Frequently asked questions
Do I need a local Sweden distributor to sell laboratory supplies products?
Not strictly — with CE/MA in place and an EU authorised representative, you can sell direct. A local distributor adds clinical training, logistics, regional sales coverage, and framework access. Hospital and publicly-reimbursed channels almost always benefit from a local partner; direct-to-clinic channels are more flexible.
What is the typical margin structure for laboratory supplies in Sweden?
Commoditised consumables sit in the 10-20% distributor-margin range; capital equipment and specialty premium products run 25-40%. Public-sector tenders compress margins further. Our Launch Team Cost Calculator (/tools/launch-team-cost/) runs fully-loaded modelling.
