Though Costa Rica is a relatively small nation in Central America, it has grown its medical device sector to become one of the powerhouses. Medical devices and equipment, as well as precision devices, remain the country’s largest exports. Costa Rica is the second largest exporter of medical devices in Latin America, with exports worth US$5 billion in 2021.
Top multinational medical device companies in Costa Rica include Medtronic, Hologic, Boston Scientific, Baxter, Allergan, Hologic, Edwards, Smith & Nephew, and Cooper Companies. There are over 70 medical device companies in Costa Rica. Boston Scientific is the largest employer in Costa Rica’s medtech sector.
Costa Rica achieved this boom through several strategies such as the free trade zone incentive system, which allows new medical technology firms to operate tax-free for several years, enabling them to stabilise. Other factors include higher literacy levels, good connectivity to Europe and its strategic position as the link between North and South America.
Coyol Free Zone has an extension of 264 acres of land and hosts 31 companies among which 7 of them are the top 7 global medical device companies (Abbott Vascular, Cardinal Health, Hologic, Medtronic, MicroVention-Terumo, Philips, Smith & Nephew).
The United States remain the largest medical device trading partner with Costa Rica with around $300 million worth of trades between them. In Latin America, only Mexico exported more to the USA. Costa Rica exports surgical equipment, orthopaedic implants, diagnostic imaging devices, cardiovascular devices, patient monitors, anaesthesia machines, hospital beds, and disposable medical supplies.
