Meeting with EUD DG Trade on Challenges for the Medical Device Industry
Shanghai members of the Healthcare Equipment (HCE) Working Group hold a meeting with Mr Ch. Saurenbach, Officer at the Trade Section of the Eurorpean Delegation to China, on challenges for the medical device industry in China.
The member companies reported of their challenges in the highly regulated medical device market, especially for medium-sized companies without large regulatory affairs and government affairs / market access departments.
Registration (market approval) is costly and takes a long time. Though basically Chinese regulations are in line with European ones, details during the registration may be cumbersome.
China has adopted a strict policy of cost-saving in the medical sector, making market access for high-quality European medical devices more difficult.
The homecare market in China is underdeveloped, providing changes in the future, but requiring adaption of the regulatory system, which in the moment puts most resources in large public hospitals.
