Could your pricing strategy, rebate structure, or customer incentives expose your business to competition law risk?

As competition authorities continue to scrutinise pricing practices across industries, MedTech companies must ensure that their commercial strategies remain compliant while supporting growth, innovation, and market access.

Competition law remains one of the most important compliance considerations for MedTech companies operating in South Africa. Issues relating to excessive pricing, incentives, rebates, and price discrimination can carry significant regulatory, financial, and reputational consequences if not properly understood and managed.
