China's medical electronics development status and future trends

Nowadays, China has entered an era of aging population. As of the end of last year, China’s elderly population over 60 years old has reached 160 million. However, China’s medical device industry has also developed through the basic blanks of the early liberation to now produce 47 categories and more than 3,000. With a variety of varieties and a scale of more than 11,000 specifications, the number of medical device manufacturers has exceeded 12,000.

Guo Fanli, a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry of China Investment Consulting, pointed out that because the elderly need long-term medical care and people's demand for health care, on the other hand, they also benefit from the improvement of people's living standards, and now the new medical reform is being carried out in a big way. Under the new situation, how should China's medical device industry develop in the future, and what direction should it develop?

I. General overview of China's medical device industry

China's medical device industry is an emerging health industry. Due to its development, its production capacity and R&D are far from meeting the needs of the market. China's current consumption ratio of medical devices and drugs is almost 1:10, but it is developed. The country, this ratio has reached 1:1, which shows that there is still a gap in China's medical device industry. At present, China's medical device products only account for about 60% of the domestic total, and most products rely on imports.

Guo Fanli, a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry of China Investment Consulting, pointed out that in the import and export of medical devices, in recent years, China's medical device industry imports began to grow rapidly. From January to August 2009, Guangdong Province imported a total of 260 million US dollars of medical devices, compared with the previous year. In the same period, the growth rate was 38%, and the main reason for the substantial increase was that the new medical reforms have increased the demand for grassroots medical institutions in China, and the A-stream epidemic has also increased the global demand for medical devices.

In the major cities of China's medical device industry, Shenzhen is a leading leader. Shenzhen currently has about 500 medical device companies, with an annual export volume of more than 1.3 billion US dollars, accounting for half of the entire Guangdong export trade market. In 2008, Shenzhen The output value of the medical device industry has reached more than 12 billion. The range of medical equipment products in Shenzhen is complete, not only covering all fields, but also becoming an important production base for high-tech medical device products in China.

Second, the development status of China's medical device industry

1, medical X-ray machine

X-ray is essentially an electromagnetic wave with a very short wavelength and high energy. It is medically used as a medical X-ray machine. It is one of the six major imaging devices in medicine, a common tool for diagnosing diseases and economic growth in various hospitals. Point, medical X-ray machine is a routine equipment necessary for medical units. Since the first 200 mAh medical X-ray machine was developed in China in October 1952, due to the continuous improvement of production technology and the increase of production sites, the variety and The output has increased substantially, and the technical level has also increased substantially.

Guo Fanli pointed out that because the medical X-ray machine is relatively low-end, and the focus of the new medical reform country is also in the basic rural market, there are about 16,000 county-level hospitals in China. The huge demand for new medical reform will make the low-end medical X The line machine will maintain stable development in the next 3-5 years. The annual compound growth rate of China's medical X-ray equipment market will be around 10%. It is estimated that by 2012, China's medical X-ray machine will reach a market scale of 900 million US dollars, and the promotion of new medical reform will be China's medical X-ray machine. The main driving force for development.

Guo Fanli also pointed out that although China's medical X-ray machines have broad prospects for development in the future, there are still large gaps in some technical levels compared with foreign advanced products, such as low degree of automation, incomplete varieties of special machines, and no scale production. , software development is weak, and so on, so under the influence of favorable environment, China's medical X-ray machine needs to strengthen its own construction.

Ultrasound diagnostic equipment refers to the application of ultrasonic testing technology to the human body. By measuring the data and morphology of physiological or organizational structures, discovering diseases, and making a diagnosis method, as early as the 1960s, China began to use ultrasonic diagnostic equipment. Applied to human ultrasound diagnosis research, after years of development and the wide application of ultrasonic diagnostic instruments in China, China's ultrasonic diagnostic instrument industry has formed its own unique advantages, such as no damage, high sensitivity, low cost and convenient operation.

Guo Fanli pointed out that the most widely used ultrasound diagnostic equipment is B-ultrasound, which is called X-ray, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging and is called 4 medical imaging techniques. Because ultrasound diagnosis is non-invasive, painless, convenient and intuitive. Effective inspection means that the future has broad development space. However, there are still many problems in the rapid growth of ultrasonic diagnostic instruments in China, such as the scale of enterprises, weak innovation ability, insufficient capital investment, etc., which seriously affect the healthy development of ultrasonic diagnostic instruments in China.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the need for clinical diagnosis, people are increasingly demanding non-invasive inspection equipment. In recent years, the market size of China's ultrasonic diagnostic equipment market has exceeded 200 million US dollars, becoming the world after the United States and Japan. The third largest market, coupled with the stimulation of new medical reforms, China's huge development space has attracted the world's major manufacturers to increase the development and investment of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment in the Chinese market, which will be another development of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment in China. Opportunity.

3, CT machine

CT is called X-ray computed tomography scanner. It has many advantages such as high resolution, high sensitivity and multi-level. It is one of the most installed medical image acquisition equipments in China, and is widely used in various medical clinics. The field of inspection, its advantages make it an extremely broad market. In 2008, the total installed capacity of medical image acquisition equipment in China reached nearly 25,000 units, of which about 6,800 CTs accounted for about 27% of the total installed capacity. In China's second-class hospitals, CT installed capacity accounted for the total installed capacity of CT. In the past 40 years, China's medical imaging equipment market has maintained an average annual growth rate of 15%.

Affected by the new medical reform, and the provinces and cities across the country are actively carrying out the upgrading of basic medical facilities, the demand for CT equipment by grassroots medical institutions has shown a significant growth trend. A large number of digital medical image acquisition equipments have gradually entered the grassroots level, and are expected to be in the future. The year will become the new darling of China's primary medical institutions, and CT equipment will also have a heavy-duty development, while China's primary medical market is vast, and the installed capacity of CT has been at a very low level, so it has huge room for development.

4, magnetic resonance imaging equipment
Magnetic resonance imaging acquires the picture information of human tissues through magnetic fields, and displays the molecular environment of the tissue nuclei inherent in the pixels. The magnetic resonance imaging equipment provides a more accurate clinical observation and diagnosis tool for medicine. It is considered to be the past 100 years. One of the world's largest inventions of applied technology, but because of the high price of magnetic resonance imaging equipment, and the cost of inspection once is relatively high, in general, magnetic resonance imaging examination is several times the cost of ordinary CT examination, which to some extent Both limit the application of magnetic resonance imaging equipment, so there are not many magnetic resonance imaging equipment in hospitals in China.

Guo Fanli pointed out that there are now about 16,000 hospitals at or above the county level in China. Since the FDA approved the magnetic resonance imaging system for clinical diagnosis in 1984, although the technology and equipment have developed rapidly, in the current situation in China, only This equipment is only available in large-scale top three hospitals, and an average of 1.5 million people in China have a magnetic resonance imaging device. But now with the continuous improvement of the level of medical equipment in China, the speed of replacement and replacement of medical equipment in hospitals will also accelerate, and the focus of application of magnetic resonance technology will also shift to China and the Asian market, with the angiography of magnetic resonance imaging equipment. More applications in clinical examinations such as cardiac imaging and breast imaging, and it will usher in a broad space for development in the future.

Surgical instruments are the general term for various medical devices that need to be used in surgery. The types of surgical instruments are very complicated. There are 6,000 kinds of surgical instruments in China. After more than 50 years of development, the output of surgical instruments in China is also from 1949. The 470,000 pieces have been developed to hundreds of millions of pieces, and the quality of surgical instruments has also been improved comprehensively. It has developed from low-grade to medium-to-high-end, and the emergence of minimally invasive surgical instruments has brought China's surgical instrument industry to a new stage. .

Guo Fanli pointed out that a few years ago, China rarely implemented minimally invasive surgery, mainly because of the lack of supporting minimally invasive surgical instruments in China. However, with the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological level, China has gradually developed a number of independent intellectual property rights. The minimally invasive surgical instrument products fill the gap in the domestic minimally invasive surgical instrument market. These minimally invasive surgical instruments include various specialized instruments, such as endoscopes, automatic suturing devices, minimally invasive cosmetic devices, etc. The Ministry of Science and Technology of China has included minimally invasive surgical instruments in the national “Eleventh Five-Year” development plan, the future Has a broad development prospects.

6, ECG machine

Electrocardiograph refers to the instrument used to record the physiological signals generated during cardiac activity. Since the electrocardiograph is easy to operate and moderately priced, it has become one of the most popular medical electronic instruments in hospitals at all levels. The main manufacturer of electrocardiographs in Guangdong is in Guangdong. In Shandong, Shandong and Shanghai, there are not many production enterprises. There are no more than 30 enterprises specializing in the production of electrocardiographs, and most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. Their products are mostly labor-intensive low-tech products with low technical content and poor innovation ability. And lack of independent intellectual property rights.

Guo Fanli pointed out that as the incidence of cardiovascular disease continues to rise, the electrocardiograph is also developing in the direction of multi-channel, new recording methods, digital intelligence, and network sharing. China's new ECG machine will also use digital technology to continuously improve. Work efficiency and speed up the characterization of timeliness, which will significantly improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis. Today, 90% of the domestic ECG machine market is occupied by foreign brands, and the new medical doctors have changed into a rare opportunity for the development of China's electrocardiograph market. In the future, this market pattern is expected to be broken.

7, medical monitor

The monitor is a device or system that measures and controls the physiological parameters of the patient and can be compared with known set values. If there is a device or system that can give an alarm if the standard exceeds the standard, the main market of the monitor in China is concentrated in the second and third grade hospitals. It is a tertiary hospital, and its annual average growth rate of procurement monitors is more than 50%. However, although China's medical monitor market has entered a period of rapid development, its annual average growth rate has exceeded 10%.

Guo Fanli pointed out that there are still many problems in China's monitor industry. For example, the overall level is low, the competitiveness is insufficient, and the economic level and medical level are obviously different. Nowadays, it is basically based on the production of low-end monitors. The monitors commonly used in hospitals still need to rely on foreign imports. Due to the high price of imported instruments, it is also difficult to promote in small and medium-sized hospitals. One company that has to be mentioned in China's monitor market is Shenzhen Mindray Biomedical Electronics Co., Ltd., which is the only company in China that can compete with imported brands in terms of market share. It has also established for other monitor companies. An example, and driven by the new medical reform, I believe that there will be more monitor companies in China to grow up quickly.
