Direct investment in the field of medical equipment

In the weeks since the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 pandemic, all eyes were on the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. What can they come up with to fight this virus, and how? However, this battle will never be won by expertise alone. Investments are needed across the board, especially foreign direct investment (FDI), especially in medical equipment.

In terms of greenfield medical device FDI projects, GlobalData's database shows 217 projects in 2020 (the year the pandemic was declared), up from 202 the previous year.

Of the 419 medical device projects tracked over the two-year period, the majority (63%) were new projects, with the remainder being expansion projects.

医疗器械领域外国直接投资的主要目的地是什么？ 2020年和 2023 年，西欧在吸引医疗器械 FDI 项目方面处于领先地位，约 45% 的项目在全球宣布或开业。

In second place is the Asia-Pacific region with 18% of announced or open projects, followed by North America, Central America and the Caribbean, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Regionally, MENA, South America and Sub-Saharan Africa attracted only a handful of projects.

Western Europe and the US are important hubs for medical device investment for a number of reasons, said Glenn Barklie, chief economist at Investment Monitor. "First, there are large groups of consumers with high levels of disposable income who can afford to buy medical products," he said. "In addition, many of these countries have government-backed schemes to pay for new products and medicines (such as the UK's National Health Service) or to subsidize consumers' costs."

The two sites are also at the forefront when it comes to innovation in medical practice, he added. "This attracts talent, such as researchers and engineers, to these places, which is another big investment motivation for the life sciences industry," Buckley said. “Additionally, these economies tend to be entrepreneurial – providing funding, support, good network infrastructure, links to top universities, etc.”

德国是 2020年和 2023 年全球最大的医疗器械 FDI 目的地，占在此期间宣布或启动的项目的 20% 左右，其中来自瑞士、中国和美国的投资者最为普遍。其他投资来自奥地利、法国、爱尔兰、日本、挪威、土耳其和英国。

在此期间，美国吸引了第二大医疗器械 FDI 项目，其次是法国、英国和哥斯达黎加。2020年和 2023年吸引了十几个外资项目的其他国家包括印度、墨西哥、爱尔兰和中国。

医疗器械中最重要的 FDI 业务功能是什么？ 销售、管理和营销是 22020年和 2023 年吸引最多医疗器械绿地 FDI 项目的业务职能。制造业紧随其后，研发遥遥领先于第三位。

The US attracted the majority of projects for business functions related to manufacturing, R&D, headquarters, logistics and warehousing. Germany holds the largest share of projects related to sales, management and marketing, followed by France and the United States.

医疗器械领域FDI最多的行业是什么？ 医疗和牙科仪器及用品，包括任何非电动医疗或牙科设备，在 2020年和 2023 年的医疗设备外国直接投资项目清单中名列前茅。

An example of such a project is the establishment of a new subsidiary in Germany called Phisure by Guangdong Gukang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a Chinese company specializing in the development and distribution of in vitro diagnostic reagents. The subsidiary focuses on the import and export of medical products such as processing equipment, laboratory consumables and bio-minerals.

Another major move was the opening of a new subsidiary in the French commune of Canejan by Med Trust Handelsge, an Austria-based manufacturer of in vitro diagnostics and medical products.

GlobalData的研究显示，与辐照、电子医疗和电疗设备（涵盖任何需要电力/电池供电的医疗设备，如X光机）和超声波扫描仪相关的项目投资数额巨大。

医疗设备的主要投资者在哪里？ 美国是 2020年和 2023 年支持医疗器械 FDI 项目的最大投资者，其次是德国。医疗器械领域外国直接投资项目的其他主要来源是加拿大、中国、法国、爱尔兰、以色列、日本、荷兰、瑞士和英国。

Research by GlobalData shows that U.S. investors have backed substantial projects in Costa Rica, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico and the United Kingdom, with smaller, but not insignificant, projects in the Netherlands, China and Belgium.

The US is the top destination for medical device FDI by German investors, followed by France and India.

Germany and the US are the two clear leaders when it comes to medical device FDI at the national level. The two countries top both the inward and outward FDI tables, accounting for 33% of global FDI inflows and 39% of medical device outflows in 2019 and 2020. These two countries look set to maintain this dominance for years to come, but the Covid-19 pandemic means investors are looking at the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries with new eyes, so as we enter the post-Covid era, the situation Significant changes are possible.
