Korea is more than a market. It is a test bed. Entering it requires more than data: how decisions are made, how communication is read, and where misalignment creates delay.

Services

Korea, from the original sources.

Your own research, including AI and public sources, is a good place to start.
We check the Korean side: the sources, companies and numbers, and whether the information still holds.

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?

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?
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?
  • 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

Korea healthcare reading from Zurich.

Arirang Insight is an independent practice in Zurich for Swiss and European MedTech teams that need a clearer view of Korea: policy, market access, hospitals, companies and potential partners.

The work draws on Swiss MedTech scientific affairs across Asia Pacific, Korean health system research, and business development between Europe and Korea.

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.
