Rapid development of medical devices, automation companies should dig deep into the market

The medical device industry is a multi-disciplinary, knowledge-intensive, capital-intensive high-tech industry. It is one of the fastest growing and most active trades in the world today. The total output value of China's medical device industry has maintained rapid growth since the 1990s, and the average growth rate has remained at 12%-15%. According to the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” of the medical device industry, the total output value of China's medical device industry will reach 100 billion yuan in 2010.

Global medical device industry analysis

Since the beginning of the new century, the global medical device export market has continued to expand, even in the case of financial crisis, it reached 170.477 billion US dollars from January to November 2009. It is understood that in 2007, the global medical device market capacity reached 300 billion US dollars, trade circulation is about 340 billion US dollars, import trade volume is about 170 billion US dollars, the average market growth rate is 7%, the market space is huge.

Affected by the economic crisis, EU import demand fell by 4 percentage points in 2009. Its main import countries are the United States, Switzerland, China, Japan and other countries, of which China accounted for 8.35% of the market, an increase of 2.1%. The rest of the country has declined.

As the world's second largest import market, US demand fell by 5 percentage points, reaching only $27.185 billion in 2009. Due to the fragmentation of the country's market and the failure to form a single country, Mexico, Ireland, Germany, China, Japan and other countries occupy the main market, accounting for 60% of the import market. China is the fourth largest import trading partner of the United States, with a market share of 9%. In 2009, imports from China increased by 5%.

In 2009, Japan’s import demand was basically flat, down 0.59%, and the United States occupied a major market with a share of 36%. China is the third largest trading partner, with imports from China increasing by 7.26% and market share reaching 9%.

The data shows that Europe, the United States, and Japan are the three largest medical device markets in the world. China's market share accounts for 7%, with an average annual growth rate of 18%. It has a strong domestic demand market and a fast-growing export market, making it the country with the most growth potential. In 2009, it has reached 22,666, with exports reaching US$12.24 billion. Cao Gang, deputy director of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Medicines and Health Products, said that in the future, the correlation between China's medical device industry and the international market will be higher and higher.

Statistics show that in January 2010, China's medical device exports amounted to 954.809 million US dollars, an increase of 10.73% year-on-year, a record high.

China's medical equipment industry status

China's medical device industry has grown rapidly from small to large, and has now become a sunrise industry with a relatively complete product category, increasing innovation capabilities and strong market demand. Especially in recent years, the development speed of the medical device industry has further accelerated. Not only has the output value maintained double-digit growth for many years, but the quantity and technological content of product exports have also been continuously improved.

With the accelerated transfer of international industries, China will become an important production base for medical devices worldwide. Some of the instruments and equipment that originally relied on imports are gradually becoming domestically replaced. At the same time, many provinces and cities in China have taken the medical device industry as a new economic growth point and are cultivating them. Experts pointed out that in the next 10 to 15 years, China's medical device industry will enter a stage of rapid development.

According to the latest data from relevant departments, in 2009, the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Bay industrial clusters led the development of the industry, with Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Beijing, Shandong, Liaoning, Hubei and Tianjin. Ten exports, of which Guangdong Province's exports reached 28.82, accounting for 23.54%, ranking top.

At the same time, we must also see that domestic high-end medical equipment has basically been firmly occupied by the products of multinational companies. The development of China's medical device industry is weak, medical equipment supervision started late, and medical equipment enterprises are small, multi, scattered and low. The phenomenon of competition has not yet been fundamentally changed. It has become a top priority to accelerate the improvement of the technological innovation capability of China's medical device industry and strengthen the combination of production, learning and research in medical device research and development. How to avoid the vicious price war, to exert its inherent advantages, and to enhance competitiveness are the problems that many manufacturers think.

Automation business opportunities are unlimited

The rapid development of the medical device industry has brought many opportunities to other related industries. Among these many opportunities, automation companies have a greater chance of entry. More and more medical manufacturers are turning their attention to production automation and standardization of production in line with international standards. Recognizing that automation and standardization can be the secret to stand out for enterprises.

At present, the level of automation and informationization of pharmaceutical enterprises in China is uneven. Only a few enterprises have achieved a certain degree of process automation. Most enterprises still stay in the single automation stage of equipment control. The pharmaceutical companies in foreign countries, especially in developed countries, have achieved the level of comprehensive automation. Pharmaceutical companies must maintain a high level of process automation to ensure the safety, reliability and consistency of drug production, and the safety and precision of drug-related information. Integrity, recordable, stored, traceable, and acquired.

Ms. Zhu Wei, Rockwell Automation's pharmaceutical industry manager, said that at the automation level, the life sciences industry (especially chemical pharmaceuticals and bioengineering) is a typical hybrid industry, in which process segments of pre-processing often contain process control. And batch processing, post processing is often mechatronic discrete control and motion control. At the information level, the life sciences industry is a strictly regulated area, and each country has extremely strict regulatory requirements to comply with.

With the automation system, the operator obtains information from the structure of the process; the maintenance worker can find resources from the physical location structure; the control engineer can determine the system working state through the computer system structure. The timely acquisition of information will greatly shorten the decision-making time, ensure the quality, increase the output, increase the efficiency, take the initiative, and enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise.

In order to improve the quality of catheter care, the fixation of various types of catheters plays an important role in modern nursing. The SEALCUFF Disposable Drainage Tube Holder has the advantages of non-invasive fixation, relieved patient suffering, firm fixation, less allergic reaction, and reduced nurse workload.
