The United Arab Emirates, with its strategic location and robust healthcare infrastructure, is a burgeoning market for manufacturers seeking UAE medical device registration. The country's commitment to healthcare excellence and innovation, combined with a growing population and increasing health awareness, makes it an attractive destination for international medical device manufacturers.
The UAE medical devices market was $1.92B in 2023, growing at 8.87% CAGR (2024–2030). The IVD market is set to reach $574.13M by 2030, with 5.2% CAGR (2025–2030), driven by advanced healthcare services and its role as a regional hub.

Medical devices in the UAE are classified based on their intended use and associated risk level. This classification determines the regulatory pathway, documentation requirements, and the approval process for UAE medical device registration, enabling devices to enter the UAE market.
Foreign manufacturers must: Obtain pre-market approval for UAE medical device registration from MOHAP by submitting a comprehensive dossier that demonstrates the device's safety, quality, and efficacy. Appoint a local Authorized Representative (AR) if they do not have a direct presence in the UAE. The AR manages regulatory submissions and ensures compliance with UAE regulations on behalf of the manufacturer.
Appointing a local Authorized Representative (AR) is essential because the AR acts as the local point of contact with MOHAP and manages all regulatory affairs on behalf of the manufacturer. The AR ensures that regulatory submissions are accurate and complete, facilitates communication with authorities, and ensures ongoing compliance with United Arab Emirates medical device regulations, thereby enabling market access and business continuity for medical devices in the UAE.
