HCM City (VNA) - The Vietnam International Medical and Pharmaceutical Exhibition 2025 (Vietnam Medipharm Expo) is set to take place in Ho Chi Minh City from July 31 - August 2, according to a representative from Vinexad, the event’s organiser.

The expo is expected to pack in 450 exhibitors from 23 countries and territories, including Austria, the European Union (EU), the US, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, China, and Turkey. They will showcase products across 500 booths and welcome 12,000 visitors, including doctors, distributors, manufacturers, and importers.

Among the highlights will be a national booth from India spotlighting small and medium-sized enterprises in pharmaceuticals and laboratory equipment; a Korean booth focusing on medical tourism services, software, and advanced medical devices; and a Malaysian one with medical gloves and disposable instruments.

Leading Vietnamese companies specialising in respiratory and dermatological treatments, traditional medicine, immune support supplements, and functional foods will also have an opportunity to connect with international distributors and secure export deals.

The event will feature a lineup of side activities, including seminars on current regulations and policies governing pharmaceutical and medical device production and trade, plus exhibitor presentations, and guided tours of local hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Analysts noted that by 2038, one in five Vietnamese will be over 60, a graying population driving demand for home healthcare devices. Blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, digital thermometers, and respiratory aids are becoming household staples, particularly for those managing diabetes and hypertension.

Meanwhile, the country’s burgeoning middle class and affluent families are embracing a preventative approach to health, fueling a craze for smart devices. Wearables like smartwatches that track heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep patterns, and provide early warnings of health irregularities are gaining traction./.
