At the same time, due to the low threshold of the low-value medical consumables industry, the market competition is fierce, in order to stand out among the many enterprises, the industry bigwigs think alike, in addition to strengthening the innovation and research of new materials, products and production processes, but also strengthened the layout of the industrial chain, and more and more companies are choosing to diversify the way of operation, to grow bigger and stronger and seize the first opportunity in the fierce competition and change in the industry.

Although China's medical consumables have occupied a relatively stable market share of more than 60 per cent in the international market, the product grade and quality still need to be recognised in depth by the international market, and the product structure needs to be transformed from low value-added to medium- and high-value-added, and the manufacturing model needs to be upgraded from OEM production to original design manufacturers. China's medical consumables, especially high-value consumables production enterprises "large number, small scale", resulting in China's related products to participate in market competition by the international manufacturers of products crowded out of the phenomenon is more prominent. Domestic consumables enterprises to shake the monopoly of imported products in the short term is still very difficult, mainly due to high-end consumables R & D and production technology threshold is extremely high, chips, materials, processes and other technical difficulties have not yet been resolved. The future road to localisation is still long and winding. In addition, low-value medical consumables are often low-value disposable medical materials commonly used in clinical multidisciplinary applications, and compared with other areas of medical devices, the technical content and industry threshold is low, so there are many participating enterprises and fierce competition over the years. However, most small and medium-sized enterprises lack technological innovation and R&D capabilities, relying solely on imitation and the assembly of outsourced device parts to operate, and only a very small number of large and medium-sized enterprises have a complete industrial chain of production and R&D capabilities. With the development of technology, the improvement of medical demand and the intensification of market competition, the low-value medical consumables market is bound to face the process of elimination of the fittest, and the market will gradually concentrate in the hands of enterprises with core competitiveness. At the same time, due to the low threshold of the low-value medical consumables industry, the market competition is fierce, in order to stand out among the many enterprises, the industry bigwigs think alike, in addition to strengthening the innovation and research of new materials, products and production processes, but also strengthened the layout of the industrial chain, and more and more companies are choosing to diversify the way of operation, to grow bigger and stronger and seize the first opportunity in the fierce competition and change in the industry.
