Innovation and Intelligence in China's Medical Device Industry: Enhanced Role of Engineering Disciplines and Industrial Support
According to the 2024 China Medical Device Industry Development Research Report (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") released in November 2024, revenue of Chinese medical device manufacturers grew from 553.2 billion yuan in previous years to 1,311 billion yuan in 2023, achieving a CAGR of 10%. China has become the world's second-largest market, only second to the United States.
While steadily increasing in scale, China is making breakthroughs in key areas, with medical devices gradually shifting towards high-end domestic production and industrialization. In 2023, the scale of China's high-end medical device industry surpassed 900 billion yuan, marking a 12.3% YoY growth and sustaining its rapid expansion. However, the industry remains characterized "Big but not strong", by a concentration in low-end products, with high-end medical devices still largely dependent on imports. With the aging of the population, the demand for medical device innovation is becoming increasingly urgent.
Meanwhile, the role of engineering disciplines in promoting innovation and intelligence of medical devices, as well as their support in high-precision processing technology and new material R&D for upgrading the entire industrial system, cannot be overlooked. As of December 2024, China's medical device industry market size will exceed 1.2 trillion yuan, marking a YoY growth of about 2.2%. The trend for medical device and industrial enterprises to transform into composite enterprises has arrived.
The 2025 Medtec further integrates resources, bringing together thousands of medical engineering enterprises in two pavilions
As the annual gathering place for medical device manufacturers to release new equipment, technologies, materials, and trends, Medtec 2025 will continue using Hall 1 (Medical Manufacting Service & Equipment Pavilion) and Hall 2 (Medical Meterials & Core Components Pavilion) at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Additionally, Medtec will further consolidate and subdivide the current exhibit categories in 2025, covering medical-engineering categories, as well as medical device industrial supply chain categories, aiming to provide a better platform for industry brand and product displays.
