The medical device industry involves many industries, such as medicine, machinery, electronics, plastics and so on. It is a multi-disciplinary, knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive high-tech industry. The basic characteristics of high-tech medical equipment are digitalization and computerization, which is the crystallization of modern high-tech in many disciplines and fields. Its products have high technical content and high profit, which is the commanding height of competition between major scientific and technological countries and international big companies, and the entry threshold is high. Even in the sub-sectors with low gross profit margin and low input, high-tech products will continue to emerge, from which some enterprises with strong profitability will be bred. Therefore, the overall trend of the industry is high investment and high income.

Medical imaging equipment is an indispensable part of hospital medical equipment and an important embodiment of hospital comprehensive strength, which not only provides an important guarantee for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also provides an important platform for clinical scientific research. As a comprehensive platform, imaging equipment plays an important role in promoting the development of hospitals.
With the development of China's medical industry and the upgrading of some hospital equipment, the market demand for medical imaging diagnostic equipment in China has increased rapidly in recent years, which objectively promoted the development of China's medical imaging diagnostic equipment industry. In the process of rapid development, some enterprises have grown and formed certain competitiveness, and the market share of domestic medical imaging diagnostic equipment has increased.
As an important part of the pharmaceutical industry, medical devices are second only to the standards used by doctors to judge medical institutions for consumers.
The medical device industry is a multi-disciplinary, knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive high-tech industry with high entry threshold. The overall level of medical equipment in medical institutions in China is still very low. About 15% of the medical instruments and equipment in primary medical and health institutions in China are products around the 1970s, and 60% are products before the mid-1980s. Their upgrading process is also a process of demand release, which will ensure the rapid growth of the medical device market in China in the future 10 or even longer.
