China Industry Status and Development of the endoscope

First, the medical industry needs
Medical Endoscopy So far 200 years of history, by the impact of science and technology in recent years, minimally invasive surgical techniques in the worldwide promotion and popularization, and promote the development of minimally invasive medical devices, endoscopic minimally invasive medical devices in one of the most representative.
Endoscope can be simply divided into rigid endoscopes and flexible endoscope, flexible endoscope diagnosis and rapid development of technology will also promote their products to gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, otolaryngology, urology, Anorectal, a plurality of sections of thoracic surgery, gynecology, etc., from simple to complex disease screening achalasia treatment, to bring timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients, the risk is low, small surgical trauma and postoperative recovery and rapid benefits, but by the economic development, literacy and other factors, the current low rate flexible endoscope to carry out.
To digest the development of endoscopy, for example, according to "China digestive endoscopy Development Status" (Journal of Digestive Endoscopy August 2015 Vol. 32) reports:

1) 2012 Health Statistics data feed total of 21,979 hospitals, but only 6128 hospitals Digestive Endoscopy carry rate was 27.88%, while in 6128 this hospital, the hospital is 84.55 percent more than two hospitals, basic hospital rate was 15%, common space primary hospital endoscopy and colonoscopy great service;

2) compared to other countries:

Whether it is to carry out gastroscopy or colonoscopy rate, China in 2012 compared with developed countries, especially the United States in 2009 to carry out rate, gaps are very large, with the enhancement of national health awareness, improve the national health system, improve the level of health to carry out rate will have improved significantly.
As of 2012, Wei Planning Commission has organized the establishment of "Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Medicine training base" more than 400 for the endoscopist professional skills training and assessment, strengthen the physician of qualified personnel, improve the clinical application level, to carry out hospital endoscopic minimally invasive treatment project has been steadily increasing.

Second, the development of flexible endoscopy
Endoscopic minimally invasive medical device industry, mainly due to the development of medical technology level and promote, the domestic endoscopic minimally invasive medical technology development late, so the industrialization process of the industry as a whole lags behind the developed countries, in our country is an emerging industry. Japan Olympus (Olympus), Fuji (Fujifilm), Pentax (Pentax), represented by the Japanese endoscope manufacturers in the world market dominated by flexible endoscope, also occupy a major share of the Chinese market.

A small number of leading companies, such as Shanghai, Macao and China Optical Endoscope Co., Ltd., and imported brands compete with the strength of a small gap product quality and international well-known enterprises, has gradually entered the high-end market. New product development speed - upcoming market the world's first AQ-200 lumen endoscopic system with full HD endoscopy, laser transmission, wireless power supply, dual simultaneous display endoscopic high-tech, the design also won " Chinese good design Award "and the German" red dot Award "and other industrial design awards. The company has also recently into the field of endoscopy supplies through elite strategic cooperation with Hangzhou Fuyang, became the first while providing endoscopic and microscopic equipment supplies business, accelerate Sino endoscopic overall solution. Domestic brands of minimally invasive endoscopic medical devices accounted for about 25% market share. I believe the domestic medical equipment with a high initial cost advantage can be realized in some areas of import substitution, and gradually occupy a certain overseas markets.

Third, the endoscope industrial scale
1) the international market:
Endoscopic minimally invasive medical device is a minimally invasive medical device market is an important part of the 2011 global demand for minimally invasive endoscopic medical device market is about $ 6.1 billion (soft and hard endoscopic), by the end of 2016 is expected to reach $ 9.7 billion, a CAGR of 9.72%. North America is the largest regional demand endoscopic minimally invasive medical devices, the market demand in 2011 of about $ 2.5 billion, is expected in 2017 will grow to $ 4.3 billion, the annual compound growth rate of about 8.9%; followed by North America, Europe and Japan region is the world endoscopic minimally invasive medical devices primarily regional demand; from 2012 to the end of 2016, market demand in developing Asia is expected compound annual growth rate of 14%, while in emerging markets like China and India, with the government health health spending increased to improve the health care system reform and minimally invasive treatment for patients with consciousness, it is expected to remain higher demand growth.
