Russian medical market

The Challenge

Why 80% of Foreign IVD
Companies Fail in Russia

Russia & CIS is a multi-billion euro opportunity — but it plays by different rules.

01

The Procurement Trap

95% of hospital purchases go through government tenders on zakupki.gov.ru. Without deep knowledge of this system, you are invisible to buyers — no matter how good your product is.

02

Regulatory Complexity

Product registration in Russia takes 12–24 months and requires full Russian-language documentation. Most foreign companies underestimate the timeline and cost — and miss their market window.

03

Wrong Partner Choice

Choosing the wrong distributor costs 2–3 years of lost time and market position. The Russian market has 500+ IVD distributors, but fewer than 50 are serious commercial players with real hospital access.
