Chinas medical device industry, six big hope for the development of space

China's medical equipment industry has room for development

China's medical device industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Experts and scholars from home and abroad gathered in Kunming, China - South Asia, Southeast Asia Medical Cooperation Forum and Kunming Great Health International Forum to discuss issues related to medical devices.

"China's medical equipment is still in a primary stage of quantitative development, with a large number of enterprises and a small economy." Gao Guobiao, deputy director of the Medical Device Registration Department of the State Food and Drug Administration, said there are currently 15,838 medical device manufacturers in China The output value of enterprises under 20 million yuan accounted for nearly 90%.

"There is plenty of room for development in the medical device industry." Gao Guobiao said that medical devices are the fastest growing industries in the health industry and the top three in the healthcare industry for many years.

The "2016 China Medical Device Industry Development Blue Book" shows that the total size of China's medical device market in 2016 is about 370 billion yuan, an increase of 62 billion yuan from 308 billion yuan in 2015. Among them, medical medical device market is about 269 billion yuan, accounting for about 72.70%; home medical device market exceeded 100 billion yuan mark, about 101 billion yuan, accounting for 27.30%.
