The Booming Hospital Construction Market in China
China has the largest hospital construction market in the world. According to the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, by the end of 2022, there were 1,032,918 medical and healthcare institutions in total, including 36,976 hospitals, providing 9.75 million beds, with the number of beds per 1,000 people reaching 6.92. There is still significant market growth potential to reach the 2025 target for beds per 1,000 people in medical and healthcare institutions. In March 2024, the State Council officially launched a document on new round of large-scale equipment upgrades. The document explicitly proposes a growth of over 25% in medical
equipment investment by 2027 compared to 2023, along with plans for ward renovations and improvements and other key contents.
