At the conference, QuantumTec Medical engaged with attendees in discussions on “global expansion” and “primary healthcare,” aiming to contribute unique “QuantumTec wisdom” to the development of global healthcare.

Amid the trend of globalization, going global has become an inevitable path for Chinese medical device companies.

According to statistical data from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Medicines and Health Products, China's total import and export trade volume of medical devices reached $97.479 billion in 2022, with exports accounting for $59.549 billion. Meanwhile, the structure of China's exported medical device products has been continuously optimized, with high-end devices such as 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, neurointerventional stents, and surgical robots increasingly entering international markets, thereby achieving the reverse export of indigenous Chinese technologies. Domestic medical device manufacturers are shifting their overseas expansion strategies from price competition to value-based competition.

Countries and regions along the “Belt and Road” are key markets for China’s medical device exports, and the China-Hospeq 2023 conference also focused its discussions on innovative development under the “Belt and Road” Initiative.In 2022, China's medical device exports to countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" reached $14.5 billion., accounting for 24.3% of the total export value. Among them, Vietnam's export value increased by 28.54% year-on-year, and Singapore's export value increased by 67.69% year-on-year.

“The Belt and Road” countries have large populations, many of which are developing nations with underdeveloped medical conditions and enormous clinical demands.Meanwhile, China has been vigorously advancing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Multiple policy documents, including the Guiding Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development of Trade and the 14th Five-Year Plan for High-Quality Development of Foreign Trade, encourage trade cooperation under the BRI. Medical device companies can benefit from preferential tariffs among participating countries and government financial support, thereby safeguarding their global expansion.

Meanwhile, to meet the varying market access standards and quality requirements of countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, companies must continuously strengthen their international teams, enhance their understanding of local laws, regulations, and cultures, and consistently improve production technologies and product quality to offer more cost-effective solutions. Additionally, by collaborating with leading overseas hospitals, they can establish robust market channels and increase brand visibility.
