Medical technology, Global Market

Smith & Nephew is a global medical technology business dedicated to helping improve people's lives. We have leadership positions in Orthopaedic Reconstruction, Advanced Wound Management, Sports Medicine and Trauma.

First we will reinforce our position in the Established Markets (US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan). We see opportunities to build upon existing strong positions, to win market share through greater innovation and drive efficiencies to liberate resources. Through these actions we will meet the challenges of subdued markets, maintain revenue growth and maximise margins.

Second, we will build upon our initial success in China and expand to create sustainable businesses in India, Brazil and Russia. These Emerging Markets are enjoying good GDP growth and have an expanding surgical infrastructure, the two key features required to make a new market attractive to Smith & Nephew. In particular, we see significant opportunities to build value through augmenting our existing portfolio with new products specifically designed for and manufactured in these markets.
