Program Description:
Despite the turmoil brewing over an unfolding trade war, China remains a critical opportunity for pharmaceutical and medical device/IVD technology companies. With a growing middle class and the government dedicated to improving the quality of health care, and billions of dollars in life science innovation, companies willing to invest the time and resources can achieve sales growth in the coming years in the 2nd largest and fastest growing life science market in the world.
China has 5 times the U.S. population with extremely concentrated care. For instance, in the case of annual outpatient visits, China 1st Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University has 100 million annual outpatient visits, nearly 70x that of Massachusetts General Hospital’s 1.5 million annual outpatient visits. Government policies, aging population, unique demographics, hunger for western life science technology, new EU MDR challenges …. many factors making China an attractive first stop for market entry.
