The status of foreign-funded medical devices is difficult to shake: the rise of domestic medical equipment by "technology"

Medical devices are different from industries such as electronics and machinery. Medical devices are divided by application, the technical field is not fixed, and the scope is very broad. This means that the level of Medical Equipment is closely related to the overall industrial level.

In the top three hospitals in China, the domestic high-end medical device products have a low market share. According to many industry insiders, more than 50% of mid-range products rely on foreign imports, and the high-end import rate is even higher than 90%.

Industry reports show that the average output value of medical device manufacturers in Shenzhen is only about 40 million yuan; there are only 30 to 40 yuan in the billion yuan, and hundreds of them under 40 million yuan.

In May 2015, the Health and Family Planning Commission announced the first batch of 95 excellent domestic medical equipments . The desktop color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, digital X-ray machine and automatic biochemical analyzer have three kinds of market share and competitiveness. Appropriate equipment that meets the needs of the grassroots is selected.

On this hot summer day, the ice of the medical device industry seems to have begun to melt.

"In the past two years, our large-scale treatment equipment has finally begun to enter the top three hospitals in China, which was previously unimaginable." A Shenzhen-based company that produces high-end medical equipment is talking about the industry of "First Financial Daily" reporters. When you change, you are happy.

In the top three hospitals in China, the domestic high-end medical device products have a low market share. Although there is no official statistics, according to many industry insiders, more than 50% of the mid-range products rely on foreign imports, and the high-end import rate is even higher than 90%.

China's medical device industry mainly produces low-end products; high-end products are slow to develop due to problems such as long technology, capital and long payback period.

In 2015, China's medical equipment exports reached 21.17 billion US dollars, an increase of 5.73%, but the export products are still based on disposable medical supplies, medical dressings, massage equipment and low-end medical equipment. High-end products such as high-value consumables, CT machines, magnetic resonance instruments and implantable medical devices are still mainly imported.

However, in recent years, with the introduction of a series of favorable policies, a large number of medical device companies have risen vigorously and began to enter the domestic high-end market. Therefore, the industry is gradually shifting to the upstream and high-end value chain to achieve the replacement of imported products.

At the same time, the state's regulation of the medical device industry has become increasingly strict. It is foreseeable that a large number of small and medium-sized production enterprises are facing industry reshuffle, and the superior resources and market will be further concentrated in enterprises with strong financial strength.

The status of foreign brands is difficult to shake

The Pearl River Delta is one of the important concentration areas for medical device manufacturers. Compared with the enterprises that produce therapeutic equipment in the previous article, the neurological products such as transcranial Doppler (TCD) produced by Wang Yiyi's company are diagnostic equipments. The risk of human body use is not so high. It is earlier in the top three hospitals. After 2009,". He told the "First Financial Daily" reporter: "Now, the top three hospitals are our main users."

Wang Yiyi is the person in charge of Shenzhen Delikai Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. The company was jointly developed with TCD inventor RuneAaslid and has six invention patents. In 2011, it was approved by the National Science and Technology Ministry Torch Program.

Although they had been stationed in the top three hospitals around 2009, the process was even long for the company established in 1998.

At present, their TCD has not only entered the top three hospitals in China, but also exported to the United States, Germany and South Korea. Last year, the operating income was nearly 30 million yuan. This year, due to the listing of new products, sales revenue is expected to increase by a large margin.

Even if these high-end domestic medical devices are beginning to rise, the monopoly position of foreign brands in the domestic market is difficult to shake in the short term.

Mao Weiming, the public relations director of Shenzhen Mindray Biomedical Electronics Co., Ltd., the largest medical device manufacturer in the country, told reporters that medical devices are an auxiliary tool for Western medicine, and foreign brands have great advantages in this field. From the perspective of market segments, Johnson & Johnson is a giant of implantable medical devices. GM, Philips and Siemens are the leaders in the diagnostic device industry, accounting for more than 80% of the domestic high-end market. In the field of inspection equipment, the top three foreign brands are also Occupy more than 70% of the domestic high-end market share.

He said: "It takes time to change the situation. This is a process of market accumulation, just started. In addition, the purchasers of high-end products are not short of money, there is no need to risk certain risks, and domestic products are selected for cost-effectiveness."
