To begin with, this thesis was written in order to assist the process of launching a new product in the Hungarian medical market. The product launch initiated by the goggles of Kozmomed Ltd., a Hungarian micro company, which tries to trace the market situation, thus finding the void market opportunities and give answers of filling them. I have tried to reveal the special features of the Hungarian medical market from the aspect of business-to-business world in the fields of infusion devices. So in the infusion equipment marketplace if one wishes to be successful, first the collection of data and information in detail must be available to precisely follow the business plan according to the marketing strategy. Having based on correct market facts, the marketing tactics avoids business-mistakes to occur or it helps to minimize them to roll on. Since I have done my practice work in this area, there I have developed an inside view of the operation and maintenance from the point of marketing to the sales and financial aspects of infusion equipment via the micro company of Kozmomed Ltd. My tasks and duties were to assist in the preparation of the infusion product launch in the medical market. This company is present in the medical market more that two decades and has vast amount of experience and as well reputation in the healthcare services.

First of all, I have made quantitative researches in order to know the number of the infusion pumps in different kind of user institutions by using systematic observation. This is important for the knowledge of the market shares by each company and their brands.

What marketing strategy to apply in the product launch process? 3. Who are the target groups of infusion devices? 4. How to set the initial prices? These questions were aimed at the purpose to successfully launch the infusion devices taking care of external and internal factors. Revealing the difficulties of obstacles and bypassing the for coming pitfalls initial surveys of market shares and depth interviews were made in order to factually know the details of the market, not to “shoot away from the target”.   My thesis is separated into many components by different topics: The infusion devices: Here the product is being introduced in a general form.
