Raffles Medical Group to lose market share as IHH gains

RMG’s Singapore market remains weak.

Raffles Medical Group is expected to lose market share to IHH given the latter's better revenue growth in most of the preceding quarters.

According to Maybank Kim Eng analyst John Cheong, the topline growth for Singapore remains weak for RMG, with a 1% improvement YoY in 2Q17.

"Management reckons that the market remains challenging as Singapore’s high cost structure makes it less attractive to medical tourists," the analyst said, noting that the volume of medical tourists continues to decline.

Additionally, RMG's three consecutive quarters of weak revenue growth of -2 to +3% YoY could suggest structural weaknesses.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
