Summary and Outlook: More tests and more expectations

In the first half of the year, the import and export of medical devices in our country continued to improve. The main reasons are as follows: First, the rigid demand in the global medical device market is still expanding; second, with the gradual integration of resources in our country, more and more funds and high-end technologies are applied to medical devices Product R & D and manufacturing, so that China's continuous improvement of the quality of medical devices, products in the international market competitiveness and accreditation gradually increase; Third, Chinese enterprises in the domestic market more competitive environment, will open up market strategy center of gravity to the international market Fourthly, the Chinese government has continuously increased the support for the industry.

As China's medical device regulatory policy, industrial structure, market mechanism, clinical application and personnel training and other aspects will be continuously improved, continue to optimize the structure of medical device products, product quality continues to increase, business continues to expand the scale of industrial clusters gradually increased.

Under the circumstance of uncertainties in the future of the world economy, changes in the exchange rate of Renminbi, rising labor and raw material costs, and the transfer of some foreign-funded factories to countries and regions such as ASEAN and India which have lower labor costs, the development of the import and export of medical equipment in our country will Face more tests.
