The medical device industry involves many industries such as medicine, machinery, electronics and plastics. It is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive high-tech industry.
The basic characteristics of high-tech medical equipment are digitalization and computerization, and it is the crystallization of multi-disciplinary and cross-field modern high technology. Its products have high technical content and high profit, so it is the commanding height of competition among major scientific and technological countries and international large companies, and the threshold for intervention is high.
Even in the sub-industries with low gross profit margin and low investment, there will be products with high technology content and some enterprises with strong profitability will emerge from them.
Therefore, the overall trend of the industry is high investment and high yield.
Medical imaging equipment is an indispensable part of hospital medical equipment and an important embodiment of hospital comprehensive strength. It not only provides an important guarantee for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also provides an important platform for clinical scientific research.
As a comprehensive platform, imaging equipment plays an important role in promoting the development of hospitals.
With the development of the medical career in our country and parts of hospital equipment upgrading, in recent years, medical imaging diagnostic equipment market demand rapid growth in China, objectively promoted the development of medical imaging diagnostic equipment industry in our country, in the process of rapid development, some enterprises constantly growing, has formed a certain competitiveness, the domestic independent production of medical imaging diagnostic equipment market share has increased.
About 15% of the medical devices in China's primary medical and health institutions are from the 1970s and 60% are from before the mid-1980s. The process of their upgrading is another process of demand release, which ensures the rapid growth of China's medical device market in the next 10 years or even for a longer period.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, the national support is constantly increasing and the process of global integration is speeding up, China's medical device industry is developing by leaps and bounds.
As an important part of the pharmaceutical industry, the configuration of medical machinery in medical institutions is second only to that of physicians in judging medical institutions for consumers.
The country has also devoted a lot of efforts to the development of the medical device industry. However, up to now, in the high-end product field of China's medical device industry, the competitiveness of local enterprises is still vulnerable.
Medical device industry is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive, capital-intensive high-tech industry with high entry barriers.
Chinese medical institution's overall level of medical equipment is very low, in grassroots medical institutions of the country's medical apparatus and instruments and devices, about 15% is the product before and after the 1970 s, 60% is the product until the mid - 1980 - s, they upgrade process is a process of demand release, will ensure that the next 10 years or even a longer period of time the rapid growth of the Chinese medical equipment market.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, the continuous increase of national support and the acceleration of the process of global integration, China's medical device industry has been developing by leaps and bounds.
In 2005, China became the world's third largest medical device market after the United States and Japan, according to the China Medical Device Industry Market Outlook and Investment Forecast Analysis Report.
In 2006, China's import and export of medical devices exceeded us $10 billion for the first time, with the total value of import and export reaching US $10.552 billion, up 17.57% year on year and a cumulative surplus of US $3.169 billion.
In 2007, China's total import and export of medical devices was US $12.697 billion, up by 20.33% year on year, with a trade surplus of US $4.133 billion.
Although there is a gap between China's medical device industry and that of developed countries, the development speed of China's medical devices has attracted the attention of the world.
China's latest medical device products are also at the top of the international medical device industry.
China is set to overtake Japan as the world's second-largest market for medical devices in the next few years.
By 2010, China's total output value of medical devices will reach 100 billion yuan, accounting for 5% of the world's medical device market and 25% by 2050.
With the rapid increase of r&d strength of domestic enterprises and the shift of market focus from high-tech to popular, the competitiveness of domestic products is gradually increasing, providing a rare opportunity for domestic manufacturers to expand the market.
It can be predicted that China's medical device industry will have a huge development space in the future.
In addition, in the context of the increasingly severe world financial crisis, in order to resist the adverse impact of the international economic environment on China, the Executive meeting of the State Council held on November 5, 2008 proposed to implement the proactive fiscal policy and moderately loose monetary policy, and introduced ten more effective measures to expand domestic demand.
On November 23, 2008, the Ministry of Health announced that 4.8 billion yuan of the new 100 billion yuan of central investment will be earmarked to support the rural health service system.
In 2008, an additional 4.8 billion yuan was invested in medical equipment in rural areas by 1.5 billion yuan. In addition, an additional 6.771 billion yuan was invested in medical equipment in rural areas under the plan for 2006, representing an increase of 8.271 billion yuan in the two parts.
The increase of 8.271 billion yuan was mainly invested in the procurement of medical devices in rural areas, mainly from 2008 to 2010.
Low-end medical devices will face huge demand and will be the first to benefit.
Medical apparatus and instruments of professional talents in our country, the gap is obvious, as some of the high-end product is based on design and development of foreign technology, and the domestic market share is in the possession of a trace, the main cause of these yes this aspect of the domestic senior talent lack makes this aspect, there is still a gap between our country and the European and American countries at present domestic medical talents mainly: medical equipment sales, maintenance of medical equipment, medical device registration, medical instrument design, structural engineers, hardware and medical electronic engineers and polymer in terms of personnel, etc.
There are tens of thousands of medical device enterprises in China. By the end of 2011, there are nearly 900 enterprises above the scale in China's medical device industry, among which there are less than 2% large enterprises, 148 medium-sized enterprises and nearly 700 small enterprises, and countless enterprises below the scale.
