Useful intelligence starts with the decision you need to make. We check Korean market realities, healthcare sources and potential partners so European teams can assess opportunities before committing time and resources.

Services

Practical insight into the Korean market.

Public sources and AI can provide a starting point. We verify the Korean-side context: sources, companies, market assumptions and what the evidence actually supports.

01

Market Reality Check

What is actually happening in Korea?

Prices, reimbursement, hospital use, competitors, and what professionals and users are saying.

Typical questions
  • Is this product actually being used in Korea?
  • What are hospitals, professionals and users saying about it?
  • Is a competitor doing well in the market, or just getting attention?

For some projects, we can also arrange surveys or interviews.

02

Partner and Competitor Scout

Who should we be talking to in Korea?

We find and check relevant distributors, partners, competitors and organisations.

Typical questions
  • Which companies should we know about?
  • Which distributors already work with similar products or brands?
  • Who is worth contacting, and what should we know before we do?
03

Meeting Support

Go into the meeting knowing the Korean side.

We check the company and relevant Korean sources beforehand, join when useful, and follow up afterwards.

Typical questions
  • What should we know before meeting this company?
  • Would it help to have someone in the room who already knows the Korean side?
  • What should we verify or follow up after the meeting?
Need a number or document checked?

Not every question needs a full market study.

Send us the Korean source, claim, translation, figure or company information you want checked.

How the work is written

Context over headlines.

Every piece starts from public evidence. The test is whether a Swiss or European MedTech team can tell if this is opportunity, risk, or noise.

About

Independent perspective. Practical questions.

Korea Health Insight is an independent, Zurich-based practice helping Swiss and European MedTech teams understand the Korean healthcare market: market access, reimbursement, hospital use, competitors and potential partners. The focus is commercial and practical—not a general-purpose market-entry programme.

The work draws on MedTech scientific affairs across Asia Pacific, Korean health-system research and business development between Europe and Korea. Where useful, we also clarify Korea–Switzerland healthcare context for specific business questions.

Analysis is independent. We do not sell devices and we do not represent a Korean distributor.

The aim is simple. Understand what matters, who is worth talking to, and what to do next.
