About this listen

This week, we dissect the sudden shift in Saudi Arabia's medical device landscape. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has rolled out new clarifications that radically favor local manufacturing and assembly, a direct push towards its Vision 2030 goals. This move fundamentally alters market access strategy for international MedTech firms. We explore what this means for companies that have relied on traditional import models. Imagine your state-of-the-art device, a market leader for years, suddenly becoming ineligible for the most valuable government contracts. This is the new reality for many, forcing an urgent re-evaluation of supply chains, partnerships, and in-country investment. Key Takeaways: * How do the SFDA's new rules redefine what "local presence" truly means for MedTech firms? * What are the hidden compliance costs in the new mandate for in-country operations? * Could your current distribution model disqualify you from major government tenders in 2026? * Is technology transfer a viable option for your device class under the new regulations? * What are the top risks to consider when selecting a local partner for assembly or manufacturing? * How can you leverage these regulations to build a stronger, more defensible market position? * What specific clauses in the new SFDA guidance will impact IVD products versus surgical tools? Pure Global offers end-to-end regulatory consulting to help MedTech and IVD companies navigate these complexities. We combine local expertise with advanced AI to streamline global market access, acting as your local representative and developing efficient regulatory strategies.
