This episode of MedTech Global Insights breaks down the real cost of registering a medical device in the United Arab Emirates. While many manufacturers see the official government fees, they often overlook a wide range of hidden expenses that can triple their budget. We provide a comprehensive overview for MedTech and IVD companies to help them plan and budget accurately for a successful market entry into the UAE. This practical guide moves beyond theory, offering a transparent look at the entire financial commitment. We discuss everything from local representation and dossier management to the nuances of document legalization, providing the insights you need to avoid costly surprises and streamline your expansion.
Case Study: Consider a European scale-up that budgeted just under $1,500 for the official UAE registration fees. They were shocked when the total expenditure soared past $10,000. The reason? Unforeseen costs for a local authorized representative, urgent technical file remediation, and expensive, time-consuming document legalization chains from their home country. Their launch was delayed by six months, and they almost lost their local distribution partner.
