Earlier Report Observations

Import values for syringes, needles, catheters and cannulae in Bosnia and Herzegovina rose from 8.8 million USD in 2018 to 9.1 million USD in 2020, within a regulatory environment overseen by the state Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (ALMBiH). Increased attention to illegal and unregistered medical products in 2020 prompted tighter import controls, which contributed to a significant rise in legal imports to 12.1 million USD in 2021.

Domestic production, first reported at 5.6 million USD in 2021, saw a slight dip in 2022 before recovering to 5.7 million USD in 2023 and reaching 6.4 million USD in 2024. The overall market size stabilized around 17.3-17.4 million USD in 2022-2023, then expanded to 19.0 million USD in 2024, supported by both growing production and a recovery in imports.
