China's medical device market is booming and full of stamina

According to research and analysis, under the policy push, it is expected that China's medical electronics industry revenue will nearly double in five years from 2011.

In addition, in response to China's 12th Five-Year Medical Plan, first-line medical electronics manufacturers plan to introduce cost equipment for second- and third-tier cities. At the same time, R&D investment from domestic manufacturers is also increasing. Leading domestic manufacturers are adopting advanced products to differentiate and enhance brand influence and change their low-end positioning.

Experts believe that due to the strong demand for personal health monitoring, various household portable medical devices have quickly become popular products. It is predicted that the revenue of consumer medical equipment will increase to US$1.1 billion in 2012, an increase of 19% over 2011.

At the same time, China's consumer medical equipment market will use semiconductor devices worth about $70 million in 2012, accounting for 28.5% of the total consumption. As portability becomes more important to medical devices, vendors are looking to reduce design complexity and the time required to develop finished products.

Recently, the 68th China International Medical Equipment Fair was held in Rongcheng. The largest medical device exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region has attracted many people from around the world to come to Chengdu.

According to the organizer, this exhibition covers tens of thousands of products including medical imaging, in vitro diagnostics, electronics, optics, first aid, rehabilitation care, medical information technology, outsourcing services, etc., directly and comprehensively serving the medical device industry from source to terminal. The entire medical industry chain. There are more than 2,600 medical device manufacturers from more than 20 countries and more than 150,000 government agencies, hospital buyers and distributors from more than 100 countries and regions around the world.

International medical giants lay out domestic basic medical market

The development of primary health care has become the consensus of the government to the people in these years, and the government has given many inclinations in policy. Some international medical giants have also begun to lay out primary care. At the exhibition site, the reporter saw that in addition to demonstrating the core products of basic medical care, Philips Medical also concentrated on the "intelligent, multi-source, all-digital" Philips magnetic resonance family, and released a number of leading new products. At the same time, Philips also released the "Dandelion" project with the purpose of "delivering health and benefiting the public" and announced its beginning of comprehensive implementation of the basic medical strategy in the Chinese market.

According to Zhang Wenming, president of Philips Healthcare Greater China, in recent years, the construction of China's primary health care system has achieved rapid development. In the future, it has become a consensus in the industry to let primary health care play a greater role in the entire medical system. The basic medical business has become an important part of Philips' global business strategy, and Philips Medical will actively serve the Chinese primary medical market. International medical device giant GE Healthcare also demonstrated four innovative products specifically for primary care at the medical fair. It is understood that since 2011, GE Healthcare has launched the “Spring Breeze Program”, a comprehensive strategy for supporting and caring for primary care, with a focus on providing practical, efficient and convenient medical products and solutions for primary care. GE Healthcare Greater China President and CEO Duan Xiaoyu said: "GE Healthcare has further accelerated the development of 'China-based, Service China' (ICFC) products in recent years, while optimizing channel resources, rebuilding service models, and enhancing the localization of the supply chain. It will make GE Healthcare closer to the Chinese market.

New cross-border technology makes medical devices smarter

In addition to traditional medicines, medical equipment is now receiving more and more attention from clinicians. The intelligentization of equipment has become an important direction for the development of the entire industry, and many new technologies are also applied to equipment. As the world's leading equipment research and development giant, Medtronic demonstrated the 3C integrated system of the first real-time dynamic insulin pump system in China, which made many people with diabetes more precise.

The 3C integration system monitors blood glucose information in real time, simulates physiological insulin secretion, and manages diabetes software throughout the process. This system can set the threshold for hypoglycemia alarms, and when the blood glucose reaches the set limit, it will remind the doctor and the patient to intervene in time. With this system, older people with diabetes can also avoid blood sugar fluctuations to the utmost.

Many people have done X-ray examinations at the hospital, and every time they go, they will face such a cold device. At this exhibition, the “robot” X-ray system developed by Carestream Medical was also officially unveiled. The reporter found that although this device does not look like a "robot", its function has been completely systematic and intelligent. Not only the electric drive system, but also a variety of lifting functions, imaging processing is also very clear. 3D technology is currently used on many home TVs, and Sony has applied this technology to surgery. Later, when the doctor is doing the surgical suture, the three-dimensional wound wound will be seen through the display, which will be more conducive to the perfection of the suture. The equipment is more and more systematic and intelligent, and the doctor's diagnosis will be more and more precise. It is more and more convenient for the people to check the treatment.
