Orthopaedics covers implants for joints, spine and trauma, together with instruments and bone substitutes.

Distributors in this segment tend to employ clinical support staff who attend surgery.

Whole market (TAM) for orthopaedics, spine and trauma: about USD 13m to 42m a year (estimate, low confidence). TAM is all yearly spending on these devices in the market.
For one product line sold through distributors: SAM, the part of that spending distributors can reach, is about USD 960k to 4.8m a year. SOM, what a new maker with one good distributor could win a year after about three years, is about USD 14k to 120k (estimates). The free Market Finder sizes your own product range.

Who holds the registration in Qatar
In the GCC a locally licensed importer or authorised representative must hold the device registration; a foreign manufacturer cannot hold it directly. If the distributor is also the registrant, it controls your market access. An independent local holder lets you appoint and replace distributors under it.
Who should hold the registration, and how a transfer works
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 who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
