Why domestic medical equipment is difficult to enter the hospital how to break the monopoly of foreign brands

As a necessary tool and medical means in clinical medicine, medical equipment, like medicines, is an indispensable part of the health care industry. In recent years, China's medical equipment has grown at an average annual rate of more than 20%, far higher than the global average growth rate of 7%. The conventional medical equipment with wide clinical application and large usage has basically achieved localization. However, the technical content is high and the added value. High-end medical equipment has long been monopolized by foreign brands.

The "2014 China Medical Equipment After-sales Service Survey Report" released by "China Medical Equipment" magazine shows that in the high-end medical equipment such as CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear medicine, and angiography machines, it is called "GPS" by the industry. The three multinational companies, Electric î—°GE, Philips î—°Philips, Siemens î—°Siemens, have a market share of more than 80%, while domestic brands are hard to find. Take CT equipment as an example. There is only one domestic brand with more than 1% market share, but the share is only 1.48%. In soft endoscope equipment, almost no domestic brand accounts for more than 1% market share.

   Why is it difficult to enter the hospital for domestic medical equipment?

“There is a lot of reasons for the low market share of domestic medical equipment. One of the important reasons is that domestic hospitals prefer 'imported goods'.” Sun Chen, a veteran of the medical equipment industry and former deputy editor of China Medical Equipment magazine, told reporters that imported medical equipment Starting early, the technology has advantages. Compared with domestic medical equipment, its monitoring and treatment effects are more reliable, which makes many hospitals prefer to import medical equipment.

However, the reporter learned that domestic medical equipment is not trusted by the hospital. In addition to technical factors, there are also interests in the dark. A person in charge of a medical equipment company who asked not to be named told the China Economic Times reporter that the hospital prefers to import medical equipment. First, imported equipment is much higher than domestic equipment, which allows the hospital to obtain more profits. Second, it is responsible for bidding. People who purchase and purchase imported equipment gain personal gain. “The purchase of imported equipment is expensive and the rebate space is large. In addition, many foreign companies or their agents often arrange purchasers to travel abroad in the name of inspection and study.”

Sun Chen believes that medical equipment is a high-tech industry with long development cycle, large investment, and high risk. If the products that domestic enterprises have worked hard to develop cannot be sold, it will not only seriously dampen the innovation enthusiasm of enterprises, but also It will delay the development of advanced medical equipment, a strategic emerging industry. "If the hospital always imports expensive medical equipment, it will not only increase the financial burden of the state, but also increase the medical expenses of patients."

According to Xinhua News Agency, in May last year, when President Xi Jinping inspected medical equipment manufacturers in Shanghai, he pointed out that medical equipment is an essential means for the development of modern medical industry. Now some high-end medical equipment cannot be bought at the grassroots level, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Accelerate the localization of high-end medical equipment, reduce costs, and promote the continuous development of national brand enterprises.

Since then, the signal to promote the localization of medical equipment has been continuously released. In June 2014, the National Health and Family Planning Commission launched the selection of excellent domestic medical equipment. This is the first time that China has made a public selection of domestic medical equipment and formed an excellent product catalog. In August 2014, the National Health and Family Planning Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly held a conference on promoting the development and application of domestic medical equipment in Beijing. It was proposed to vigorously advocate the use of domestic medical equipment by health and family planning institutions, and to promote the application of domestic medical equipment in tertiary hospitals.

New technology revolution competes in the field of medical equipment

In recent years, human beings have made breakthroughs in their understanding of biology, medicine, and clinical aspects, and new medicine has gradually dawned. With the development of modern scientific instruments and rich technical means, human beings have made continuous progress in the fields of molecular biology, cell engineering, tissue engineering, organ transplantation, cognitive science, etc., and have a deeper understanding of health and disease. Greatly promote the development of clinical medicine, but also provide a huge space for the development of medical equipment.

Wang Xiaoqing, secretary general of the Zhongguancun Medical Device Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, believes that at present, the medical equipment field has become the commanding height of high-tech competition. Historically, the latest technology has often been widely used in the field of medical equipment, such as X-ray detection technology, ultrasound imaging technology, etc. Even the most important application of superconducting materials comes from superconducting magnetic resonance imaging systems. magnet. At present, many Internet+ companies are also involved in wearable medical devices. Because medical devices are more sensitive to innovation, today this area has become a strategic highland for innovative countries. "China has listed medical equipment as a strategic emerging industry, and has successively implemented a series of related policies. It is believed that medical equipment can play an important role in the new round of scientific and technological revolution."
