The process of domestic production of high-end medical devices accelerates

In recent years, with the rapid development of China's medical and health industry, the process of domestic production of high-end medical devices has accelerated significantly. The combined role of policy support, technological progress and market demand will promote breakthrough progress in the field of high-end medical devices by domestic enterprises. This article will analyze the current development status of domestic high-end medical devices from the three dimensions of policy, market and technology, combined with hot data from the past 10 days.

1. Policy promotes the acceleration of domestic substitution

In recent years, the country has intensively introduced policies to encourage the localization of high-end medical devices. In 2023, the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Medical Equipment Industry" clearly states that by 2025, the scale of my country's medical equipment industry will reach 1.5 trillion yuan, and will focus on supporting domestic substitution in high-end medical imaging, in vitro diagnosis, high-value consumables and other fields. Recently, governments in many places have also issued supporting policies to promote the increase in the proportion of domestic medical devices procurement.

2. Market demand continues to grow

With the intensification of population aging and the upgrading of medical demand, the high-end medical device market maintains rapid growth. According to statistics, the scale of China's medical device market is expected to exceed 1.2 trillion yuan in 2023, of which the growth rate of sub-sectors such as high-end imaging equipment, surgical robots, and in vitro diagnosis is significant. Domestic enterprises have gradually broken the foreign investment monopoly in some areas by relying on their cost-effective advantages.

3. Technology progress helps domestic breakthroughs

In recent years, domestic companies have made significant progress in technological innovation in the field of high-end medical devices. For example, PET-CT of United Imaging Medical and high-end ultrasound equipment of Mindray Medical have ranked among the world's leading level. In addition, the application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G has further enhanced the competitiveness of domestic medical devices. Recently, many companies have announced breakthroughs in surgical robots, wearable medical devices and other fields.

4. Challenges and opportunities coexist

Although domestic high-end medical devices are developing rapidly, they still face challenges such as relying on imports for core technologies and insufficient brand influence. In the future, enterprises need to increase R&D investment and improve product quality, and at the same time, they need to further expand domestic and foreign markets with the help of policy dividends. With the acceleration of the domesticization process, China's high-end medical device industry is expected to occupy a more important position in the global market.
