CHANGZHOU, China, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Faced with fast economy and population growth, an aging population, and a rising public health awareness, China's medical device industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, and the markets with the largest demands have been Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other first-tier cities.
However, the entry of a large number of medical device companies in a short time makes these "high-end" markets in first-tier cities increasingly saturated. How do medical device enterprises look for wider markets for their further growth? With the introduction of new medical reform policies, China's National Health and Family Planning Commission and National Development and Reform Commission will invest RMB100 billion in supporting primary healthcare institutions; the medical device industry will thus usher in an era of explosive growth in primary healthcare market.
Jiangsu Province has 31,000+ healthcare institutions, and its number of hospitals ranks second in China; its annual healthcare expenditure reached RMB154.3 billion, ranking third in the country. With a solid industrial base, it is China's most important hub for the medical device industry. Its favorable investment environment and market order make it a No. 1 choice for medical device brands from home and abroad who seek to invest and build their presence. The fast expanding demands in Jiangsu's medical device market is opening up wider market space for domestic and foreign enterprises. However, a special, efficient trade platform has long been lacking in Jiangsu to match its significant position and huge demands in medical device market.
With the promotion efforts of Jiangsu Provincial Government, Jiangsu International Medical Technology Expo 2015 (MEDITEXPO Jiangsu 2015) will be held at the West Taihu Lake International Expo Center on September 24-26, 2015.
