Medical device industry development The most important thing is to do a good job in innovation

Summary: The development of society has promoted the development of the industry, over the years, China's medical device industry growth rate is super fast, has reached 20%, regardless of medical device wholesale or procurement, the global medical industry growth rate is about 10%. It is expected that the market size will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2015. Especially in the context that the scale of China's medical device market only accounts for 14% of the total pharmaceutical market size, the domestic medical equipment market still has at least 5~6 times room for improvement.

The scale of China's medical device market has jumped to the second place in the world, especially in a variety of low-end medical device products, the output ranks first in the world. However, high-end products account for only 25% of China's medical device market, and low-end products account for 75%, and in the 25% high-end product market, 70% of the share is occupied by foreign-funded enterprises.

The development of the medical equipment industry is the most important thing to do a good job of innovation

In this context, on August 31, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Health and Family Planning Commission jointly held a symposium on promoting the development and application of domestic medical equipment in Beijing and signed a cooperation agreement. At the meeting, Miao Wei, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stressed that the medical equipment industry is a sunrise industry with intensive capital and technology, large industrial relevance, strong driving force and broad development prospects. To promote the development of the domestic medical equipment industry, efforts should be made from two aspects: the innovation chain and the application chain.

In the innovation chain, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology needs to integrate upstream and downstream resources, focus on supporting advantageous enterprises, break through a number of key medical equipment and core components and software, and significantly improve the industrialization capacity and quality level of domestic medical equipment; In the application chain, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology should closely integrate the relevant work and policy measures of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, promote a number of domestic medical equipment to enter influential hospitals for application and comparative verification, and establish a number of domestic medical equipment application demonstration bases.

With the improvement of economic level and health awareness, the intensification of population aging, the continuous upgrading of medical devices and the continuous increase in China's investment in the field of medical devices, China's medical device market will produce greater growth space in the next few years. In the market competition, innovation and technology investment are particularly important.

Domestic medical equipment may develop rapidly

With the further tilt of policies and the further improvement of "Internet + graded diagnosis and treatment", the diagnosis and treatment model of primary diagnosis and two-way referral at the grassroots level will be formed, and grassroots hospitals will usher in the peak of equipment upgrading, and domestic medical devices will be rapidly developed. ”

However, according to relevant statistics, among the 16,000 medical device companies in China, except for a few enterprises such as Neusoft and Mindray that have developed well, most of the rest are small and medium-sized medical device companies. Based on the total medical device market of 276 billion yuan in 2014, the average income of medical device manufacturers is only about 17 million yuan.

Although China's medical device industry has developed rapidly, most of them are small small enterprises, it is difficult to form effective competitiveness in the international market, and today, when the global market is opened and economic cooperation is deepening, if enterprises cannot become bigger and stronger, it is difficult to gain advantages in the competition.
