There is no doubt that China's medical market has huge potential. In the medical market, it can be roughly divided into drugs and medical devices, both of which have unlimited potential for development. In particular, the medical apparatus and instruments industry is still a sunrise industry in China. The medical apparatus and instruments industry started late in China, but it develops relatively fast. At present, there are more than 15,000 medical apparatus and instruments production enterprises, large and small, in China. This makes Chinese and foreign investors focus on this huge market and enter into China's medical equipment market in various ways. For example, some multinational groups extend to China's primary medical care market in the form of merger and acquisition, and domestic enterprises are also accelerating the integration and acquisition. In the future, the pattern of China's medical equipment industry is bound to undergo a major adjustment.
According to statistics, the compound growth rate of sales in the global medical equipment market is 8.35%, while the conforming growth rate of China in recent ten years has reached 21.3%, which is far higher than the average level of the world. However, from another perspective, the proportion of the medical equipment industry in the global pharmaceutical industry is 42%, while that in China is 14%. Therefore, the gap is still large, indicating that the medical equipment industry in China is far from reaching the degree of saturation. From the perspective of consumption, China's per capita medical equipment consumption level and the global average level of consumption is five to six times the gap, which shows that China's medical equipment market has a huge space for development.
However, serious problems still exist in China's medical equipment industry, and officials of relevant departments have pointed out without any disguise that some high-end products cannot be manufactured by Chinese medical equipment enterprises. And the basic products don't do well; The layout and scale of the industry are not big enough, so there is a small problem. High-end medical equipment is not strong. In addition, the basic medical equipment of a large number of primary medical institutions in China does not meet the requirements.
Analysis of the reasons, China's medical equipment industry has low investment in innovation, the lack of innovation momentum; Industry coordination mechanism is not sound; The unreasonable industrial structure hinders the development of medical equipment industry in China. Therefore, innovation is the most critical factor for the rapid development of China's local medical equipment industry. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the integration of the industry and adjust the industrial layout, so as to enhance the core competitiveness of China's medical equipment industry. According to the 12th Five-Year Plan of China's medical equipment industry, the state will vigorously support a dozen large medical equipment group companies and dozens of innovative companies to establish eight to ten medical equipment technology industrial bases and ten innovative product application bases.
