Analysis on the status quo and development of China's endoscope industry
Medical endoscopy has been more than 200 years old, influenced by the level of science and technology. In recent years, the promotion and popularization of minimally invasive surgery technology in the world has promoted the development of minimally invasive medical devices. Representative.
Medical industry needs
Endoscopes can be easily divided into rigid endoscopes and soft endoscopes. The rapid development of soft endoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology also promotes its products to the Department of Gastroenterology, Respiratory Medicine, Otolaryngology, Urology, Anorectal Surgery, Thoracic surgery, gynecology and other departments, from simple disease screening to complex treatment of achalasia, bring patients timely and accurate diagnosis, low risk, small surgical trauma and quick recovery after surgery, but by the economy Due to factors such as development and knowledge popularization, the current rate of soft endoscopy is low.
Taking the development of digestive endoscopy as an example, according to the "Status of Development of Digestive Endoscopy in China" (Chinese Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, Vol. 32, August 2015):
1) 2012 health statistics summary data There are 2,1979 hospitals nationwide, but only 6,128 hospitals carry out digestive endoscopy, the development rate is only 27.88%, and among the 6128 hospitals, 84.55% are hospitals above the second level. The rate of primary hospitals is only 15%, and there is a lot of room for basic gastroscope and colonoscopy services in primary hospitals;
2) Compared with other countries:
Regardless of the rate of endoscopy or colonoscopy, the gap between China's 2012 and developed countries, especially the United States, is very large. With the improvement of national health awareness, the national health system is improved and the health level is improved. The development rate will be greatly improved.

As of 2012, the Health Planning Commission has organized more than 400 “endoscopy and minimally invasive medical training bases†for professional skills training and assessment of endoscopic physicians, strengthened the construction of physicians' talent team, and improved the level of clinical application. Hospitals for minimally invasive medical treatment under endoscopy are also steadily increasing.
Development of flexible endoscope technology
The endoscopic minimally invasive medical device industry is mainly driven by the development of medical technology. Due to the late development of domestic endoscopic minimally invasive medical technology, the industrialization process of the industry as a whole lags behind that of developed countries and is an emerging industry in China. Japanese endoscope manufacturers, represented by Japan's Olympus, Fujifilm, and Pentax, dominate the world's soft endoscope market and also occupy a major share of the Chinese market.
