The medical device industry involves a number of industries such as pharmaceuticals, machinery, electronics, plastics, etc. It is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive high-tech industry. And 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 various scientific and technological powers, large international companies compete with each other the high point, the entry threshold is high.
Even in the industry as a whole, lower gross margins, inputs are not high in the sub-industry will continue to have a higher technical content of the product, and from this spawned a number of companies with strong profitability. Therefore, the overall trend of the industry is high input, high yield.
