Recent advancements in domestic R&D are enabling some companies to gain competitive advantages [4][6]. - The Ministry of Commerce has initiated anti-dumping investigations into imported medical CT tubes, which may benefit domestic suppliers and manufacturers [5]. - The Chinese government continues to support the medical device sector, promoting high-quality development and encouraging companies to expand internationally. This includes backing for high-end medical devices and innovative technologies [6][7]. - Analysts suggest that despite the tariff challenges, there is a strong potential for domestic companies to increase market share and reduce reliance on imports, particularly in high-value consumables and in vitro diagnostics (IVD) sectors [7]. Long-term Outlook - The long-term export potential for Chinese medical device companies remains positive, with a focus on expanding into developing markets outside the U.S. Companies like Mindray Medical are looking to enhance their brand presence in these regions [8]. - Companies are diversifying their international strategies, with plans for local production and sales in emerging markets such as Mexico, which is expected to commence operations by early 2026 [8].
