By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 88 | 77% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Authorised representative | 11 | 10% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Manufacturer | 21 | 18% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Malta
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later; the Next 10 Markets report covers it per market.
Top 20 independent distributors
Independent distributors only: a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler, authorised representative), no manufacturing of their own and no sign of being a manufacturer's own sales company. Ranked by the other manufacturers' lines they carry, then registrations held, then size (a 0 to 100 score). Complete is 0 to 5 for website, address, segments, principals and counts.

Questions about medical device distributors in Malta
How many medical device distributors are there in Malta?
The Index counts 115 medical device establishments registered in Malta, of which 63 are independent distributors: importers, distributors, wholesalers or authorised representatives that do not manufacture themselves and are not a manufacturer's own sales company. The rest are manufacturers or their own sales entities. The number comes from EUDAMED, US FDA (openFDA) and MHRA UK and was last refreshed on 22 October 2026.
Who can hold a medical device registration in Malta?
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file.
