Japanese Firm Omron Looks to India as Export Base for Blood Pressure Monitors
Published
Omron, a Japanese electronics company, is considering India as a place to build products for export. According to a report from Nikkei Asia, a healthcare subsidiary of the company wants to make 3 million home blood pressure monitors in India.
Home blood pressure monitors are small devices that let people check their blood pressure at home, without visiting a clinic. Demand for these devices has grown in many countries as more people look for ways to monitor their health regularly. By producing them in India, Omron could sell them to customers in other markets.
The plan shows how some global companies are looking at India as a manufacturing location. India has a large workforce and a growing industrial sector, and many firms are reviewing where they produce goods as they work to manage costs and supply chains.
The report did not give full details of the timeline or investment for the project. For readers in Singapore, the story is a business update about a major healthcare device maker and its expansion plans in Asia.
