According to an exclusive report from the authorities of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the special project of the Ministry of Science and Technology for the "Special Plan for the Development of Medical Devices Industry Science and Technology 2011-2015" has been completed. It is expected to be issued in the near future after extensive consultation with medical device manufacturers.

According to a source from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, China will vigorously upgrade the digitization, intelligence, high precision, and networking of medical devices, and promote the development of domestic medical devices. The next step is to achieve remanufacturing in the field of medical devices.

According to a source from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the "Special Plan" has support for high-, middle-, and low-end medical devices. There are 10 types of key basic equipment involved in primary medical care, and it is expected to promote ultrasound equipment of high quality and low price suitable for national conditions; to focus on high-value consumables in the high-end product areas and strive to achieve pricing power; medical equipment service business will receive stand by.

According to this source, since the beginning of 2008, China has started a national medical device industry research and currently has basic information. The current characteristics of the domestic medical device industry are: small batches, but high profit margins; products have public product attributes and fall within the scope of government orders; the industry's high-tech industries have obvious characteristics, innovation is very fast, and the policies receive great attention.

According to Wang Xiaoqing, an expert committee member of the China Medical Device Industry Association, the current development of medical devices is showing an integrated development trend. The company’s sales will no longer be just devices but integrated services and comprehensive solutions. Home medical devices are geared to Basic medical devices and wireless network-based medical devices are likely to gain a larger market.

According to reports, because the grass-roots community hospitals are not the main medical diagnostic institution, but are the main operating organ for the rehabilitation process in the future, home medical devices are expected to occupy beachheads in community hospitals.

The scattered and chaotic features of the medical device industry have also received attention. According to Xu Hang, chairman of Mindray Biomedical Electronics Co., Ltd., the total number of companies in China's medical device industry is about 14,000, but less than 200 companies have sales of more than 100 million yuan. The industry shows high-tech, multi-disciplinary, complex production processes, and the status quo that SMEs dominate the mainstream and have a wide gap in overall strength. However, from the global market, 70% of medical device sales are concentrated in the hands of the top 30 companies.

In the secondary market, the value of investment in the medical device industry is also promising. The medical device segment performed well against the trend on the 10th, Yangpu Medical and Jiu'an Medical had two daily limit, and Lepu Medical and Yuyue Medical performed well.

According to the Minsheng Securities research, the demand for domestic medical devices is improving, and the pressure for price reduction is small. With the increase in the ratio of new rural cooperative medical insurance and urban residents' medical insurance, the demand for accurate diagnosis will be higher and higher, and the demand for various types of medical equipment will be strong.

It is understood that the current domestic low-end inspection equipment has reached a peak period, foreign companies in the field of high-end equipment occupy an absolute advantage, high-quality home medical equipment companies are expected to become a better investment target.
