Denmark has a stable political system and a stable economy. However, Denmark is likely to be affected by the global economic downturn, with GDP real growth expected to fall to -3.5% in 2009, according to figures from the Economist Intelligence Unit, and gradually rising to reach a real growth of 2.0% in 2014.

Healthcare expenditure has continued its steady growth in the past few years, increasing by 7.1% to reach DKK118.3 billion (US$21.7 billion) in 2007, with private expenditure accounting for around 16% of the total.

There are many domestic medical device manufacturers, some of whom have a global presence. This has resulted in a balance of trade surplus for many years. In 2008, this amounted to US$977.1 million. Imports and exports have seen strong growth over recent years; imports increased by a CAGR of 16.9% in the period 2004 to 2008, while exports increased by a CAGR of 10.7% in the same period. Many imports are used in the assembly of medical devices, and are then exported.

Denmark’s domestic manufacturers are mainly in the fields of diagnostics and orthopaedic & prosthetic appliances, especially hearing aids. There has been a sharp rise in the amount of X-ray apparatus production recently, with a large increase in the production of X-ray tubes, in particular, in 2007, when they were valued at DKK8.7 billion (US$1.6 billion).
