Yirui Technology is a leading domestic enterprise of X-ray detectors, and is moving towards the world's leading supplier of X-ray products and solutions. Through more than ten years of technology accumulation, the company has gradually formed a leading edge and gradually formed import substitution by relying on independent research and development. It has four sensor technologies: amorphous silicon, IGZO, CMOS and flexible substrates, and can provide hardware, software and complete integrated solutions for the image chain.

With the continuous development of the sinking of domestic medical imaging equipment, the demand for upstream parts of domestic equipment manufacturers is expected to continue to increase.

At present, the company has successfully broken the monopoly of foreign technology in digital X-ray detectors and high-voltage generators, and is accelerating the R&D and design and mass production capacity building of tube products, and gradually moving towards "a variety of X-ray core components and comprehensive solution providers".

Medical device giants set off a merger and acquisition frenzy

The three major tracks have become investment sweets

At present, the pharmaceutical and biological industry has become the focus of the capital market in the third quarter, and institutions have investigated a total of 277 listed companies, among which medical devices and chemical pharmaceuticals are particularly popular. Previously, the three major medical device giants, Mindray Medical, United Imaging Healthcare and Xinmai Medical, were surveyed by 667, 500 and 300 institutions respectively, showing that investors are highly concerned about this field.

With the intensification of competition in the medical device industry, leading companies have consolidated their market positions through mergers and acquisitions. Mindray said that in recent years, the company has accelerated the pace of mergers and acquisitions, mainly from the strategic direction of strengthening its main business, exploring new businesses and expanding overseas markets. United Imaging Medical also revealed in the institutional survey that it will pay close attention to core technologies that can improve product performance or improve cost structure, as well as mergers and acquisitions opportunities that can expand product lines or bring new growth points. These M&A activities not only help companies quickly integrate cutting-edge technologies on a global scale, but also accelerate their overseas market layout and lay a solid foundation for future development.

In the wave of globalization, Chinese medical device companies are accelerating the layout of overseas markets. Mindray revealed that the international market is growing faster than the domestic market, especially in developing countries and the European market. United Imaging Healthcare's products have served more than 12,600 medical and scientific research institutions around the world, covering more than 70 countries and regions, and its international market revenue increased by about 30% year-on-year in the first half of the year. The company has sold its products to 155 countries and regions, and has set up 11 overseas subsidiaries. These data fully prove that the internationalization strategy is becoming a magic weapon for Chinese medical device companies, and also provides investors with a new investment direction.

However, it should be pointed out that although the medical device industry has a bright future, investors still need to be wary of potential risks. On the one hand, the pharmaceutical and biological index rose by 11.15% at the end of September, showing the market's enthusiasm for the sector. According to the analysis of Everbright Securities, the overall PE level of the pharmaceutical sector is still at a low level, and there is room for repair. On the other hand, factors such as intensified industry competition, high R&D investment, and changes in regulatory policies may affect business operations. Therefore, investors should pay attention to factors such as low valuation, overseas potential, and rigid demand in hospitals, and at the same time pay close attention to high-dividend OTC stocks, state-owned enterprise reform expectations, innovative drugs and analogues going overseas and other subdivisions, so as to grasp the investment opportunities in the medical device industry.

The industry revealed that medical equipment stocks rose collectively

In the face of the collective rise in the stock price of medical devices, there is a view that the current government attaches great importance to the development of the medical device industry and has continuously introduced a series of support policies, such as encouraging innovation, increasing R&D investment support, and standardizing operation and management. These policies are conducive to improving the quality management level of medical device operation, promoting the healthy and rapid development of the industry, enhancing the market's confidence in medical device companies, attracting investors to buy related stocks, and promoting the rise of stock prices.

At the same time, the state promotes large-scale equipment renewal and increases investment in the medical and health field, which means that the procurement demand for medical devices by medical institutions will increase significantly, bringing a broad market space for medical device companies, thereby stimulating the rise of stocks.

In addition, in order to promote the development of the medical device industry, some regions have introduced policies such as tax incentives and industrial park support, which have reduced the operating costs of enterprises and improved the profitability of enterprises, which will also have a positive impact on related stocks.

From the perspective of technological innovation and breakthroughs on the enterprise side, the medical device industry is a technology-intensive industry, and enterprises continue to increase R&D investment and have achieved a series of innovative results. The introduction of new technologies and products has improved the core competitiveness of enterprises and brought new profit growth points to enterprises.

At the same time, with the continuous improvement of the technical level of domestic medical device enterprises, they have been able to compete with international giants in some fields. With the support of national policies, the process of domestic substitution has accelerated, and the share of domestic enterprises in the domestic market has gradually increased, and they are also actively expanding overseas markets, which has brought new opportunities for the development of enterprises and promoted the rise of related stocks.

Then, with the gradual implementation of a series of favorable policies, coupled with the release of previous deferred demand, it is expected that the prosperity of the overall device sector will be fully boosted in the future. The home of equipment will also continue to bring you the latest market trends.
