History of Medical Devices

Medical equipment industry involves medicine, machinery, electronics, plastics and other industries, is a multidisciplinary cross, knowledge-intensive, capital-intensive high-tech industry. The basic characteristics of high-tech medical equipment is digital and computerized, is a multidisciplinary, cross-field crystallization of modern high technology, its product technology content is high, high profits, and therefore the scientific and technological powers, the international large-scale companies competing with each other on the heights of the threshold of intervention is high. Even in the industry as a whole, lower gross margins, input is not high in the sub-industry will continue to have a higher technological content of the products, and from this spawned a number of enterprises with strong profitability. Therefore, the overall trend of the industry is high input, high yield.

Medical imaging equipment is an indispensable part of hospital medical equipment, but also an important manifestation of the hospital's comprehensive strength, not only for clinical diagnosis and treatment to provide important protection, while providing an important platform for clinical research. As a comprehensive platform, imaging equipment plays an important role in promoting the development of hospitals.

With the development of China's medical care and the renewal of some hospital equipment, in recent years, China's market demand for medical imaging diagnostic equipment has grown dramatically, objectively promoting the development of China's medical imaging diagnostic equipment industry, in the process of rapid development, a number of enterprises continue to grow and form a certain degree of competitiveness, the domestic production of medical imaging diagnostic equipment of its own The market share of domestic independently produced medical imaging diagnostic equipment has increased.

About 15% of the medical devices in the national primary healthcare institutions are products around the 1970s, and 60% are products before the mid-1980s. The process of their upgrading and replacement is another process of demand release, which ensures the rapid growth of China's medical device market in the next 10 years or even longer. Along with the deepening of reform and opening up, increasing national support and accelerating global integration, China's medical device industry is growing by leaps and bounds
