The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 314 medical device establishments registered with an address in Mexico: 8 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 4 registration holders without a channel role, and 302 registered as manufacturer or exporter only. The records come from US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 22 October 2026.
By segment
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distributor | 8 | 3% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Registration holder | 4 | 1% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 294 | 94% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 57 | 18% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Mexico
In Mexico the COFEPRIS sanitary registration is held by a Mexican entity, usually the distributor or a local holder of record. Transfers between holders are possible but slow, so decide the holder before signing.
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.
