COSMETICS AND MEDICAL
PRODUCTS, TWO SEGMENTS
ON THE RISE
These export sectors achieved great
projection and claim their place
in the international markets for
their quality.
The medical device industry in the
Dominican Republic is part of the top
ten in world rankings, occupying the
fifth position among the main exporters
of medical devices to the United
States and the ninth position in the
ranking of exporters to Canada during
2015. Much of this position in world
rankings is due to competitive industry
costs, availability of skilled labor and
the country’s efficient infrastructure
logistics.
Medical products are mostly manufactured
through the free zone regime,
which by 2014 had registered a
total of 28 companies dedicated exclusively
to the production of medical
devices such as equipment for blood
transfusion, surgical disposable products,
orthopedics, surgical sutures,
and devices for monitoring blood
pressure, among other items for medical
and pharmaceutical use.
According to the latest data published
by the National Free Zones
Council (CNZFE), the activities of
this industry represented 4.6% of all
industrial activity in the Free Trade
Zones in 2014, and are generating
more than 7% of the jobs of that regime,
resulting in a workforce of more
than 19,300 Dominicans developing
such products.
All these factors directly contribute
to the increase of the exports,

Manager | Dominican Beauty Product Cluster
highlighting that in the 2012-2014 period
exports have been of approximately
US$3,725.30 million.
The global demand for medical
products is clear, and Dominican Republic
has an accumulated investment
of over US$840 million in companies in
this industry, which represents 22.16 %
of the total investments in free zones.
THE BUSINESS OF BEAUTY
In the area of cosmetics and beauty,
the Dominican Republic has quality
seals that ensure the use of best practices
in the development of premium
products, sold mainly in the Caribbean
islands, where Dominican cosmetics
have strong presence.
According to preliminary statistics
from the Export and Investment Center
of the Dominican Republic (CEI-
RD), in 2015 approximately US$93.27
millions were exported in perfumery,
cosmetics, and toiletries.
Diverse items were exported,
such as makeup, hair products, deodorants,
toilet waters, sun block and
sunscreens, fragrances and flavor enhancers
for cosmetics and a variety
of essential oils. The Dominican government
provides support to the sector
through advisory and monitoring
services by organisms such as CEI-RD,
who carried out training for businesses
on issues of financial management,
project management, best practices
and international marketing.
