Export Medical & surgical instruments from Pakistan to Malaysia
Malaysia imported US$1.21B of medical & surgical instruments (HS 9018) in 2025. India supplied US$12.6M of that in 2025, while Pakistan supplied US$2.3M, a gap of US$10.3M. Pakistan's share of the market is 0.2%.
That gap matters: buyers in Malaysia already source this product from South Asia and accept the shipping times, payment terms and documents involved. Pakistan's total sales to Malaysia grew 50% between 2020 and 2025, which suggests buyers there are increasingly open to Pakistani suppliers.
