China's huge and increasingly elderly population, some remotely situated in
rural areas, will be provided with strong healthcare infrastructure, states a
new report by healthcare experts GBI Research.
The rising incidence of chronic and infectious diseases in this vast country
serves to benefit both patients and medical device companies, who may supply
China's government to meet their new healthcare reforms.
The healthcare reform initiative known as ‘Opinions on Deepening the
Health Care System Reform', or the ‘New Health Care Reform Plan', is
being implemented by the Chinese State Council and the Communist Party of
China (CPC) Central Committee, and represents a major driving factor for the
healthcare sector in China. The reforms aim to provide health services for
both the urban and rural population.
Healthcare infrastructure improvements are expected to drive market growth for
both international and domestic companies, due to improved affordability and
accessibility to healthcare services within a growing number of hospitals. New
insurance policies aiming to increase the reimbursement ratio for a number of
diseases will also lead to an expanding patient base.
Chronic diseases go hand in hand with elderly populations and demand
significant medical support. An increasing life expectancy is leading to a
growing incidence of ophthalmic diseases, as the elderly population has a high
percentage of patients suffering from cataracts, with a large number of cases
being added annually. Despite the large patient pool, China displays a low
Cataract Surgery Rate (CSR), due to high costs, limited public awareness, and
a lack of facilities in rural areas. However, the implementation of
government-backed insurance schemes will increase reimbursement for medical
treatment, and a significant demand is expected to be seen for ophthalmic
surgery devices.
Infectious diseases can also become more common in developing countries, as
populations become more urbanized and live in closer quarters to one another.
China's medical devices market is dominated by In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) and
driven by a large patient pool that requires large volumes of tests -
especially amidst rising cases of infectious diseases, which claimed nearly
15,802 lives in 2011. Improving the affordability of IVD products in China
through new healthcare reforms is expected to boost the market.
Rapid urbanization and economic development has also resulted in lifestyle and
nutritional changes, which have caused an increase in the incidence of
conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which require
diagnostic testing and monitoring.
The medical devices market in China is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11%, from $14.3 billion in 2011 to reach $30.4 billion
in 2018.

Press Release
Medical Devices Market in China Forecast to Increase at CAGR of 11% Reaching $30.4 bn in 2018 - Government Reforms Aimed at Strengthening Healthcare System and Expanding Access will Accelerate Growth
November 13th, 2012
Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Medical Devices Market in China to 2018 - Government Reforms Aimed at Strengthening the Healthcare System and Expanding Access will Accelerate Growth" by GBI Research.
The medical devices market in China is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11%, from $14.3 billion in 2011 to reach $30.4 billion in 2018.
A large population with a high percentage of elderly people, the rising incidence of chronic diseases and the countrys improving healthcare infrastructure are major driving factors for the medical devices market in China. Chinas healthcare reforms are focused on improving the countrys healthcare services, with emphasis on improving the rural healthcare system. Improvements in the countrys healthcare infrastructure due to healthcare reforms and stimulus spending are expected to drive the market growth for both international and domestic companies. Growth drivers include factors such as improved affordability and accessibility of healthcare services, and increased demand for medical devices and equipment due to an increase in the number of hospitals. As the new insurance policies aim to increase the reimbursement ratio for a number of diseases, an expanding patient base will result in significant growth opportunities for the medical device manufacturers in the country.
Healthcare Reforms in China: A Major Driving Force behind Chinas Healthcare Sector
The establishment of healthcare reforms through an initiative called Opinions on Deepening the Health Care System Reform, also known as the New Health Care Reform Plan, by the Chinese State Council and the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, is the major driving factor for the healthcare sector in China. The series of initiatives planned by the government were aimed towards providing a health service system for both the urban and rural population. These initiatives work towards addressing the limitations of the market-oriented Chinese economy and strengthening the countrys healthcare system.
These policies are instrumental not only in improving the healthcare system in China, but are also providing huge growth opportunities to medical device companies that expect to utilize the market potential offered by the lucrative Chinese medical devices market.
The Ophthalmic Devices and In Vitro Diagnostics Sectors are the Largest in the Medical Devices Market in China
Chinas medical devices market is dominated by the ophthalmic devices and In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sectors, accounting for a significant market share in the medical devices market in China. Increasing life expectancy and growing incidence of ophthalmic diseases, especially in the elderly population, are major factors driving the demand for ophthalmic devices in China. China has a large population of patients suffering from cataracts, with a large number of cases being added annually. Despite a large patient pool, the country still suffers from a low Cataract Surgery Rate (CSR), due to lack of facilities in the rural areas, limited awareness about cataract surgeries and the high cost of these surgeries. However, with the implementation of the government-backed insurance schemes, and a subsequent increase in the reimbursement ratio (the ratio of the total amount reimbursed) there is expected to be a significant demand for the adoption of ophthalmic surgery devices.
The IVD market in China is driven by a large patient pool that requires large volumes of tests. Improving affordability for both the urban and rural population is expected to accelerate the growth of IVD products in China. Rapid urbanization and economic development has resulted in lifestyle and nutritional changes among the population, leading to an increase in the incidence of conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. There has also been a rise in the cases of infectious diseases, with nearly 15,802 deaths in 2011 due to infectious disease.
