Medical electronic market gap obviously foreign brand-led

Continued expansion of the size of the market, the regional distribution of rural-urban differences, product brand focus features become medical electronics market as a whole, the present situation of the important Chinese market on medical electronics itself needs is portable, customization, and minimally invasive of further development.

In recent years, China's economic development, and related medical policy in-depth implementation, medical market competition gradually deepen and overall health needs of the quick release, China medical electronics market has been rapid development.

CCID consulting data show that in 2007, the market size of China's medical electronic 247.3 billion yuan, an increase of 17.3%. This market continues to expand, regional differences in urban and rural distribution, product brand focus features become medical electronics market as a whole, the present situation of the important Chinese market on medical electronics itself needs is portable, customization, and minimally invasive of further development.

Continued expansion of the size of the market

Comparing Chinese and global medical electronics market growth, nearly 4 years of continuous growth in the Chinese market is higher than the global market growth rate, and China's global market share has steadily increased, reaching 3.65% in 2007.

Our medical electronics demand growth directly contributed to medical electronics market expansion.

In recent years, China's rapid economic development, community health requirements grow, at the same time, after years of development, China's aging population trend appeared, ageing population on medical services and the increasing demand of the product.

In addition, with the overall standard of living of the people, the selection of medical electronics has also become more advanced, the market for high-end electronics demand, market demand structure has been adjusted. Healthy demand growth, product demand structural adjustment have greatly promoted the China medical electronics market growth.

Our in-depth development of hospital information system is to promote medical institutions for medical electronics demand growth.

As computer and network technologies of development, China medical institution information and networking to become medical services important trends and an important component of the competitiveness of the hospital, which also promote medical electronic market for video, digital, high precision, advanced medical electronics demand growth.

In addition, as China's health care system reform, my Government is gradually liberalized services market, allowing foreign investors to enter the hospital or private hospital, and the introduction of market mechanisms.

All hospitals in order to consolidate its competitiveness and strengthen the capacity of medical services and on-the-art medical electronic devices of high demand, it also greatly stimulated my medical electronics market development.

Difference between urban and rural areas of high concentration of large brand

At present, China medical electronics market is mainly concentrated in large and medium cities, urban medical electronics consumption accounted for China's overall medical electronics for more than 70% of the market.

China's urban residents rapidly improve standards of living, health requirements and the corresponding medical electronics demand with increased, especially in recent years, China to accelerate the process of urbanization, a large number of rural population moved to the city, to a certain extent also expanded the city needs of medical electronic devices. At the same time, large and medium-sized hospitals are mainly concentrated in cities, urban hospital modernization also promotes medical electronic products equipped with the upgrade.

Match, the rural medical electronics market has not yet been fully developed, medical electronics consumption less than 30% of the overall market.

This is because the level of the rural economy are relatively high result in medical electronics and medical services and the limited capacity of consumption; on the other hand, rural health care system is still in the adjustment, related policy protection has not yet been fully implemented, in part restricted the medical services in rural areas, as well as medical electronic products market development.

At present, China medical electronics market, mainly by foreign manufacturers.

Domestic medical e-product development progress relative lag, most of the core technology in the hands of foreign companies, this situation also leads to our medical electronics especially high-end products on the foreign brand dependency. Specifically in the brand, in 2007, China medical electronics market share still focused on General Electric, Siemens, Philips, etc in the hands of the international famous enterprises. To medical RF instruments market, for example, computer tomography scanner market, mainly in the United States in the hands of General Electric, magnetic resonance imaging device market, mainly by Germany Siemens dominated, angiography device is mainly Netherlands Philips products.

Segment needs gradually revealed

In the fast-growing medical electronics market, magnetic resonance imaging device, computer tomography, etc. larger standard equipment market has always been our main medical electronics sales contributors.

As China's medical electronics market further development as well as the needs of each market segment, the gradual emergence of China's market for medical electronics itself needs towards portable, customization, minimally invasive of direction, these breakdown products market potential release will become China's medical electronics market and an important impetus for future growth.

Portable: medical electronics as a healthy life of important auxiliary equipment, people depend on it continues to increase, with the specific disease such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease is the need to understand your illness, anytime, on blood glucose, blood pressure, Oximeter, common volume of medical electronic equipment and the easy operation of asking for more.

In the semiconductor electronics size shrinking, IC integration continues to increase, some commonly used medical device volume reduction is to be achieved, thus at the technical level greatly promoted the health development of electronic portable.

Customization: large medical electronic products are more precise and research and development, the manufacturing cycle is long, in the early days, manufacturers are mostly a product of "eat" a market-, but because patients with conditions in different regions of China and the pay levels of different, high quality

, High-profile products in some areas of promotion of embarrassing situation.

To avoid this phenomenon and to further expand sales, some manufacturers start for my specific region, particularly the second and third-tier cities and rural areas, medical electronics needs expand research and target those areas of common disease, patients and medical institutions pay level and development of specific products.

Specific performance, the same function of the product according to the different regions and different medical institutions of specific conditions for components and features are set on the regroup and price adjustments in order to better adapt to different purchasers of actual requirements.

Minimally invasive surgery: some common medical diagnostic and treatment equipment such as x-ray, endoscopic equipment bring patients help also give patients bring such as x-ray radiation and human injury certain side effects, with the continuous development of medical technology and high-tech technology continues, some type of medical electronic devices in reducing pain in patients with rapid progress, including laser equipment for the minimally invasive features and faster to get promotion.

In the future, as technology and the further development of medical technology as well as medical services requirements, minimally invasive medical devices will become China's medical electronic products important direction of development.
