When you are old, your hair is white and your sleep is dim. When you are old, you can't walk, the fire is beside the fire, and you can remember the youth... A "When You Are Old" sings too many Chinese young people's feelings about their parents, and the emotions can't help but make people cry. Working hard, hard to handle, time has not slowed down because of our deep feelings, and the blue silk next to them has already been dyed with snow frost. Unconsciously, they are old.
221 million, an astonishing figure, this is the current aging population data of China, which is counted by China's aging research institutions, and this data will gradually increase over time. It is estimated that by 2050, the elderly population will reach 400 million. In the future, more and more people will enter the aging stage. China will face an aging problem, and the pressures caused by aging will gradually become more prominent.
The primary problem brought about by the aging of the population is the rehabilitation problem. How to solve the health needs of the largest aging population. As an important part of the health industry, the medical device industry is facing both challenges and opportunities.
There is also a Chinese characteristic situation, that is, the children of most elderly people are hard to take care of their parents because of the pressure of work and life. Therefore, products such as medical rehabilitation and disease prevention have become an inevitable development in the medical system. The missing part, and inevitably will expand in the future.
150 billion market big cake
Currently, medical devices have begun to evolve from hospital medical devices to home medical devices. In developed countries, home medical devices account for 40% of the entire medical device industry, and China is still far below this proportion. Home medical devices have great potential for development in China.
According to statistics, in the past five years, with the support of policy support, consumption concept change, capital pursuit and other factors, China's family medical devices have achieved rapid development. According to data released by China Industrial Information Network, the scale of China's home medical device market is 2011. The annual revenue of 17.66 billion yuan has grown to 48 billion yuan in 2015. The compound growth rate in the past five years is close to 22%, which is higher than the average annual growth rate of medical equipment by about 11%.
This shows that demand growth is the most important driving force for the expansion of China's home medical devices. The two processes of accelerated aging and consumption upgrade will promote the rapid growth of demand for home medical devices in China. The next five to ten years will be China's major health industry. Accelerate the development phase. Industry insiders expect that the family medical equipment will continue to grow at a rate of about 25% per year in the next five years. By 2020, the industry scale is expected to reach 150 billion yuan.
High-end is mostly monopolized by foreign countries
From the perspective of the growth rate of the total output value of the medical device and the pharmaceutical industry in recent years, the development speed of medical devices is generally faster than that of the pharmaceutical industry. This shows that the market demand and industrial scale of China's medical devices will continue to expand in the future. At the same time, there is still a lot of room for adjustment in the structure of medical device products in China. Among them, the imaging diagnostic equipment occupies the largest market share, reaching more than 40%. In addition, the proportion of various consumables and dental, orthopedic and implantable medical devices is about 40%, and other categories account for about 20%.
However, from the market share of high-end products, domestic medical device companies have a significant gap in market share compared with foreign companies, especially in the field of technical products, more than 70% have been occupied by foreign capital. Especially in areas with high technical barriers such as medical imaging equipment and in vitro diagnostics, the foreign market share is over 80%. Domestic enterprises have more manufacturers in the low-end medical devices such as low-end consumables and black-and-white B-ultrasounds. The product differentiation is low, the industry concentration is low, the homogenization is serious, and the competitiveness is not strong. This means greater challenges for domestic companies.
Accelerate the pace of industrial innovation
In fact, China's medical device industry has a broad development space, especially under the premise of government policy support and a huge consumption base. However, as far as the current research is concerned, the development status of China's medical device enterprises is unscientific, non-standard, low-tech, and low-end products. The reasons for this phenomenon are broadly divided into:
First of all, there are more SMEs, which will reduce the overall industry level. According to the data, as of the end of 2013, there were 990 enterprises above designated size in China's medical device industry, less than 20 large-scale enterprises, 180 medium-sized enterprises, and 700 small-sized enterprises. There are countless enterprises below the scale.
Secondly, the products are mainly low-end and high-end demand cannot be self-sufficient. At present, China's medical device industry is far behind the international advanced enterprises in terms of equipment level, production technology and production technology. It can only choose to produce low-end products, and it is always in the high-end product field, whether it is product quality or innovation. The strength is unable to meet the current market demand.
How to break this situation, the economic development will drive the continuous improvement of service demand, the selection of medical equipment will be more and more advanced, and the product structure will inevitably be adjusted. In the future, this phenomenon will force medical equipment enterprises to actively innovate technology and cater to the market. Demand, thereby promoting industrial development. Industry insiders pointed out that we should accelerate the pace of industrial innovation, increase investment in science and technology, introduce advanced talents, learn advanced foreign technology, optimize industrial resource allocation, lead the transformation and upgrading of medical device industry, expand the production scale of high-end products, strive for government support, and enhance corporate competitiveness. .
The development of the Internet industry has not only brought new growth points to the development of traditional manufacturing, but also has an effect on China's overall economic growth. Under the influence of this new model, the medical device industry must of course also combine the advantages of the Internet to take the road of information management. This is the consensus in the industry.
With the development of computer and network technology, informationization and networking in the medical field are the development trend of medical management in the future. This trend will lead to an increase in demand for high-tech medical equipment such as imaging and digitization. With the development of IT technology and its integration with medical technology, many new medical methods will be invented. Informatization and networking in the medical field are the development trend of medical management in the future. This trend will lead to an increase in demand for high-tech medical equipment such as imaging and digitization.
