BACKGROUND INFORMATION

About COCIR

COCIR is the European Trade Association representing the medical imaging, health ICT and electromedical industries. 

Founded in 1959, COCIR is a non-profit association headquartered in Brussels (Belgium) with a China Desk based in Beijing since 2007.

COCIR is unique as it brings together the healthcare, IT and telecommunications industries.

Our focus is to open markets for COCIR members in Europe and beyond. We provide a wide range of services on regulatory, technical, market intelligence, environmental, standardisation, international and legal affairs.

COCIR is also a founding member of DITTA, the Global Diagnostic Imaging, Healthcare IT and Radiation Therapy Trade Association (globalditta.org).

COCIR Market Intelligence data gathering

Since COCIR was regrouping more than 80 % of the Medical Imaging sector in Europe, it was decided in 1995 to build a customized database to collect on a quarterly basis sales and orders and, for some modalities, numbers of units.

This tool evolved over time and now is a web-based application which collects data on more than 10 medical imaging modalities in over 90 countries in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, Central and South America. Those five databases are directly populated by central offices of our Corporate Medical Imaging companies.

COCIR is the only organisation generating such accurate data of medical imaging modalities which gives a good source to better understand market trends. This source of information is crucial for our members as it gives them a reliable source of data.
