Mergers and Acquisitions in the Field of Medical Devices Surpassed 8.3 billion Yuan

According to an authoritative department, the demand for medical devices in China will continue to rise in the next five years. The annual market size of medical equipment in China can reach 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion yuan. Experts predict that by 2005, the market capacity of medical devices in China will reach 50 billion yuan to 55 billion yuan.

According to a report released by the Zero2IPO Research Center on the 13th, from January to October 2012, there were 9 cases of mergers and acquisitions disclosed in the field of medical devices in China, and the disclosure of M&A transactions amounted to RMB 8.37 billion.

According to statistics of Qingpai, in 2011, a total of 5 cases of mergers and acquisitions were disclosed in the field of medical devices in China, and the amount of disclosed mergers and acquisitions involved RMB 9.64 billion. No matter the number of cases or the size of funds, there was a significant increase compared to 2009 and 2010.

In the first 10 months of 2012, although the size of M&A transaction funds disclosed in the medical device industry declined slightly, the number of M&A cases increased by 200% compared with the same period of last year. This also reflects from another aspect that the M&A market in China's medical device related fields still maintains a high degree of activity.

Tian Siyu of Zero2IPO Research Center stated that in recent years, the overall level of China's medical equipment has achieved certain development under the active promotion of various factors such as national finance, and the market space in related fields has also benefited from the support of policies and became more and more extensive. The increase in medical insurance coverage, social aging, and increase in the popularity of medical devices have stimulated the demand volume, which is a rare opportunity for Chinese medical equipment and equipment companies, and has even attracted many foreign related companies to accelerate this area.

However, although the current domestic self-development power has increased from a few years ago, it has encountered many difficulties. It has been difficult to design a new product platform by relying solely on the development model of domestic power alone. In the face of China’s rapidly growing large-scale domestic market, if China’s medical device companies do not develop products with independent intellectual property rights, do not improve their independent innovation capabilities, and rely too much on foreign technologies, this may lead to long-term consolidation of local industries in the international division of labor in low-tech, Low value-added links. In the process of economic globalization, the answers to questions such as “how to achieve independent development” and “necessity for independent development” in China's medical device industry have become more and more clear.
