With the development of technology and the progress of the times, all walks of life are slowly developing, the medical industry has become very competitive, and the use of ECG monitors has become very widespread.
First, the industry has relatively high technical barriers. ECG monitor equipment is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive, capital-intensive high-tech industry. The basic fields involve electronic technology, computer technology, sensor technology, signal processing technology, biochemistry, clinical medicine, precision machinery, optics, automatic control, Fluid mechanics and other aspects. The ECG monitor equipment industry combines traditional industry with biomedical engineering, electronic information technology, and modern medical imaging technology. It combines various high-tech achievements and has high technical barriers. Therefore, domestic companies with independent R&D and production capabilities There are fewer companies.
The second is the large capital investment. The electrocardiogram monitor equipment has high requirements for processing and inspection equipment and technology, and the initial one-time investment is relatively large. In addition, the technical content of ECG monitor equipment is relatively high, and the product development cycle is long. From R&D project approval to product launch, it needs to go through the steps of design, trial production, testing, clinical trials, registration and approval, and it usually takes 3 to 5 years. At present, the ECG monitoring equipment industry is in a period of rapid development. New product research and development is the pillar of enterprise development, and it also requires continuous and high R&D investment.
The third is the high degree of market concentration. The ECG monitor equipment industry has high barriers and requires a large amount of capital and technical personnel to develop and promote products. Foreign-funded enterprises and domestic large-scale enterprises have occupied a relatively high market share in my country’s ECG monitor equipment market with their strong capital strength, rich medical device product categories and extensive sales channels. Among them, Philips, Mindray, and General Electric occupy a relatively high market share. With a market share of more than 60%, the market concentration is relatively high.
