Industry development prospect and trend forecast
1. Industry development trend: During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, efforts will be made to improve the detection innovation capability.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, driven by the epidemic demand in COVID-19, all provinces and cities have planned the development of independent medical laboratory industry in China, focusing on improving the detection ability and innovation ability of laboratories.
2. Industry demand trend: the penetration rate of independent medical laboratories is expected to increase significantly.
At present, the penetration rate of independent medical laboratories in China is low, about 5%. In 2020, the market size of China's independent medical laboratory industry will be nearly 310.90 billion yuan. However, judging from the penetration rate of more than 50% in mature markets such as the United States, Europe and Japan, China's third-party testing market has great development potential.
With the trend of medical insurance outsourcing becoming the mainstream, the penetration rate of independent medical laboratories is expected to continue to increase. If the business penetration rate of independent medical laboratories in China reaches the level of the United States (30%) in 2025, combined with the scale of medical inspection demand in China, the market scale of independent medical laboratories in China can reach 654.38+74 billion yuan; If the penetration rate reaches the level of Europe (50%), the market size will be nearly 290 billion yuan; If the penetration rate reaches the level of Japan (60%), the market size will reach 348 billion yuan.
(Note: According to the demand of outpatient inspection and inpatient inspection in the Yearbook of Health Statistics, the demand scale of medical inspection service in China in 2020 is preliminarily calculated, and then the demand scale of medical inspection service in 2025 is calculated in combination with the market growth rate. )
