水银体温计禁产在即，线上店开始断货，客服称“购买顾客增多”

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government will ban the production of mercury-containing thermometers and blood pressure monitors starting January 1, 2026, marking the end of mercury thermometers in the market [1]. Company Impact - Companies such as Yuyue Medical (002223.SZ) and Jiuan Medical (002432.SZ) have indicated that the impact of this ban on their business will be minimal, as they primarily focus on electronic products and have a very small volume of mercury thermometer and blood pressure monitor sales [1]. - Jiuan Medical stated that it is not a traditional thermometer manufacturer and that its main revenue source comes from reagent kits, particularly in the U.S. market [1]. Market Observations - There has been a noticeable increase in demand for mercury thermometers on e-commerce platforms, leading to stock shortages, while electronic and glass thermometers are more readily available [2]. - In physical pharmacies, staff reported that mercury thermometers are selling out quickly, with many customers still preferring them despite the availability of electronic alternatives [4][6]. Transition to Alternatives - Pharmacies are increasingly stocking electronic and infrared thermometers, which are priced significantly higher than mercury thermometers, indicating a shift in consumer preference [4][6]. - Medical companies are preparing to transition away from mercury products in compliance with government regulations, although some have not yet received formal notifications regarding the sales ban [6].
