AirPhysio has expanded from five countries in January 2021 to 106 countries in the past two years, they decided to enter the Middle East through Arab Health in January 2022, bringing home 175 leads from over 25 countries.
They went into Arab Health with a simple strategy, world domination but in a good way, and to achieve this they had four staff fly to Dubai for the Expo with aims to maximize ROA and success from the show with people scouting the hall for potential contacts and a team at home sending introductory e-mails and starting the conversion of leads within 24 hours.
Twelve months onwards, three more trips and a launch in Chennai and Dubai in October last year, it is almost like visiting family and a second home, with distributors in a number of the countries in the MENA area and even more after another successful Arab Health.
AirPhysio has also been working with the University of Sharjah to perform a long covid trial of the product which has resulted in a great outcome for the product and great clinical evidence.
We are now working with the University of Sharjah for a clinical trial for our new product, Better Breathing Sport.
“With the UAE area being so central, high net worth individuals and such a diverse cultural climate, it is hard to find a better place for logistics, sales and opportunity” said CEO and Founder Paul O’Brien.
In the past six months, our distributors have managed to gain health fund approvals, place us on the shelf in five major pharmacy distribution chains and put us into five hospital chains.
AirPhysio and Better Breathing Devices are an Australian Owned company and we manufacture in Tweed Heads, just south of the Gold Coast. The products and company are making major waves globally and in the Middle East, with the quality and durability of our product being second to none. They not only stand by the product, but show the confidence in their product by dropping from 50 metres onto concrete to prove they don’t break.
AirPhysio and Better Breathing Sport are currently at different stages for launching their products into five other countries in the Middle East.
“With many of the Middle East countries heavily investing into health, sport and infrastructure, both construction and IT and Sscurity, it is a real must for businesses who are looking expand internationally and Australian businesses hold a lot of credibility in the area,” said CEO and Founder Paul O’Brien.
AirPhysio has invested into the Middle East because of how much potential there is for businesses with massive investment opportunities for companies in multiple sectors and a high income population similar to most first world countries. So why wouldn’t anyone else looking to export?
