In 2012, China's total medical equipment trade reached US$30.62 billion, an increase of 13.03% year-on-year. Among them, the export value was 17.59 billion US dollars, an increase of 11.96%; the import value was 12.472 billion US dollars, an increase of 14.56%. In 2012, China’s medical device trade exceeded US$30 billion. China's medical device trade ranks third in the world, with global imports ranking fifth in the United States, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. The world's export volume ranks third in the United States and Germany.

Cai Tianzhi, director of the Medical Devices Division of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Medicines and Health Products, told the author that it is expected that China's medical device exports will achieve a 16% growth in 2013, and the import growth rate will remain at 18%. It is expected that China's medical devices will be in 2013. The total trade will be close to $40 billion.

China's medical device trade is gradually improving

Cai Tianzhi said that China's medical device trade is better than other countries. First, because China's comprehensive manufacturing technology has been widely used in high-end medical device products, it has become an important part of China's advanced manufacturing industry, and product quality has been fundamentally guaranteed. Second, China's "science, industry and trade medical policy" resources are further optimized and promoted to make medical equipment products widely used in the new materials and new technologies based on the combination of imitation and innovation. The secondary innovation of products promotes industrial transformation and upgrading; Enterprises follow the international pace to strategically implement the integration of domestic and foreign markets, and the digitalization, intelligence and miniaturization combined with modern technology provide the basic guarantee for intellectual property and brand building for the industry and the follow-up development of the industry.

Since 2009, the relatively rigid demand for medical device products has shown an increasing trend in global medical device trade with changes in human disease spectrum and frequent disasters. According to the forecast of relevant institutions, the annual growth rate of medical equipment trade in the world is maintained at around 8%. According to the analysis of global customs data, the growth of medical equipment trade in the world has been between 8% and 11% in recent years.

According to world customs statistics, in the first half of 2012, the world medical device trade volume was 215.743 billion US dollars, down 3.43% year-on-year. Mainly due to the European debt crisis and the economic slowdown of emerging economies, the world medical device trade has a tendency to fall. China's medical device trade was affected by this increase by 25 percentage points over the same period. In 2006, the top ten countries in the world's medical device trade scale were all developed countries. The total trade volume of these ten countries accounted for 71.08% of the total medical equipment trade in the world. By 2010, the pattern of countries and regions with the top ten trade scales has remained basically unchanged. Only the rankings of countries and regions have been fine-tuned, but the cumulative share of the trade share of the top ten countries has declined slightly.

It is worth noting that China's medical device trade has entered the top ten, ranking seventh, and is the second Asian country except Japan. According to Cai Tianzhi, by the first half of 2012, the cumulative share of the trade share of the top ten countries increased slightly, and the scale of China's medical device trade ranked third with US$ 13.83 billion. The global import volume was 104.879 billion US dollars, of which the import of China was 5.702 billion US dollars, ranking fifth; the global export was 110.914 billion US dollars, of which exports to China was 8.127 billion US dollars, ranking third.

Cai Tianzhi said that China, as an emerging economy, has many gaps compared with developed countries. Mainly because developed countries have long dominated the world medical equipment trade, guiding the formulation of relevant trade policies of various countries, and even leading the quality management of products, market supervision system, market access system, clinical safety evaluation system, and adverse reaction monitoring. System and other series of regulations; developed countries have strong trade status and the country's industrial level and the development of mature medical market; developed countries, especially the development of medical equipment industry in Europe, America and Japan, the first-mover advantage, industrial structure difference and higher medical expenditure The level has promoted the development of medical device trade.

Exports are expected to achieve 16% growth throughout the year

In 2013, in the uncertain world economy and domestic inflationary pressures and weak external demand, coupled with the rising trend of production factors, the rising labor costs of enterprises will result in some international orders to countries with lower labor costs such as ASEAN, India or Regional transfer. For some export trades settled in US dollars and Euros, the RMB exchange rate changes will undoubtedly bring greater losses to them. In the future, the competition and export risks of the industry will be higher, which will make enterprises more willing to change according to exchange rate fluctuations and shipping costs. Adjust export markets and export products. At the same time, some enterprises are more interested in the introduction of foreign advanced technology and new materials, especially the import of irreplaceable products in China is more acceptable. Moreover, if this new product or new technology is used to produce new products, the enterprise can have The ability to continue to grow.

In 2013, with the continuous development of China's economy, foreign trade and market structure will also change. Participation in the global value chain will increase the level of specialization of labor, increase productivity, increase trade dependence, increase commercialization, and strengthen industrial clusters and transformation. Product structure optimization and innovation enhancement. It is foreseeable to make full use of the international division of labor and international trade facilitation to share the benefits of “high quality and competitive price” of China's medical device products. In 2013, exports are expected to achieve 16% growth, and import growth will remain at 18%. In 2013, China's total medical equipment trade will be close to 40 billion US dollars.

For the work process of the Medical Devices Department this year, Cai Tianzhi told the author that the China Medical Device Trade Yearbook compiled by the Medical Insurance Chamber of Commerce is the only large-scale reference book and informational annual publication in the field of medical device trade in China. It has been published two volumes this year. The Yearbook will add industry content based on trade content. In addition, the author understands that the 5th China International Medical Hygiene Materials Conference will also be held in Beijing this year. In this regard, Cai Tianzhi said that he hopes that with this comprehensive platform, enterprises will be encouraged to create brands with quality and promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry and healthy development.
