China’s healthcare and medical device sectors have been growing fast, presenting good business opportunities for EU SMEs. For example, in 2016, China’s total import volume in the healthcare sector, including traditional Chinese medicine, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and equipment, rehabilitation, and dental equipment, was USD 48 billion (approx. EUR 40.8 billion). Medical device sales revenue in China totaled RMB 370 billion (approx. EUR 47.7 billion) in the same year. Increasing market opportunities for SMEs are shown in the areas of dentistry, physical examination, healthcare IT, rehabilitation/elderly services and online shopping. However, challenges remained in these sectors include pricing pressure from the government, stricter compliance requirements, local competition, and legal barriers.
This webinar will provide you with an overall picture of China’s healthcare and medical device sectors. It will introduce you the domestic regulatory framework that formulates the key regulations at national level in both sectors. Most importantly, key opportunities, challenges, and recommendations for EU SMEs will be given.
