CHINA --- Land of opportunity for medical device suppliers:
l The Chinese market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at US$2.6 billion in 2005. This market continues to boom, with continued investment from overseas along with substantial domestic production. Imports have grown rapidly in recent years, breaching the US$2 billion in 2003, dominated by expensive high-end products, over half the import total comprising X-ray apparatus and electro medical equipment. Imports account for 85%-90% of the market.
l A large and aging population, rising living standards and expectations of healthcare provision together with the current low penetration of medical device combine to make China a huge and attractive import market.
l Chinese Government initiatives aimed at creating a better operating environment are making China more conductive to overseas suppliers.
