With the wide application of medical endoscopes in medical diagnosis and treatment, precision miniaturization, integration and customization, and the characteristics of disposable endoscopes will become the future development trend of the industry. The trend of precision miniaturization of medical devices has also brought huge challenges and opportunities to R&D, processing and manufacturing.
With the deepening of the world’s aging trend and increasingly serious environmental problems, the incidence of diseases such as the digestive tract and respiratory tract continues to increase, and the demand for endoscopes is also increasing. Endoscope technology has received widespread attention from the medical community because of its high accuracy in diagnosis and treatment, small trauma, low infection, quick recovery after surgery, and almost no scars. It is also one of the fastest growing products in the global medical device industry. Currently, about 90% of medical institutions in China have carried out endoscopic minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment projects. Departments such as surgery and gynecology have been widely promoted and applied.
my country's medical endoscope companies are mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, and this industry has huge growth potential. However, due to the late start of the domestic endoscope industry, compared with foreign manufacturers, domestic endoscope manufacturers still have a large gap in the research and development of core technologies and key equipment. The products are concentrated at the low end, mainly produced by a single product. There is still a certain gap between the industrial chain’s synergy, R&D strength, sales ability, and after-sales service ability and foreign endoscopy giants. Therefore, both the soft endoscope market and the rigid endoscope market currently occupy a relatively large market share, while the share is small.
Compared with industrial endoscopes, medical endoscopes have higher technical barriers. The development of China's medical endoscope industry started relatively late, and the innovation system is not yet complete. It is faced with technologies, standards, brands, innovative R&D and production capabilities. Great challenges for foreign companies. At present, domestic companies are committed to independent innovation of miniature precision endoscopes, and breakthroughs have been made in the key components and core technologies of medical endoscopes, such as precision optical systems and precision mechanical systems. In order to reduce the pain of patients and improve their experience, as well as to better promote medical endoscope technology in diagnosis and treatment, miniaturization and customization will also become one of the key development directions of medical endoscopes in the future.
In recent years, under the favorable external environment for the overall rapid development of medical devices and the strong support of national policies, my country's medical endoscopy enterprises have paid more and more attention to independent innovation, research and development investment has increased year by year, and the technical level has been continuously improved. Continuous improvement and increasing competitiveness. Endoscope is an instrument that integrates optics, electronics, structure, materials and other comprehensive disciplines. The technical barriers are very high, especially for flexible endoscopes. The market for flexible endoscopes is basically Olympus, Fujifilm and Pentax. While other companies monopolize, the market share exceeds 90%, of which Olympus's market share exceeds 70%. In the past, the domestic endoscope market was basically monopolized by Japanese and European and American companies. With the domestic emphasis on the medical endoscope industry, Shenzhen and Shanghai Australia were opened. Some high-end and low-end markets. In order to narrow the gap with imported technology and equipment, domestic enterprises are increasing their innovation efforts, innovating in product innovation, and listing product innovation as a strategic direction.
