Due to the global pandemic, the global demand for all kinds of in vitro diagnostic test has been spiraling since 2020. Data from EvaluateMedTech shows that the global in vitro diagnosis(IVD for short) market size reaches USD 72.78 billion. Meanwhile, China's IVD market was valued at CNY 89 billion in 2020, as shown by the Bluebook of Medical Device Industry in China(2021). A report from Qianzhan Industrial Research Institute(Chinese: 前瞻产业研究院) said, among all kinds of in vitro diagnostic products, immune diagnostic products take the lion's share, followed by molecular diagnostic products. It is expected that in the next 5-10 years, China's domestic IVD products will gradually substitute imported ones, and the Chinese IVD market will move towards the state of perfect competition among domestic brands.
Health Genetech's competitors include Daan Gene(Chinese: 达安基因), KHB(Chinese: 科华生物), Forevergen(Chinese:永诺生物), Sansure Biotech(Chinese: 圣湘生物).
