What is the stapler industry?

There are more than 100 domestic stapler manufacturers, mainly in East China and North China (especially Changzhou, Jiangsu), and are mainly divided into three echelons: First of all, as foreign-funded companies with strong technical strength, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic occupy a large market share in my country, and their products and technologies have been imitated by domestic companies; Secondly, with the rapid development of the domestic stapler industry, a domestic stapler camp led by companies such as Pelt, Frankman, Ricky, and Wick Medical has formed in China, and it is expanding in China with well-known international companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic. Compete and export products to foreign markets, occupying an important position in the industry; Finally, there are still a large number of small-scale stapler manufacturers in China, but their capital and technical capabilities are limited, and the overall competitiveness is weak. Although domestic manufacturers currently rely on their own advantages in the field of traditional open staplers to grab a certain market share, they are still at an absolute disadvantage in the field of high-end endoscopic staplers.


Open stapler market competition:

In the field of traditional open staplers, due to relatively low technical requirements and patent barriers, domestic brands in recent years have squeezed out multinational medical device companies represented by Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic by virtue of their advantages in quality, after-sales service, and cost-effectiveness. Some markets including the United Kingdom, South Korea, Brazil, Iran and other countries and regions. At the same time, in the domestic market, the domestic substitution rate has also risen to about 50%. It can be seen that the current import and domestic prices are approaching, and the market will enter the Red Sea competition. In the future, domestic manufacturers may win miserably.

Endoscopic stapler market competition:

In the field of endoscopic staplers, due to high technical requirements and high patent barriers, all countries and regions in the overseas market are basically dominated by multinational medical device companies represented by Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic. The domestic market is basically dominated by imported brands. In view of the price difference, domestic manufacturers will have the opportunity to press the start button of rapid domestic substitution based on the continuous improvement of performance and close to imported brands in the future.
