Since the reform and opening up, the development of China's medical device industry has attracted the attention of the world, especially since the 21st century, the industry as a whole has entered a stage of rapid growth. In the past five years, the number of medical institutions across the country has grown steadily, and the next few years will bring a large amount of medical infrastructure investment, which will benefit medical device manufacturers. Starting in 2014, the first responsibility of medical device manufacturers will be further implemented, and the quality and safety awareness and level of manufacturers will be significantly improved, thereby promoting the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the medical device industry, and enhancing my country's medical device quality and safety assurance capabilities . But the development of my country's medical device industry still has a long way to go.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics: In 2016, the number of enterprises above designated size in my country's medical device manufacturing industry was 1,449, and in 2017, the number of enterprises above designated size in my country's medical device manufacturing industry increased to 1,530. The trend of the number of enterprises above designated size in my country's medical device manufacturing industry from 2011 to 2017.

At present, my country's medical device market is growing rapidly, and it has become the world's third largest medical device market after the United States and Japan. my country has become a major area driving the increase in the global market. In the next few years, if the current development speed is maintained, my country will surpass Japan to become the world's second largest medical device market. Medical devices and drugs are two important means of medical treatment. The sales ratios of the two in developed countries are relatively close, while the sales of medical devices in my country are about one-third of the sales of drugs, which shows that my country's medical device market has huge potential.

my country's medical device market is active, and the national policy guidance and the upgrading needs of domestic medical and health institutions have made China a huge medical device consumer market. In the context of stimulating market demand and the sustained and stable development of China's economy, my country's medical device industry has developed rapidly. The important position in the entire pharmaceutical industry is becoming more and more prominent, and it is following the development path of "heavy equipment and light drugs" in developed countries. Of course, this still has a long way to go.

With the development of my country's medical device industry, several medical device industry clusters and manufacturing development belts have been formed across the country. The Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin Bohai Bay have become the three major local medical device industry clusters. According to incomplete statistics, the total output value of the three major regions and the total sales of medical devices account for more than 80% of the national total. Because of their own different conditions, these three major industrial clusters have shown obvious regional characteristics.

The total output value of my country's medical device manufacturing industry in 2016 was 298.608 billion yuan, and the total output value of my country's medical device manufacturing industry in 2017 was 296.669 billion yuan.

From the perspective of the output value of the subdivisions, the output value of the medical, surgical and veterinary equipment field in 2017 exceeded 100 billion yuan, followed by the output value of medical diagnosis, monitoring and treatment equipment of 96.436 billion yuan.

In the Pearl River Delta (including Zhuhai, Guangzhou, etc.) centered on Shenzhen, the R&D and production of comprehensive high-tech medical equipment products are its strengths. The main products are medical imaging equipment such as monitoring equipment, ultrasound diagnosis, MRI, and gamma knife, X knife Such large-scale stereotactic radiotherapy equipment, tumor hyperthermia equipment, etc., directly reflect the new technology of modern medical equipment. Shenzhen's export of medical equipment has developed rapidly, and the regional gross output value has increased at a rate of more than 30%.

Shenzhen’s industrial advantages lie in the fields of electronics, computers, communications, and mechatronics. The development of modern medical devices has integrated high-tech achievements in these fields, resulting in intensive advantages, plus Shenzhen’s preferential policies, mechanisms, The incentives and cultivation of market and other factors have enabled the medical device industry to flourish in Shenzhen.

In recent years, the development of medical equipment in the Bohai Bay area (including Tianjin, Liaoning and Shandong) centered on Beijing has been rapid. One includes DR, MRI, digital ultrasound, accelerator, computer navigation and positioning medical equipment, respiratory anesthesia machine, orthopedic equipment and A group of cardiovascular equipment manufacturers is forming. A number of small and medium-sized enterprises have risen rapidly. These enterprises have been established within a few years, but their output value has approached or even exceeded 100 million yuan. With the help of the government's attention and their own scientific and technological capabilities, they are more inclined to the field of digital medical equipment. Although the power shown in the market is not very prominent and strong, but the momentum is strong and the potential is huge.

Shanghai has a solid industrial foundation. Whether it is products or technology, Shanghai is a leader in my country's medical device industry. The Yangtze River Delta (including Jiangsu and Zhejiang) with Shanghai as the center is one of the three major medical equipment industry clusters in my country. This area is characterized by rapid industrial development, active small and medium-sized enterprises, and obvious regional characteristics. Its disposable medical equipment and consumables The domestic market share of more than half. In addition, there are ophthalmic equipment in Suzhou, medical ultrasound in Wuxi, microwave in Nanjing, radiofrequency tumor hyperthermia, MRI in Ningbo, and Shanghai's comprehensive strengths, which are relatively outstanding.

In addition, the Chengdu-Chongqing area with Chongqing as the center and the Central China area with Wuhan as the center are also emerging areas featuring biomedical materials, implantable devices and tissue engineering.

The medical device manufacturing industry in various regions of the country has begun to exert its strength. The number of manufacturers in the medical industry industry is showing a situation of blooming. There are hundreds of manufacturing companies in some subdivided fields. The competition in the industry is becoming more and more intense, which is to a certain extent. It has improved the technological development and industry maturity of my country's medical equipment.

In 2017, the sales revenue of my country's medical device industry was 282.810 billion yuan. Based on the exchange rate during the same period, my country's medical device imports were 137.526 billion yuan; the export value was 146.577 billion yuan. The size of my country's medical device market increased from 61.334 billion yuan in 2010 to 2017. 273.759 billion yuan in the year.
