Medical Device Manufacturing in China industry analysis

The Medical Device Manufacturing industry is set to generate $42.8 billion in revenue in 2024, up 10.5% from 2023. The industry has a relatively high profit margin, estimated at 10.7% in 2024. Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualized 12.7% over the five years through 2024. This growth has been supported by the increasing purchasing power of hospitals, improvements in living standards and therefore demand for medical diagnoses, technology upgrades in hospitals, requirements for higher quality products and the development of China's western regions. Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly boosted industry revenue. In addition, the increasing number of clinics and demand for upgrading medical devices of domestic medical and health institutions promoted the development of Medical Device Manufacturing in China.
Domestic demand is set to increase by 10.2% in 2024, with imports accounting for an estimated 17.5% share. Hospitals, especially large ones in China's major cities, have significant preferences for foreign diagnostic equipment. However, the level of technology used by the large industry players has improved, driving growth in exports and domestic demand. In 2024, exports are expected to increase by 2.8% to total $6.2 billion, or 14.4% of industry revenue.
Over the next five years, industry revenue is forecast to increase at an annualized 6.0%, to $57.2 billion. The industry is in the growth phase of development, but it will begin to mature over the next five years. New government policies are encouraging patients to procure medicines and pharmaceuticals themselves, rather than from hospitals. As a result, hospitals will have to improve services to retain the same funding. The purchase of medium- and high-end medical devices is expected to improve service and quality in these hospitals. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic will likely further promote the research and development of this industry.
