By segment
| Segment | Establishments | |
|---|---|---|
| No segment in the registry record | 91 |
Segments come from the device listings linked to each establishment, so one company can appear in several rows. Imaging and radiology are shown because the registries contain them.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 36 | 40% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Authorised representative | 35 | 38% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Manufacturer | 34 | 37% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Northern Ireland
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later; the Next 10 Markets report covers it per market.
