More than 80% of them are small and medium enterprises, and the enterprises are generally small in scale. , There are problems such as insufficient R&D investment and weak technical capabilities. “Although there are a large number of companies, such companies have fierce competition and low profitability, so they can only produce low-end products or provide spare parts for foreign companies.” The person in charge of the association said that the current medical device market, low-end Products accounted for 65%-70%, far higher than the global level of 45%.
