Pursuing genomics and healthcare-IT related opportunities are economically viable for the following reasons: 1. GEMS is positioned as a market-innovator and would end up diluting its image by focusing entirely on low-cost focus in China 2. The developed markets present a sizeable market of around $16.85 billion much higher than that of the Chinese opportunity despite increasing medical expenditure in these regions 3. The ageing population of developed markets are likely to support huge sales in the region
The China opportunity could be pursued by continuing with the GPC policy which would be advantageous for the following reasons: 1. China is the third-largest market for medical diagnostics and is growing fast. Its much larger population and improving healthcare expenditure is likely to bring huge revenues to GEMS 2. The equipment manufactured in China could also be exported to countries like India which are also developing and seeing an improvement in the health-consciousness of consumers.
Thus, considering the advantages of the two opportunities, both should be captured by GEMS. However, genomics opportunity could precede the China opportunity due to its relatively better potential.
