China's Medical Device Industry is Ushering in a Rare Policy-intensive Promotional Period; Policy Boosts Medical Device Localization Process

In December 2016, in order to encourage medical device study and innovation and promote the practice of new medical device technology, CFDA published "Guidelines for the Preparation of Special Reports on the Application of Innovative Medical Devices". China has been working on a medical device localization process, especially in the high-performance medical device area, which will boost the development of the Chinese medical device industry.

The Medical device industry represents a massive market in China based on the needs generated by the government's policy orientation and the replacement of medical devices at domestic health care organizations. Case-in-point: in developed overseas markets medical devices and equipment account for 42% of the overall market size of pharmaceuticals and devices/equipment combined whereas in the local Chinese market the share of medical devices and equipment is just 14%; there is thus huge potential to raise the share of locally-made devices. China's medical device sales volume increased from 120 billion yuan to 308 billion yuan between 2010 and 2015, while an average annual growth rate of more than 20% is expected. This will see China's medical device sales volume reach about 600 billion yuan in 2019.
