The domestic medical equipment industry ushered in the spring of policy, and the future is bright

Medical equipment refers to the general term for instruments, equipment, consumables and medical information systems that are used in medical and health institutions for medical treatment, teaching, scientific research, prevention, health care, etc.
, and have the characteristics of health professional technology
.
In the development of medical and health care, medical equipment is an important material basis and is closely related to the life safety and health of the people
.
In recent years, with the advancement of "Healthy China 2030", the medical and health industry has developed rapidly, and China's medical equipment industry has also obtained good development opportunities
.
The market size of the domestic medical equipment industry is constantly expanding, from 480 billion yuan in 2015 to 840 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual compound growth rate of 11.
8%
.
The manufacturing system is basically sound, and a product system with more than 1,100 categories in 22 categories has been formed, covering all aspects of hygiene and health
.
At the same time, the number and scale of enterprises in the industry are also growing.
In 2020, there will be more than 2,300 enterprises above designated size, and the main business income will be more than 410 billion yuan
.
In general, China has become an important medical equipment manufacturing base in the world
.
2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and it is also a key year for China's medical equipment industry to develop towards a high-quality level
.
Looking back at the year, the spring of policy is coming
.
For example, on June 1, 2021, the revised "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices" was implemented, which put forward general requirements and indicated the general direction for the supervision of medical devices in the new era, while supporting the basic and applied research of medical devices.
Promote the promotion and application of new medical device technologies
.
Also in June, the "Guiding Opinions on Carrying out the Centralized Procurement and Use of High-value Medical Consumables Organized by the State", issued by the eight departments, clearly stated that the centralized procurement and use of high-value medical consumables organized by the state will focus on large clinical use.
, Products with a higher purchase amount, releasing a signal that the high-value medical consumables industry needs to "reduce prices and improve quality"
.
In addition, in order to speed up the shortcoming of China's high-end medical equipment, 10 departments in China recently jointly released the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Medical Equipment Industry", which includes diagnostic testing equipment, treatment equipment, monitoring and life support equipment, and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment equipment.
, maternal and child health equipment, health care rehabilitation equipment, active implant intervention equipment, etc.
will be regarded as seven key development areas
.
The plan clearly defines the development goals: by 2025, the medical equipment industry will be advanced and the level of industrial chain modernization will be significantly improved, the mainstream medical equipment will basically be effectively supplied, and the performance and quality of high-end medical equipment will be significantly improved.
Comprehensive support for health needs
.
By 2035, the research and development, manufacturing and application of medical equipment will be upgraded to the world's advanced level
.
The future of the domestic medical equipment industry is bright.
Since 2020, the domestic medical equipment industry has ushered in rapid development.
The domestic medical equipment giants represented by Mindray Medical have gradually risen, the technical level has been steadily improved, the competitiveness of enterprises has been continuously enhanced, and the process of domestic substitution has begun.
speed up
.
But at present, the localization rate of China's medical equipment industry is still at a relatively low level.
Taking nuclear magnetic resonance and CT as an example, the domestic market share has always been monopolized by multinational companies such as GE, Philips, and Siemens.
Opportunities for market share are still relatively limited
.
The industry pointed out that the realization of independent control of high-end equipment is the direction that domestic substitution has to experience.
However, domestic medical equipment companies still have shortcomings in core technology and research and development capabilities.
Therefore, it is necessary to continuously improve the innovation and research and development strength of local medical equipment, and at the same time strengthen International interdisciplinary cooperation can make high-tech products shine in China
.
With the release of the above-mentioned series of policies, especially the "14th Five-Year Plan" at the national level, China's medical equipment industry is expected to accelerate the pace of innovation and research and development, and at the same time accelerate the process of domestic substitution, and the entire industry has a bright future
.
Data show that it is expected that the total size of China's medical device market will approach one trillion in 2021
.
According to the "Blue Book on Medical Devices" issued by the China Food and Drug Administration and the Social Sciences Literature Publishing House, by 2025, the size of China's medical device market is estimated to reach US$266 billion.

.
In the face of the huge blue ocean of the market, it is expected that competitive companies on the track will be expected to meet greater opportunities
