Abstract

China has attracted increasing amounts of foreign investment since it opened its doors to the world and whilst many analysts have focused on foreign investment in popular areas, little has been written about medical device investment. The purpose of this article is to analyze the status of the Chinese medical device market from the perspective of the healthcare industry and its important market drivers; the study reveals that the medical device market has significant growth potential. This article aims to identify and assess the profitable sectors of medical device technologies as a guide for international companies and investors.
