In-vitro diagnostics distributors in Saudi Arabia: 160 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 160 establishments in Saudi Arabia whose registry records include in-vitro diagnostics: 109 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 50 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 1 regulatory representatives, and 0 manufacturers or exporters, out of 936 medical device establishments in Saudi Arabia overall. The records come from NUPCO, SFDA and US FDA (openFDA), last seen on 23 October 2026.
In-vitro diagnostics covers analysers, reagents, rapid tests and laboratory consumables across chemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology and genetics. IVD has its own regulation in most markets, and the EU regulates it under IVDR rather than MDR. Laboratory distributors usually differ from device distributors, even inside the same company.

In Saudi Arabia the SFDA Medical Device Marketing Authorisation is applied for through a licensed Saudi authorised representative, and importers and distributors need their own SFDA establishment licence. The authorised representative can be independent of the distributor, which is the structure we recommend.
