical equipment. According to an article published by the World Economic Forum (Switzerland) in September 2022, non-communicable diseases are on the rise across the continent, with 50-88% of deaths in several African countries attributed to chronic diseases.
To address these challenges and reduce mortality rates, governments across Africa are launching various initiatives aimed at strengthening healthcare infrastructure. These programs are driving the increased use and adoption of medical devices in treatment regimens. As highlighted by the World Economic Forum, several African countries are implementing new strategies to combat chronic diseases. For example, the PEN-Plus strategy, introduced in 2022 at the 72nd session of the WHO’s Regional Committee for Africa in Lomé, Togo, urges African nations to adopt standardized programs for treating chronic and severe non-communicable diseases. These efforts are expected to further accelerate the adoption of medical devices across healthcare facilities in the region.
Growing Awareness about Advanced Medical Technologies
The high disease burden and shortage of skilled healthcare professionals in many African countries present significant challenges to the healthcare sector. These factors underscore the need for increased awareness of new solutions and advanced medical technologies to alleviate the strain caused by these health issues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the average doctor-to-population ratio in Africa is approximately two doctors per 10,000 people, compared to 35.5 doctors per 10,000 people in the United States. This disparity highlights the critical need for accessible and advanced medical technologies across the region.
Additionally, various initiatives and strategies developed by organizations to improve healthcare access in Africa have contributed to growing awareness about advanced medical technologies. For example, as reported by the African Development Bank (Côte d'Ivoire) in January 2025, the bank entered into an agreement with HealthTech Hub Africa (Rwanda) to support the development of a pan-African blueprint aimed at accelerating health tech innovations across the continent. This growing awareness of medical technologies is expected to drive demand for and increase the adoption of medical devices across African countries.

Geographic analysis
Middle East & Africa
Largest shareIn 2025, South Africa is estimated to account for the largest share of the Africa medical devices market. South Africa holds a significant share of the African medical devices market, primarily driven by the high prevalence of both communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as the government’s increasing focus on healthcare sector development. According to the IDF Diabetes Atlas 2021, South Africa is the leading country in the region for diabetes prevalence, with 4.2 million people aged 20–79 living with the condition in 2021. This number is projected to increase by 76.3%, reaching 7.5 million by 2045. As a result, there is a growing demand for medical devices, particularly in-vitro diagnostics and diabetic care products, which are essential for diagnosing and managing both communicable and non-communicable diseases in hospitals, diagnostic labs, and home care settings. This rising adoption of medical devices to address the disease burden in the country is a key factor driving the growth of the medical devices market across Africa.
