1.2 Brief Descriptions on Products and Markets
The medical devices sector is a fast growing, dynamic sector in the World. Although its development
started late in Turkish economy, it is placed among strategically important sectors during recent years.
The sector has a large product range. The medical devices (excluding medicines) could be defined as
products to diagnose the diseases and heal human beings. About 500 thousand products from most
simple to most complicated, from the oldest to newest could be named as medical devices. From
Technical Assistance for the Operation of Samsun Metals Metrology and Calibration Laboratory Archidata Danışmanlık. Hizmetleri. A.Ş in consortium with COSMOB S.p.A, ECOTER S.R.L and Archidata S.R.L
bandages to advanced tomography devices, from surgery gloves to endoscopic robots numerous
products and related software are considered as medical devices. The fact that the products
subject to innovation and technological developments in other sectors could be utilized instantly, all
affect development of the sector.Medical devices sector together with medicines are indispensible
components of healthcare sector. As a result of developing medical technology, usage of medical devices
like medicines increased and caused rise in global healthcare expenditures. All countries take measures
to cut healthcare expenditures. It is foreseen that the expenditures arisen from usage of medicine and
medical devices continue to grow in coming years.
Public offices need to cover these expenses as they continue to give healthcare services.
Transferring from net importer status to net exporter status will be an important gain for the economy
in the long run.
Production of medical devices has limited with traditional technologies in our country. Production of
medical devices with high value added and using advanced technology such as biotechnology,
informatics, microelectromechanic and nanotechnology are limited.
There are structural obstacles in our production which prevent transfer from traditional technologies to
advanced technology.
Thirty companies share 89% of the global medical devices market. The rest 27,000 producers share
balance 11%. Under this competition, development of national medical technology could only be
possible when government’s taking initiative and collaborate with private sector.
Hearing loss is a common problem for many people. Its incidence increases depending age. Many of the
people above 65 and almost all of the people above 80 have hearing losses. Hearing aids help regaining
hearing ability.

4.1 Market at Present and Target Markets in the Short, Medium and Long Run
Graph 5 Distribution of domestic sales
The products are sold mainly at local market. The reason for this is application of hearing tests and
proposing suitable devices to the patients at the office. The company sells Siemens brand hearing
aids besides its own products. Contacts established with Audiology departments of the hospitals
support this success. An upward trend could be seen as domestic sales figures were checked. The
annual sales figure for 2013 was 1.2 million TL, same in 2014, however increased to 1.3 million in
2015. According to these figures, sales increased by 12% in 2015 compared to 2013.

4.2 Customer Groups at Present and Targets
1,050 Hearing aids sales and application centres About 3,000 Hospitals throughout Turkey, 2,000 of them have audiology units 2,000 Medical devices trading companies
End users: Number of people having hearing loss in Turkey: about 2,5 million people Number of people having hearing loss in the world: about 250 million people
The most comprehensive research about people having hearing loss was done by Prime Ministry Office for Aiding Handicapped and State Statistics Institute in 2002. According to the Research for Handicapped in Turkey, the incidence of the people having most severe hearing loss was calculated as %0 37. At the time being 47,000 children having hearing loss are at the age of going primary and high schools. If another 27,000 youngster between 20-29 ages included, totally 75,000 children and youngster are in need of receiving education and vocational education. According to this data, number of people with severe hearing losses and in need of hearing aids and other services could be calculated as 259,000 people in our country.

Technical Assistance for the Operation of Samsun Metals Metrology and Calibration Laboratory Archidata Danışmanlık. Hizmetleri. A.Ş in consortium with COSMOB S.p.A, ECOTER S.R.L and Archidata S.R.L
According to World Health Organisation (WHO) data, there are 250 million people in the world having hearing loss. Number of people using hearing aids sums about 32 million. The number of hearing aids sold in 2002 was only 6 million. Although there is a need for 32 million devices annually, only 6 million could be produced. Totally 70% of the devices were sold to developing countries. Although there are 28 million people with hearing loss in America, only 23% of them have devices. Number of people between age group 18-80 having hearing loss above 25dB is estimated around 71 million in Europe and 35 million in North America. Another survey which put forwards similar results is EU’s “Evaluating social and economic cost of the hearing impaired”. According to this survey number of people having hearing loss sums up more than 55 million. This situation is similar in our country as well.
There are 3,000 thousand hospitals in our country and 2,000 of them have audiology units. Most of the units are old type and have to be replaced. New audiology units in hospitals are equipped with modern types. However, since these units are imported and expensive, several hospitals couldn’t procure them although needed. In case these devices namely audiometers and timpanometers were procured, defects arisen from usage couldn’t be repaired. Several devices left idle because of simple defects or lack of spare parts.
Audiology units are in need of sound proof cabins. Those old types made up of wooden materials have to be replaced with new model metal cabins.
Moreover the devices in the hospitals have to be calibrated annually. Calibration costs amount to 1,500 – 2,000 TL annually and makes high sums in total.
There are 1,050 hearing aids sales and application centres in Turkey which received licences from
Ministry of Health. According to the recent change in the regulations, they have to buy test devices.

4.3.2 Sectoral developments, Opportunities, Threats and Planned Measures
OPPORTUNITIES
World population is increasing, number of people having hearing loss is increasing and the
societies become conscious about hearing problems.
The probability of getting affected from economic ups and downs is low since it is in health
sector.
Hearing aids having diverse prices cater to all income groups.
29
Technical Assistance for the Operation of Samsun Metals Metrology and Calibration Laboratory Archidata Danışmanlık. Hizmetleri. A.Ş in consortium with COSMOB S.p.A, ECOTER S.R.L and Archidata S.R.L
THREATS
Cheap and low quality goods create unfair competition.
There are no public supports for domestic products.
Entry of new competitors to the market is highly possible since profit ratio is high and the
sector is continuously growing
Increase in world population and number of people having hearing loss could be considered as an
opportunity. As an example there are about 1 million hearing aids sold annually in Germany which
has nearly same population with Turkey, whereas this figure is only 130,000 in Turkey.
The basic reasons for this difference are the low purchasing power in Turkish society and
unawareness about hearing loss problems. Hearing loss above 30 dB requires usage of hearing aids
however this fact is neglected. The patients aren’t told to use hearing aids during ear consultations as
much as required.
It is expected that there will be increase in usage of hearing aids in the future.
Hearing aids having diverse prices cater to all income groups.
As for threats;
Turkish Social Security Administration pays 550 TL as a contribution for each hearing aid. Price of
expensive devices start from 4,000 TL and goes up to 10,000 TL. The price of cheap ones is 1,000 TL.
Low income patients buy cheap ones as a necessity.
Against competition of the cheap and low quality products, the firm will make the patients to use
Lipro Audiometer device and compare performance of 12 different hearing aids. The patients could
detect the quality of the company goods. Moreover quality certificates will be shown to the patients.
At present there are 14 importers and 2 producers in Turkey. The volume of the market sums 150
million TL annually. Although the domestic producers pay 18% VAT for the parts, the importers bring
goods with VAT exemption. This situation creates a problem for the domestic producers in
competition. Social Security Administration doesn’t pay 15% premium for domestic products and this
is a problem for investors.
Entry of new competitors to the market is highly possible since profit ratio is high and the sector is
continuously growing. The company may not be affected much from this threat since it markets
world wide brands and its brand LORECa is recognized more day by day.

A financial analysis based on the current situation with recommendations can be made available for
the upper management of the company upon demand.
Financial Analysis and Evaluation of Business Plan: In this context, DOĞUŞ MEDİKAL TİCARET LTD. ŞTİ. directors were invited to the TAT’s office to discuss developed draft business plan and the STEs conducted presentations about the missing financial and operational information on 28/09/2016. The benefit of business plan and the concept of financial analysis explained to the participants and a financial spreadsheet template shared with them. The business plan experts also forwarded the templates by e-mail messages asking for the required information.Unfortunately no data is returned to us except the previously obtained information shown with the below table and the graph. Obviously that much data is nowhere near to build the financial evaluation section of a sound business plan.It is advised by the TAT that the presented financial model can be developed with the company during the monitoring period. With the aim of supporting role models to increase their production,
innovation and competitiveness capacities, consultancy and advisory services will be delivered by the TAT to ensure effective implementation of their Business Plans.
