Medical device industry will usher in sustained and healthy development

According to reports, the Ministry of Science and Technology's key special item "Special Plan for the Development of Medical Devices Industry Science and Technology 2011-2015" has been completed and is expected to be introduced in the near future after extensive consultation with medical device manufacturers.

China's medical device market has developed rapidly and has a wide space

At present, the rapid expansion of China's medical device market has become the third largest medical device market in the world after the United States and Japan, and China has become the main region driving the increase in the global market. In the next few years, China will surpass Japan to become the second largest medical device market in the world if the current pace of development is maintained. The active medical device market in China, the orientation of national policies and the upgrading of domestic medical and health institution equipment have made China a huge consumer market for medical devices.

In the context of the stimulation of market demand and the sustained and stable development of China's economy, medical equipment in China has developed rapidly. In recent years, China's medical device industry has maintained rapid growth, and its sales revenue has maintained a growth rate of over 17% with an average growth rate of 20.81%. In 2006, the medical device industry sales revenue reached 42.771 billion yuan. In 2007, China's medical device industry achieved sales revenue of 54.795 billion yuan, an increase of 28.11% over the same period of the previous year, of which sales of high-end medical devices have reached 10 billion yuan, maintaining an average annual rate of about 20%. Growth.

At the same time, the new medical reform also clearly pointed out that the state will increase the public health system and urban community, rural primary health care construction. As the medical device companies further dig deeper into the “going to the countryside+community” market, and continuously adjust the structure and industrial upgrading, the medical device industry has entered a period of rapid development. In the future, the primary and secondary medical institutions in the second and third line counties and townships will be the top priority for the Chinese medical device market. Economically backward regions such as the central and western regions will also be the focus of future development. With the growth of consumer power in these areas, and the continuous increase in national investment in medical reform, the growth potential of districts and counties will be quite broad.

Outstanding problems in development

According to statistics, the current level of overall medical equipment in domestic medical institutions is still very low, medical devices are unevenly distributed between regions and medical institutions, medical resources are mainly concentrated in large urban hospitals, and 15% of existing medical equipment of national medical institutions Equipment and equipment were products before the 1970s, and 60% of equipment was products before the mid-1980s.

Behind the booming medical device market in China, there is hidden concern. Similar to the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, China's medical device industry also has many problems, such as a large number, a small scale, low industry concentration, insufficient scientific research, and weak innovation capabilities. In fact, the medical device industry is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive, and capital-intensive high-tech industry with a high barrier to entry. Although the number of medical device companies in China is relatively large, most of them can only seek survival in the low-end market. , Or for foreign companies to provide spare parts, in the high-end market share of less than 1/3, product life and product quality and foreign companies have a certain gap.

The market share of local medical device companies in the high-end market is very low, and the high-end market for medical devices is occupied by foreign companies. In the face of such a vast domestic medical device market, despite the fact that there are so many manufacturers of medical devices in the country, they have to import a large amount of medical equipment from abroad. Each year, China spends hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars on foreign exchange to import large amounts of medical equipment from abroad. Nearly 70% of the domestic medical device market has also been divided by foreign companies.

Multiple positive factors will promote the continuous development of the medical device industry

The person in charge of the Planning and Finance Department of the Ministry of Health of China stated at the 20th Academic Annual Meeting of the China Medical Equipment Association this year that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the central government will continue to increase investment in medical device equipment projects to support the grassroots The medical institutions conduct basic equipment and equipment, strengthen the establishment of disease control institutions, occupational health prevention and treatment institutions, and maternal and child health institutions and provide necessary equipment, as well as improve rural first aid systems and gradually increase ambulances and necessary first aid equipment. In addition, the allocation of equipment for health education equipment at the primary health care institutions and equipment for the cultivation of medical and health talents were also taken into consideration.

At the same time, Meng Jianguo, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Medical Equipment Association, said at the meeting that supporting the medical device industry will be one of the priorities of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”.

In the next five years, the demand for medical equipment, imaging equipment, inspection equipment, and informatized products in China's county-level hospitals will soar. “The new medical reforms will be heavily invested in grassroots medical institutions. This year, the state will invest 2.5 million yuan in each county hospital. Each TCM hospital has invested 2 million yuan.” At present, China has more than 1.8 million natural villages and nearly 420,000 township-level governments. In addition, the new medical reform drive the private hospital market, it will bring business opportunities to the medical device market.

According to a source from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, China will vigorously upgrade the digitization, intelligence, high-precision, and networking of medical devices and promote the development of domestic medical devices. The next step is to achieve remanufacturing in the field of medical devices.

According to a source from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the "Special Plan" has support for high-end, low-end medical devices. There are 10 types of key basic equipment involved in primary medical care, and it is expected to promote ultrasound equipment of high quality and low price suitable for national conditions; to focus on high-value consumables in the high-end product areas and strive to achieve pricing power; medical equipment service business will receive stand by.

In addition, with the advancement of technology and the rapid development of China's economy, the acceleration of the pace between China and the international community will promote the upgrading of domestic equipment and expand the market capacity of medical devices. At the same time, China has a large population base and the natural population grows rapidly. Natural growth of the population is the most basic factor in promoting the consumption of medical products. With the economic development, people's living standards have also increased. People began to pursue the general improvement of the quality of life, have a relatively strong sense of health care, and also have a relatively large demand for medical device products.

With the introduction of national support policies, as well as the development of the market economy and market demand, the medical device industry will usher in sustained and healthy development.
