Chinese medical device companies are facing significant challenges at home due to stringent anti-corruption policies and shrinking profit margins. In response, many are looking to expand their operations into Europe, where they see potential for growth.
The push into the European market comes at a time when cross-border trade protectionism is on the rise, complicating international business for these companies. Despite these hurdles, the allure of the European market remains strong.
Government-backed hospitals in China are also influencing this shift, as they adapt to new regulations and seek innovative solutions from foreign markets. This trend highlights the dynamic nature of the global medical device industry.
