The us market accounts for almost 50% of the global healthcare market and is the most significant region for vision rt, currently accounting for more than two thirds of this year’s projected global revenuesThe company has already established itself as market leader in this region with its technology installed on c.20% of all treatment machines (linear accelerators, or linacs) in the usThis market sets the tone for clinical adoption worldwide as other countries watch how hospitals in the us adopt new technologies before following suitIt is therefore of critical importance to ensure vision rt is positioned and managed appropriately to ensure continued growth and market leadership in this region.
Secondary to the us market, there are opportunities in canada and latin america (in particular in markets such as brazil and mexico) for expanding vision rt’s footprintTo date, there has been very limited traction in these markets as we have focused almost exclusively on the usDuring the medium to long term it will be important to explore strategies to enter these additional markets, although the us will always be the main focus and priority.
