PDS 컨설팅은 최근 Selangor International Care Exhibition 2026에 출품 기업(Exhibitor)으로 참여해 현지 케어 산업의 주요 동향을 살펴보았습니다.올해 박람회에서는 기존의 노인·장애인 돌봄 중심 전시에서 나아가 아동 돌봄, 예방 중심의 건강관리, 정신건강 등으로 관련 서비스의 범위가 확대되는 모습을 확인할 수 있었습니다. 또한 헬스케어 기술 분야에서 새로운 사업 기회가 존재할 가능성도 엿볼 수 있었습니다.
1. 돌봄 대상의 변화와 서비스 영역의 다각화
아동 케어의 부상: 장애인 및 노인 케어가 주를 이루었던 예년과 달리, 올해는 아동 돌봄 관련 서비스가 눈에 띄게 늘어난 반면 노인 돌봄 관련 전시는 상대적으로 줄어든 모습을 보였습니다.
건강한 대중을 위한 예방 웰니스: 질환자나 장애인뿐만 아니라 건강한 일반인을 대상으로 한 예방 중심의 건강관리 서비스도 눈에 띄었습니다. 피지오테라피(물리치료) 및 각종 신체 관리 프로그램 등 건강 유지와 증진을 위한 다양한 예방형 서비스가 소개되었습니다.
정신 건강(Mental Health) 케어의 부상: 전시장 곳곳에서는 신체 건강뿐 아니라 정신건강의 중요성을 알리고 관련 프로그램을 소개하는 전시도 확인할 수 있었습니다.
2. 서비스 중심의 전시 구성과 헬스케어 기술의 도입 기회
헬스케어 센터의 서비스 홍보 중심: 전시장에서는 신기술이나 혁신 제품을 선보이기보다 기존 클리닉과 헬스케어 센터의 시설 및 운영 서비스, 관련 프로그램을 소개하는 전시가 주를 이루었습니다.
기술 혁신의 넓은 기회 창출: 반면 전시장에서 시장의 변화를 이끌 만한 혁신적인 돌봄 기술 제품을 찾아보기는 어려웠습니다. 이는 역설적으로 스마트 돌봄 기기, 자동화 시스템, 디지털 헬스케어 솔루션 등 기술 기반 서비스가 들어설 기회가 넓게 열려있음을 보여줍니다. 다만 실제 시장 수요와 도입 여건은 추가적인 조사를 통해 확인할 필요가 있습니다.
3. B2B 참관객 동향 및 건강관리 제품 동향
전문 의료진 중심의 B2B 참관객: 주요 참관객은 기존 클리닉과 돌봄 센터에 도입할 수 있는 신규 서비스와 프로그램을 탐색하는 의료진, 클리닉 운영자 및 관련 시설 관리자 등 헬스케어 업계 관계자들이었습니다.
자조 관리(Self-Care) 및 영양제 솔루션: 건강기능식품과 영양제 등 일상적인 건강관리를 돕는 제품도 소개되었습니다. 이러한 제품은 소비자와 의료기관이 일상적인 건강관리 습관을 형성하는 데 활용할 수 있는 선택지로 제시되었습니다.
전략적 제언 (PDS Takeaway):
2026 셀랑고르 국제 케어 박람회는 돌봄 산업의 관심 영역이 노인·장애인 돌봄을 넘어 아동 돌봄, 정신건강, 예방 중심의 건강관리 등으로 확대되고 있음을 보여주었습니다. 서비스 중심의 전시 구성은 한국의 ICT 기반 헬스케어 기기, 정신건강 관리 기술, 자동화 돌봄 솔루션 등을 보유한 기업에 새로운 시장 진출 가능성을 시사합니다.
실제 사업 기회를 발굴하고 아세안 시장 진출 가능성을 평가하기 위해서는 현지 수요, 규제, 유통 구조 및 시장 환경에 대한 면밀한 검토가 필요합니다. PDS Consulting은 심층 시장 조사와 현지 맞춤형 전략 수립을 통해 귀사의 성공적인 아세안 시장 진출을 지원합니다.
Pivoting Care Models: Selangor International Care Exhibition 2026 Insights
PDS Consulting recently participated as an exhibitor at the Selangor International Care Exhibition 2026. This year’s exhibition highlighted a broadening of the care sector’s focus, extending beyond traditional eldercare to include pediatric services, preventive wellness, and mental health. It also pointed to potential opportunities for technological innovation.
1. Evolving Care Recipients & Service Expansion
Childcare over Eldercare: Compared with previous editions, which featured more disability and senior care services, the 2026 exhibition placed greater emphasis on child-focused care, while eldercare displays appeared less prominent.
Preventive Care for Healthy Consumers: The industry is expanding its target market. Exhibitors showcased a wide range of wellness services—such as physiotherapy and physical wellness programs—tailored for healthy individuals seeking preventive health management.
Holistic & Mental Health Focus: Mental health was also a visible theme across the exhibition, alongside physical health, reflecting a broader approach to overall well-being.
2. A Service-Centric Exhibition & Opportunities for Technology Innovation
Promotional Focus on Clinic Services: The exhibition primarily featured healthcare facilities and care centers showcasing their existing services and facility-based programs, rather than new technology-driven products or solutions.
Space for Tech Innovation: Relatively few groundbreaking care technologies or smart devices were observed at the exhibition. This may indicate opportunities for health-tech providers to introduce digital tools, smart care solutions, and automation technologies.
3. B2B Professional Engagement & Self-Care
Targeted B2B Visitor Base: The exhibition attracted healthcare professionals, clinic operators, and facility managers interested in exploring new services and programs for their existing facilities.
Nutritional & Supplement Solutions: Health and wellness supplements were also featured as products supporting everyday self-care and preventive health management.
Strategic Conclusion:
The Selangor International Care Exhibition 2026 highlighted the broadening scope of care services, spanning pediatric care, preventive wellness, and mental health. The service-oriented nature of the exhibition also points to potential opportunities for technology providers to introduce smart care solutions, remote monitoring tools, and automated clinic management systems.
