Medical equipment is an important part of the pharmaceutical industry , the state for the medical device industry devoted a lot of effort has been increasing investment in research and development of high-end medical equipment , but today , China's medical device industry, the competitiveness of local enterprises are still vulnerable, more appear domestic equipment sold in the domestic market but overseas cold frustration.
Local medical equipment is difficult to occupy the domestic market
One of China as the world's hottest medical market , medical equipment and devices to market size of $ 17 billion , ranking fourth in the world and is expected to at least double in the next five years . Such a huge increase was primarily due to increased Chinese government investment in health care . Meanwhile, China 's economic development has brought steady improvement in medical facilities increasingly , the public medical care more convenient , less developed areas of public health insurance coverage continues to expand , the infrastructure has also been a sustained improvement.
With the development of China's medical industry , the medical device and equipment market is also huge potential no doubt , the international medical equipment giant has gradually seen in the broad development of this market opportunity . But for those who compete , in such a highly variable market competition is bound to not be smooth.
On the one hand , the production of high-end medical equipment sold overseas, into the mainstream market, Germany, Japan , France , more than 30 countries and regions ; on the other hand , high-end medical equipment is being used in our country , 80% of CT, 90 % of ultrasound equipment , testing equipment 85% , 90% of magnetic resonance equipment , 90% of the ECG , 80% of high-grade monitor , 90% of high-grade polygraph foreign brands, domestic products microscopic trace.
Local medical equipment deposit gap
For the cause of domestic and international medical device gap between the level of reason , prospective Industry Research Institute released " 2014-2018 Chinese medical diagnosis , monitoring and treatment equipment industry demand forecasting and analysis of investment opportunities " that there are four reasons : policy environment is not complete, lack of technology investment , innovation capability is weak , the industrial system is still relatively weak.
The reason is only reason for the four surface , the deeper reason lies in the lack of responsible persons to become internationally competitive enterprises determination and perseverance , is more focused on short-term benefits , resulting in the development of the unwilling make an effort , especially with the rapid development of social capital to do the medical market, but feel relatively weak financial strength of private medical institutions as well as more opportunities , but , from the current development of private healthcare sectors, there is no lack of participants Some multinational medical device companies and pharmaceutical companies strong financial strength , not bad money for them, in the case of physician resources are relatively backward , medical equipment with a more focused investment in its future , if local enterprises to catch up in the field of high-end medical device market space is not optimistic.
