Medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, appliances, materials or other items that are used alone or in combination on the human body. The medical device industry involves many industries such as medicine, machinery, electronics, and plastics. It is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive, and capital-intensive high-tech industry.
Relevant experts said: The medical device market is one of the fastest-growing markets in China's economy today, and its industry growth is better than that of the pharmaceutical market. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, it will maintain a compound growth rate of 20%-30%, and invest in the construction of the government's medical system.
