Imaging equipment localization: this is the first shot

2021-09-10 12:03

"CT, ultrasound, DR and other equipment 80%, even 90% are monopolized by multinational companies. And GPS three alone occupy more than 70 percent of the share." Ten years later, this pattern has still not been broken, and because of the technology monopoly, multinational companies have considerable control over product pricing.


The development of the medical equipment industry is about people's livelihood, to promote the development of China's medical equipment industry, to accelerate the domestic alternative, to protect people's livelihood, to protect national health is of great significance. Therefore, how to create high-quality products, create artisan products, to create high-tech high-performance domestic manufacturing equipment is particularly important.


DR field is a miracle, in just a few years, the first from the image monopoly market to highlight the siege, the full realization of domestic substitution, whether upstream or downstream supply chain enterprise development are more mature, almost from the detector, high pressure to the bulb have the corresponding equipment providers.

Imaging equipment localization: DR fired the first shot

In the past 20 years, China's medical device market has been fully interfaced with the world, and Chinese companies are developing rapidly and catching up fast. However, due to the short development time of domestic medical equipment manufacturers, most of them are still in the growth period, so compared with imported manufacturers, there are still many areas where domestic manufacturers are not mature enough, such as in high-end technology, materials, quality control, marketing and service system.
Promoting the localization of medical devices is not only a matter of the medical industry, but also related to the revitalization of the national real economy and the protection of national information security. In the last five years, the growth rate of China's medical device market size is much higher than the international level, and the growth rate is always maintained at more than 15%, which is 10 percentage points higher than the global medical device market. The characteristics of better territorial service, high cost performance and policy support guidance have helped domestic enterprises to gradually develop certain advantages.
of better territorial service, high cost performance and policy support guidance have helped domestic enterprises to gradually develop certain advantages. advantages.

Domestic import substitution, the trend, whether from cardiac stents, monitors, biochemical diagnosis, DR, pleura, heart blocker, color ultrasound, endoscopy, chemiluminescence, blood cell analysis or CT, MRI, and even high-end PET system, there are a large number of domestic equipment figure. If we say that these medical equipment, what equipment has almost fully achieved the replacement of imports? The domestic DR market has passed the early stage and entered the mature stage, with a large number of domestic manufacturers in the market. As of 2019, China's DR market has achieved more than 70% share and continues to grow at a rapid pace.

In domestic hospitals, DR has become the most commonly used radiology examination tools, playing an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, compared to CT and MRI under the expensive examination costs, DR is very popular, according to the medical recruitment statistics released data, involving 31 provinces, autonomous regions, 16 types of medical institutions 5676 units; brand manufacturers 80; procurement quantity 11426 units / sets.

Domestic alternative windfall, who will be the next anchor point?

Medical equipment category, a national brand like a mushrooming, which first had to be attributed to nearly ten years of domestic alternative policy wind, through the 2011 ~ 2021 decade to support the development of localization policy, a number of national ministries and commissions for the development of the medical and health care industry to develop a series of policies, projects and initiatives to promote the development of medical equipment, medical equipment industry, localization, so that the national manufacturing equipment industry The development of gradually strong, domestic device replacement market ushered in a decade of golden development.

  2011 ~ 2021 national support for the development of localization policy summary
In December 2011, the Ministry of Science and Technology formulated the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for the medical device industry, clarifying the technical route for the development of key products such as superconducting nuclear magnetic, multi-row spiral CT, high-performance color ultrasound, etc., in order to change the situation of China's high-end product import dependence, poor reliability and weak capacity for independent innovation, and focus on breaking through the bottleneck of high-end equipment and A year later, the "Medical Device Key Special Project" was launched, focusing on the layout of digital X-ray machines, color ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, PET-CT and other major strategic product development to support and promote the development of domestic medical imaging equipment industry.
In order to accelerate the popularization of these innovative medical equipment products, at the policy level, the national and local governments continue to promote "import substitution", and in 2011, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health jointly launched the "Ten Hundred Million Project" for domestic innovative medical equipment in 10 provinces (cities). ". In 2011, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health jointly launched the "Ten Million Innovative Medical Devices Project" with the governments of 10 provinces (counties) to select 1,000 pilot medical institutions within 100 districts (counties) in 10 provinces and cities and apply more than 10,000 innovative medical devices, which provides a very favorable competitive environment for domestic device manufacturers.
Since 2014, the former National Health Planning Commission entrusted the China Medical Equipment Association to organize the selection of excellent domestic equipment and establish a directory of excellent domestic medical equipment, which has now been announced to the 6th batch of selection results, with a total of more than 1,000 domestic medical equipment selected, strongly improving the quality of medical equipment manufacturing and promoting the vigorous development of the domestic medical market.
In May 2015, the State Council "Made in China 2025" will focus on the development of high-performance medical equipment as one of the top ten areas, the organization and implementation of a number of innovation and industrialization, including high-end medical equipment, major projects, and clearly by 2025, the relevant areas of independent intellectual property rights of high-end equipment market share increased significantly, to accelerate the transformation of China's medical device field of localization and innovation.
In March of the same year, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the "digital medical equipment key special implementation plan (draft for comment)", to make key deployments of domestic digital medical equipment, with a new magnetic resonance imaging system, new computer tomography, large radiotherapy equipment, surgical robots and other ten major strategic products as the focus, to strengthen the core components and key technology research, breakthroughs in a number of leading-edge technology, to promote medical equipment The development of "digitalization, networking and intelligence" in the medical device industry.
