Cai Tianzhi: China's medical equipment trade deficit reversed

â–  China's conventional equipment, surgical instruments, massage equipment and other small and medium-sized products are competitive internationally
â–  Ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, patient monitors and other high-tech medical equipment with independent intellectual property rights and independent brands, and exports are growing steadily
In recent years, China's medical device production technology level and product quality have been continuously improved, the demand for imported medical devices has slowed down, and the situation that medical device imports are larger than exports has been fundamentally reversed. The serious trade deficit of medical devices in China has changed for a long time.
According to customs statistics, the total import and export of medical equipment in China in the first half of 2006 reached US$4.991 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20.94%, of which exports amounted to US$3.168 billion, an increase of 31.35% year-on-year to US$1.823 billion, an increase of 6.30% year-on-year.
Generally speaking, in the first half of 2006, China's medical equipment foreign trade maintained a large surplus, and the growth rate of exports was 25 percentage points higher than that of imports. The accumulated surplus reached 1.345 billion US dollars.
This was revealed by Cai Tianzhi, director of the Medical Devices Division of the China Medical Insurance Association, at the press conference of the first China International Health Products Exhibition held on August 16.
At present, the global medical device market is about 230 billion US dollars. The world's largest medical device market is the United States, the European Union and Japan. The United States is the world's largest medical device producer and consumer, and it supplies more than 40% of the world market. Medical devices consume 37% of the world's medical devices. The United States is the largest market for the export of medical equipment and equipment in China, with Japan ranked second and Germany ranked third.
Cai Tianzhi introduced that some medical device products in China currently occupy a considerable share in the international market. Only the thermometers produced in Shenzhen account for 70% of the world's total. Eighty percent of the dentures in France and Germany are made in China. China has become the world's third largest medical device market after the United States and Japan. The medical device market has annual sales of 54.8 billion yuan and is growing at a rate of around 14% per year.
From the perspective of export product structure, small and medium-sized products such as conventional equipment, surgical instruments, and massage appliances have price advantages, and their functions and reliability are comparable to those of similar foreign products. China's small and medium-sized medical devices have obvious comparative advantages and competitiveness in the international market. In terms of the export of high-tech medical equipment, some private high-tech enterprises in China have developed rapidly in recent years. Ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, patient monitors and other products have independent intellectual property rights and independent brands, and exports have grown steadily. Although there are still many gaps in China's medical devices compared with developed countries, especially some key technologies and key processes of high-end products are not fully understood. Some high-performance sensors and information acquisition or processing components still need to be imported, but after all, we have A promising step in independent innovation has laid a good foundation for future development.
Cai Tianzhi said that in recent years, massage equipment has become more and more important in the medical device and equipment industry. It is the largest export product in the industry. The export volume is growing at a double-digit rate every year. The export market is expanding and the export prospect is very high. broad. In the first half of 2006, the export value of massage appliances was US$336 million, an increase of 39.67% over the same period of last year, and it was exported to 137 countries and regions.
The international medical device market, including massage equipment, is relatively stable, with no major trade frictions or disputes. Some enterprises' medical device products have obtained the passport to enter the international market and can enter more international markets. The international market has significantly increased the purchasing power of these products compared with other products, and the products have become high after being certified. Guaranteed products, the price has also increased a lot.
In particular, EU customers attach great importance to certification, and E-certified products will soon enter the European and American sales channels, shortening the transaction cycle. And as the company continues to advance in core technologies such as chips and computer programs, the current massage devices have changed a lot compared to the past, and unlike the previous ones, the massage chairs can be almost from head to toe. Massage to. Some enterprises have brought new anger and more confidence to the entire health care medical device industry by developing core technologies with independent intellectual property rights.
