With over 1.3 billion people and steady economic growth, China has become one of fastest growing medical markets in the world and the largest medical device market in Asia (excluding Japan).
China's market is fairly parallel. Foreign players dominate the top end of the market with imports or locally produced equipment using innovative technology. Domestic products, limited in range and using less advanced technology, are more cheaply available and occupy the lower end of the market. Chinese self sufficiency in the segments of high technology and high value products, such as multi-slice spiral CT, high field superconducting MRI, digital x-ray systems, color ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, fiber-optics, and electronic endoscope, is only about 10% to 20%. Medical equipment using advanced foreign technology is in demand in China. Improving and elevating China's medical equipment industry will require huge foreign investments and an increase in the transfer of technology from foreign companies to their Chinese partners.
Rapid economic development in China has led to a corresponding increase in the medical equipment market. Almost all leading foreign industry players have formed joint ventures in the Chinese medical equipment industry, including GE, Siemens, Philips, Hitachi, and Toshiba.
This BCC report will be of interest to medical equipment producers, traders, investors, and other market stakeholders. Although China's medical equipment market is still smaller than U.S., EU, or Japan, its long-term potential is huge. China will be a large consumer in the global medical equipment marketplace, as well as a provider of opportunities for research, due to its relevantly low levels of R&D.
BCC presents a detailed analysis of high technology and other high-value products in the medical equipment market in China., and does not include the lower end products that use less advanced technologies. Market projections are provided for the period 2007 through 2012. Among the segments covered are those listed below:
