Regarding the medical device industry, CITIC Securities released a research report stating that as the competitiveness of domestic medical device companies improves, the sector’s growth drivers have gradually shifted from substitution and penetration rate increases to internationalization and technological innovation, leading to a revaluation. The international market offers broader opportunities, with many device companies experiencing high growth overseas, and international operations are expected to surpass domestic ones. The medical device industry is characterized by incremental innovation, with some Chinese medical device products transitioning from imitation to global leadership, gradually gaining international recognition. Mergers and acquisitions are a key growth path for global industry leaders, and the sector is expected to witness increasing M&A activity. After four years of continuous decline, the medical device sector rebounded this year. With optimized centralized procurement policies, improving equipment bidding data, and declining channel inventories, the sector is expected to reach an inflection point in performance from the second half of this year into next year.
