Highlighted with the gradually aging population, increasing demand of medical treatment, nursing care and rehabilitation, and at the same time due to the improvement of people's life quality pursue, to make medical no matter in quality or quantity to meet the requirements of a higher level. On the other hand, the relative lack of health care workers and the potential for medical and health service robots (300024) are amazing. The annual revenue for medical robots is now $4 billion a year, according to the Boston consulting group, which will reach $11.4 billion by 2020. 
 
The potential for the development of medical robots is a staggering future 
The development of medical robots 
 
In recent years, the development trend of medical robots has been emerging. Chinese medical robots market potential user base is large, in high speed growth stage, industry demand space is large, the industry as a whole in together "the cake bigger" phase, is becoming a capital chasing hot spots. 
 
According to BCG Boston consulting data, as of 1 January 2016, the global medical robots industry revenue reached $7.47 billion a year, in the next 5 annual compound growth rate steady at 15.4%; There will be trillions of industrial chains in the future. In addition, the cic advisory issued by the China medical robot industry from 2016 to 2020 deep research and investment outlook report shows, the operation machines accounted for more than 60% of the global medical robots, accounted for most. 
 
As Asian countries invest more in health care and reorganize their healthcare systems, the focus will shift towards Asia in the future. In particular in recent years, China has been continuously working to introduce advanced medical robot equipment and successfully pilot applications. 
 
At the same time, foreign companies are also eyeing the Chinese market, with a pre-emptive push to "get a piece of the pie" in the country's huge demand. The "Da Vinci robot", which is used for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, is on the rise. Using surgery robot has done a lot of sun yat-sen memorial hospital, sun yat-sen university urology bladder surgery, the Chinese medical association, director of urology surgery branch committee, director of the incoming Huang Jian said, the United States of leonardo Da Vinci robots booming in our country, as of October 28, 2016, China completed surgery in 35273 cases, more than 2/5 of urology surgery. 
 
In medical robots market at present, foreign companies still has a major share of the market, especially high-end robotics, foreign technology monopoly leads to high cost. However, the medical robot enterprise in China is still in its infancy, it has not yet achieved the scale of the product, and the penetration rate of medical institutions is low. 
 
However, some people are optimistic about the development of medical robots in China. Some experts point out that there is a large gap between the domestic and foreign countries in the pharmaceutical and traditional equipment industries. But in medical robots that emerging industry, at present, the United States and in Europe are in a "infancy", China can enhance the support for research and development of medical robots, realize "overtaking corner". 
 
The development of the medical robot market 
 
In the policy of good, ages, increased consumer groups, and entered the industrialization of the stimulus, the medical robot industry will have great development opportunities. 
 
The annual revenue for medical robots is now $4 billion a year, according to the Boston consulting group, which will reach $11.4 billion by 2020. The most famous medical robotics company, Intuitive Surgical, received $2.1 billion in revenue in 2014. And thanks to the rapid growth of medical robots, future commercial robots will replace military robots, making it the second-largest market for robots, with a market value of $17 billion. 
 
In addition, the global market development trend of surgical robot, according to the 2016 global remote surgery robot market size of about 3.8 billion dollars, but growth in 2021 to $9.3 billion, 2016 to 2021, the compound growth rate (CAGR) is as high as 19.3%. 
 
In 2014, the number of operating robots sold at 978, according to IFR, was 978 in 2014, accounting for 80 to 95 percent of the total sales of medical robots. 
 
With the gradual improvement of the health care system and medical technology unceasing enhancement, inpatient surgery in recent years people rise year by year, except in 2010, average annual growth rate of more than 10%. 2012 inpatient surgery in China 36902542, calculated at an average annual growth rate of 10%, 2020 inpatient surgery for 36902542 * (1 + 10%) ^ 8 = 79103876. 
 
Assume that China has reached such a level, every year since 79103876 * 50% = 39551938, assuming that each 1-30000 additional costs, the future market size is 396 to 118.7 billion. 
 
But, in general, our country has been increase in surgery robot has the very good talent and technology foundation, under the circumstances of politics, medical professionals, combination, will continue to make a breakthrough. 
 
In addition, imperial college London, urological surgeons Justin. He believes that now robot has become a part of the daily health work, as the price of the robot is more and more low, body shape is more and more small, they will become routine treatment. 
 
Medical laboratory experts also predict that the boundaries between humans and robots are blurred. In the future, the experiment object may involve to intake or injectable nanobots, this technology may be able to achieve "microscopic" therapy or targeted directly to the patient's diseased cells to deliver drugs. Thirty years later, the transplant will no longer be organ donation, and the electronically controlled artificial organ will provide a second life for more and more patients.
