New: OTC Area 16 THE GROWING OTC MARKET WAS PRESENT AT EXPOMED EURASIA 2018 According to latest research, the over-the-counter medicine market in Turkey reached a volume of 5 billion dollars. This segment accounts for 26% of the entire pharmaceutical market and attracts the attention of pharmaceutical companies due to its growth potential. The market grew by 17% from 2013 to 2016, and is expected to reach a global volume of 29 billion dollars in 2019. As the leading medical fair of Turkey and the Eurasian region, Expomed acted on this insight to include over-the-counter (OTC) products in its scope for the first time, helping the market achieve its targets. Over-the-counter (OTC) medicine has been a target of concentrated investment by Turkish and multinational companies over the last 5 years, and has been growing at sustained rates. With the addition of new pharmaceuticals on a daily basis, the segment now accounts for 26% of the pharmaceutical market. Acting on this information, EXPOMED seeks to expand the foreign trade network of the market by presenting the latest in the OTC segment to visitors from over 80 countries. EXPOMED 2018 had a dedicated OTC Area in the foyer of Hall 6 & 7 where a wide range of products from vitamins to nutritional supplements and wellness products were display to visitors. Distributors, wholesalers, pharmacists, R&D engineers and scientists visiting EXPOMED from growing markets including the Middle East, Balkans and Africa found the opportunity to engage in bilateral discussions with exhibitors.
17 Innovation Area Innovation Area, which has grown even more compared to last year, provided a special opportunity to start-ups looking to present their products to professionals in a special setting. Prof. Dr. Utkan Demirci delivered his keynote speech in Innovation Area set up at Expomed Eurasia 2018 with the support of I-SEK Healthcare Industry Cluster of Istanbul and MASSIAD Medical Equipment Producers and Suppliers Association. Within the scope of the event gathering in Istanbul sector professionals from different cities and countries, Prof. Dr. Demirci talked about his studies on cancer diagnosis at the panel with the title Brand New Technologies in Cancer and Infertility Treatment. Prof. Dr. Demirci said that as a result of his and his colleagues intensive work, they discovered the magnetic levitation system which makes it possible to easily diagnose cancer cells amongst blood cells. Prof. Dr. Demirci said that compared to other systems, the magnetic levitation system facilitates receiving more precise and accurate data, underlying the major importance the invention has for cancer diagnosis and treatment. He also added that the magnetic levitation system will allow cells to be differentiated based on individual characteristics.
