    According to China report hall: CT, color ultrasound, nuclear magnetic examination equipment, biochemical analyzer At present, imported medical devices "dominate the world" in China At the same time of losing the position of medical market, China is also faced with many hidden dangers, such as huge economic loss, increasing difficulty in breaking the technology monopoly and so on "This is a recognized fact in the industry The number of domestic and imported medical devices is 37%, while the high-end imported medical devices can occupy more than 90% of the market." Xu Shan, deputy director of International Cooperation Department of China Medical Device Industry Association, said According to the statistics of China Chamber of Commerce for the import and export of medical and health products, in 2012, China's medical device imports amounted to US $12.472 billion, an increase of 14.56% year on year Among them, the import volume of 31 varieties reached US $billion, mainly high value-added products Related medical device research report 2013-2017 prediction report on development and investment prospect of China's medical device industry 2012-2017 analysis report on in-depth research and investment strategic planning of China's medical device industry 2013-2017 market analysis and investment prospect prediction report of China's special medical device industry 2013-2017 market analysis and investment prospect prediction report 2013-20 In the past 18 years, China's implanted medical devices industry development status and investment prospect forecast analysis report more medical industry analysts reported that Shanxi Province is not only in provincial hospitals, municipal hospitals, all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, western hospitals, but also the world of imported medical equipment Even in the vast majority of county-level hospitals in China, medical devices are also labeled with imported "tags" "The share of domestic medical device industry in the global medical device market is less than 3%, which is not in proportion to the huge medical device consumption market in China." A staff member of Shanxi Provincial Food and Drug Administration said that a small number of domestic products with good performance have almost no market in the top three hospitals in China, so they can only take the "low-level route" such as township hospitals China's medical device industry is a new industry, and both production capacity and R & D are far from meeting the market demand, especially the high-end products still rely on imports According to the president of a maternal and child health care hospital in Shanxi Province, the price of an imported CT varies from 2 million yuan to tens of millions yuan depending on the displacement, while the price of a domestic CT can be purchased with more than 1 million yuan Because the technology is far behind the foreign countries, even with a great price advantage, it has not entered the purchasing vision of the hospital In addition to technical reasons, "foreign brands" dominate the world behind the huge kickback In addition to the kickbacks, many multinational companies also let hospital directors travel for free in the name of visiting abroad and attending academic conferences, which also occupied the market space of domestic products It is worrisome that China is facing multiple hidden dangers, such as the loss of huge medical device market revenue and the increasing difficulty of breaking technology monopoly The development potential of China's medical device industry is huge In 2012, the market demand for medical equipment in China continued to grow, and the GDP of medical equipment and device manufacturing industry rose steadily From January to September, China's medical equipment and device manufacturing industry achieved a total industrial output value of 110.3 billion yuan, up 19.5% year on year In addition, due to the inability to break the technological monopoly, from the purchase, maintenance to renewal of products, all the services provided by these import manufacturers are "high price services", and the hospital can only allow the other party to ask for a high price "The purchase fee of a Japanese made nuclear magnetic equipment is more than 14 million yuan, and the maintenance agreement of 800000 yuan needs to be renewed every year If it's not signed, it's OK Once the equipment is broken, the maintenance cost will be more expensive He can charge several thousand yuan for a part of dozens of yuan " According to the head of a hospital in Shanxi Province, these high costs finally fall on patients, aggravating the problem of "expensive medical treatment" Industry insiders believe that under the current national conditions, medical institutions and doctors should recommend appropriate high, medium and low-grade medical devices according to patients' needs At the same time, the proportion of domestic medical equipment inspection and medical insurance reimbursement should be increased In addition, we will increase investment in scientific research, reward R & D talents and technologies, and support domestic products "A few years ago, after a domestic drug stent was put on the market, the price of similar imported products was more than half And the research and development of the drug stent, even in Japan, where the medical device industry is very developed, is still completely dependent on imports " A interviewee from the Shanxi provincial inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that while striving to catch up, we should also see that China's productivity in the field of medical devices is not completely pessimistic, and the key is to develop strengths and avoid weaknesses.
