According to Xinhua News Agency, Premier Li Keqiang chaired a State Council executive meeting on January 10 to expand the collection of high-value medical consumables, focusing on the collection of orthopedic consumables, drug balloons, dental implants and other products at home and provincial levels.
Last year, Ningbo, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Ningxia and other places also issued the Notice on Collecting Information on Some High Value Dental Medical Consumables.
It is said that the price of dental implants will be definitely reduced in 2022 after they are collected intensively.
The first thing we can foresee is The factory price of implant teeth dropped
According to Zhenguan News, Wei Zining, editor in chief of the Medical Reform Circle and president of the Hospital Management and Development Research Institute of the Third Medical Think Tank (Beijing), expressed his opinion after a small announcement at the National Regular Meeting: dental prices are bound to fall.
Once the dental implants are included in the centralized procurement, the price reduction is expected to reach 60% - 90%, and the price reduction of different materials and products may vary.
The factory price of dental implants has dropped significantly, which is conducive to expanding the scale of consumer groups.
From the perspective of overall market size, the number of dental implants in China in 2020 is 4.06 million The compound growth rate in recent five years is about 30%, but the penetration rate of implant teeth in China is still only 29/10000 people 。
Two dental implants for the elderly in South Korea are reimbursed, and the national penetration rate is up to 500 dental implants/10000 people; The penetration rate in Europe and America is about 200/10000 people; Russia and Brazil can also reach the level of 100/10000 people. The penetration rate of 29/10000 people in China is lower than that in India.
According to the industry report, at present, the total number of teeth missing in China's population has reached 2.6 billion potential implants, 4.2 billion and 18.88 million, with a market scale of more than 200 billion yuan.
According to the conservative estimation of the domestic population base, the growth potential of China's dental implant market is still more than 10 times.
The number of dental implants in China will increase
From the perspective of the domestic market, 95% of China's dental implants are imported, mainly from European, American and Korean manufacturers, and the localization level is less than 5%.
The proportion of Aozitai in South Korea is as high as 33%, followed by the market share of Zhuoman in Switzerland, which is close to 20%.
Compared with imported brands, domestic dental implants are generally different:
1. The product quality is relatively low; 2. The recognition of dentists is not high; 3. The policy support is weak, and the only advantage is that the price of dental implants in China is relatively favorable.
At present, there are dozens of domestic implant enterprises such as Huaxi Oral, Weigao Jielikang, Beijing Leiden, Jiangsu Chuangying, Ningbo Meigezhen, Changzhou Baikangte, etc. The estimated annual revenue of large companies is about 50 million yuan.
The price of dental implants will become cheaper and cheaper
It is understood that at present, the price of an implant tooth is generally between 6000-20000 yuan. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of Chinese residents will be 32189 yuan, and only two teeth can be planted a year.
Dr. Zhou Xuedong of West China College of Stomatology revealed that the hospital still has 80000 yuan of implants. If full teeth are implanted, it is equivalent to the high configuration version of BMW.
Although the medical service price of implant teeth may not decline significantly, the ex factory price of implant teeth will decline significantly after the implantation and collection.
