Abstract
The health awareness of the Chinese public is gradually increasing. The aging population presents more opportunities for the medical device market, especially for home medical devices, which is a huge market. Developed countries have made significant progress in this area, while China is only just starting out. This market is rapidly emerging, and its scale will continue to expand in the future, making it worthwhile for more companies to explore deeply.
In fact, China's home medical device market has not been well-developed. The medical awareness of the domestic population has only improved in recent years; previously, this market was dormant. Now, however, it is beginning to rise. It is predicted that the market share of home medical devices in China could reach over 100 billion yuan. In 2011, the market size was only US\$14.6 billion, reaching US\$16.7 billion by the end of the year. Although there was some growth, there is still a large gap from the 100 billion yuan scale. The current market situation in China is only in the initial stage, and the development potential is still very large.
Industry insiders say that the public's health awareness is improving, and the aging population is also creating opportunities for industry development. In the future, home healthcare will become an important aspect of health management, so the demand for home medical devices will continue to increase. Currently, there is a huge demand for medical devices such as auxiliary treatment devices, monitoring equipment, and telemetry devices. As a country with a large number of chronic diseases, China urgently needs to put family health management for patients on the agenda. For example, blood pressure monitors used by hypertensive patients and blood glucose meters used by diabetic patients will become standard medical devices in patient homes, so the market prospects for these products are increasingly broad.
The head of a domestic hearing aid manufacturing company said that China's home medical device market is gradually increasing in volume. For example, the current sales of hearing aids in the market are only more than 3 billion yuan, less than half of the US market. However, the number of people in China who need hearing aids far exceeds that of the United States. The total number of elderly people in China exceeds the total population of the United States, and they are the main consumers of hearing aids. With the further intensification of population aging, China is expected to become the world's largest hearing aid market. Currently, product sales are beginning to increase, and even emerging channels like the internet are beginning to help with product sales. This industry is expected to enter a period of rapid development.
