China's medical device export opportunities
On the one hand, the domestic medical device industry foundation develops maturely, domestic
Mid-low end
Market demand tends to saturate and has emerged
Overcapacity
The phenomenon, the blankness of the international medical device market is the vertex of China's
industrial development. On the other hand, China attaches great importance to the credibility of export
products, is committed to ensuring the safety of people around the world with firearms. Compared with
domestic sales, China has a more stringent regulatory system for the export of medical device products,
especially a sound technical training and after-sales service system.

Africa has more than that
1 billion
The total population, but the overall cultural development is slow, customs and habits are poor, the

Hair trend
The African medical device market is promising:
By the end of 2020, Africa had the second largest population in the world, but the continent was lagging
behind in health care, spending less per capita on health, and the rest of the world was spending 10 times
as much on health care as Africa. In the future, with the development of African economy and the improvement
of infrastructure, the vacancy of medical device per capita in this continent will be an indispensable
opportunity for the development of China's medical device industry.
The scale of equipment exports will continue to expand:
China's total trade in medical device exports to Africa will grow at a CAGR of more than 20 in
2017-2019
,With the maturity of the China-Africa Forum and the progress of the Belt and Road Cooperation, it
has been added

with the improvement of the level of economic development of various countries and the emphasis on the level
of national health care, relatively high-priced medical device products such as respiratory, imaging, and
monitoring will gradually enter the export african market.
