    Domestic medical equipment forced to cut prices

    From the Ministry of Commerce was informed that the world trade organization to expand the scope of the information technology agreement negotiations to participate in the 24 days in Geneva announced on the product range to reach an agreement to form a list of 201 expansion Wai, including China, including the parties agreed to implement 201 information technology products in 3 years zero tariff. This is the World Trade Organization 18 years to reach the largest tariff reduction agreement, but also the history of medical equipment, the larger scale of the tax cut agreement. Although the "information technology agreement" to many of China's industry to bring good, but for the domestic medical equipment industry may be an exception, the reduction of tariffs may make domestic equipment manufacturers more difficult days.
    Domestic Yixie forced the price
    After the new agreement is reached, including cardiac pacemaker, magnetic resonance imaging equipment, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonic scanning equipment, such as more than 20 medical device products tariff will be canceled. According to foreign media reports, the agreement reached before the medical device in the relevant countries to import tariffs as high as 8%.
    According to the National Bureau of statistics data, from 2001 to 2014, China's medical equipment industry sales volume increased from 17900000000 yuan to about 2020, and in 2013 the success of the second largest medical equipment market in japan. According to a recent report by the General Administration of customs, the Xiamen customs in the 1-4 on the medical equipment imports reached 170000000 yuan, an increase of 34.1%.
    However, China's medical equipment manufacturing industry in a very small number of products have independent patents, and most of them are low-end products, homogenization is very serious, and this makes the enterprises have to compete through price competition to ensure sales. In other words, lower tariffs will make the use of imported equipment in the terminal continues to expand, the result is likely to force domestic equipment prices. And tax cuts, it will be a series of domestic cardiac pacemaker and magnetic resonance imaging devices, such as a series of domestic medical devices, because the price, the doctor will first or will consider the use of imported equipment, although this is a major positive for doctors and patients, but for the country's equipment manufacturers do not have a small blow.
    Foreign giants will feel just like a fish in water
    The development status of China's Yixie industry small and scattered, the lack of high-end brand is the industry's fatal weakness. Although the current China Yixie industry production capacity of up to 3000 billion yuan, and domestic manufacturing accounted for only the 30%, low-end products, low technology, low-end quality is domestic manufacturing to compete with imports of key factors. And in the whole field of Yixie, proportion of output of China medical device products 9:1, and Europe and the United States 1:1 far apart, market potential to be discovered, technical level, manufacturing capacity must be strengthened.
    The relative, high-end Yixie products is heavily dependent on imports, and concentrated in the hands of a few multinational companies: American GE, Siemens of Germany and the Netherlands, Philips and other companies. Domestic high-end equipment products are basically monopolized by foreign companies, domestic manufacturers of products at the low level, China's tariff on imported products is very low, the domestic product export tariffs are not high, the domestic product is mainly exported to Southeast Asia, Africa and other underdeveloped countries and regions.
