China Had an Annual Growth Rate of 15% to 18% in its Sales of Medical Apparatus in the Past Ten Years

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c91266) has announced the
addition of "China Anesthesia Apparatus Market Report, 2008" to their
offering.

   China had an annual growth rate of 15% to 18% in its sales of
medical apparatus in the past ten years. In 2005, China's total sales
of medical apparatus exceeded CNY73 billion. In 2006, the total profit
of the entire China's medical machinery industry rose 30.5% year on
year, a lot faster than the average growth rate of China's
pharmaceutical industry. It is forecast that the total output value of
China's medical apparatus industry will reach CNY150 billion in 2010.

   Anesthesia apparatus is a high-tech product in China's medical
apparatus industry over years. The Chinese government is vigorously
restructuring its medical and health institutions and is putting
forward more and stricter requirements on health development plan.
Anesthesia apparatus is essential facilities for rescue and operation
in the hospitals. China's homemade anesthesia apparatus has an
advantage in price compared to others made in Europe and the United
States of America.

   Except imported equipment, the left market is shared equally by
three to four domestic manufacturers. The prices of homemade
anesthesia apparatus range from CNY30,000 to CNY100,000, while the
lowest price of imported equipment is more than CNY100,000 and the
highest price could exceed CNY400,000. Presently the key domestic
manufacturers include such companies as Beijing Aerospace Changfeng
Co., Ltd, Wuxi Zhongyuan Medical Apparatus Co., Ltd and Jiangsu Kaitai
Medical Apparatus Co., Ltd etc.

   China's current annual demand for anesthesia apparatus is about
5,000 sets, of which 3,000 sets are low-end products, provided mainly
by domestic manufacturers, and 2,000 sets are middle or high-end
products, of which 80 percent are sourced from overseas market.
China's high-end anesthesia apparatuses market is almost monopolized
by imports. The price of high-end anesthesia apparatuses range from
CNY600,000 to CNY1.5 million, therefore, China has to spend US$30
million in importing middle- and high-end anesthesia apparatus each
year.

   The 21st century is a rapid development period of global medical
apparatus. With quickening pace of China's reform and opening up and
sustained improvement in people's living standard and life quality,
people have put forward higher requirements for medical and health
services. Great progress China made in reforming its medical system is
bound to boost the rapid growth of medical apparatus market,
demonstrating that China has a huge medical market and great
development potential.
