Long-termism:

Industry Resilience and Innovation-Driven Growth

Noticed by "Dental Observation," a phenomenon is that many listed companies have more than 20 years of corporate development history. They also represent a vivid history of China's dental capital market.

Among these, there have been fluctuations, slowdowns, increased revenue with decreased profits, or even negative growth, among other varied situations. However, we have also witnessed the resilience of China's dental market. The heightened awareness of oral health among the Chinese population has unleashed tremendous demand, propelling the entire dental industry chain into a phase of remarkable development.

From treatment to the concept innovation of comprehensive oral health management, digital transformation, iteration of product and equipment technology, and diversified demands, China's oral industry is ushering in an opportunity period for high-quality development.

It was also noted that the profits of many listed dental enterprises have started to enter an era of meager profits compared to before. Some emerging innovative companies achieved high-speed dual growth in revenue and profits, with their significantly improved performance becoming a bright spot in China's oral market.
