The current situation of MDSP industry in China
1. Market situation
According to the information exhibition held by the author, the market scale of MDSP industry in China is about 500 million yuan at present, including materials and equipment, but materials account for the vast majority of shares. Some of these used MDSP materials can't contribute to the prosperity of domestic MDSP market, that is, those produced abroad and ordered domestically are directly transported back to China for high fidelity printing, and then sold back to the international market. This kind of situation usually occurs on the product packaging of some internationally renowned medical device companies. No matter it is produced by itself or OEM by other companies, the sales volume of this part is about 10-20 million US dollars.
Since 2003, large international companies engaged in MDSP business have officially entered the Chinese market, such as the activities of Bemis, Oliver and prent, suppliers of high-end gluing and bag products in the United States, Alcan in Canada (to acquire the well-known domestic soft packaging enterprise baobai to enter the MDSP market in China), and Amcor, a soft packaging giant headquartered in Australia, passed the collection in 2003 The MDSP business of Rexam, a well-known UK soft packaging company, has officially entered the MDSP field in China. In addition, Wipak, a well-known film manufacturer from Finland, Arjowiggins, a well-known medical paper supplier for MDSP from France, and several other middle and high-end hard blister box suppliers from Europe are also included. These enterprises share a market of about 200 million yuan, which is not a lot of labels, but grows very fast.
The other half of the domestic market share of MDSP is divided up by local enterprises, such as Shanghai Jianzhong, Shanghai medico, Suzhou united, Shanghai pumao, Nantong Fuhua, Dongguan Chuntian, etc. in addition, there are some very small-scale MDSP enterprises from North China and the mainland, which share a market of about 200 million yuan. Compared with such a large number of enterprises, this scale is not large gravure printing, so the sales volume of these domestic enterprises is not large, most of which are between 10 million and 50 million yuan, and they basically enter the MDSP market after 2000.

From the geographical distribution of these enterprises, we can also see the clue of the distribution of China's medical device manufacturing industry, that is, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta play the leading role, and there are several good companies around the Bohai Sea and Shandong Province for paper packaging, while the central and Western regions and Northeast China are basically blank, even if there are several companies with small output and low product grade.
It should be noted that the distribution of domestic MDSP market is a subjective inference of the author. Do not take it as an established fact to enter the market. In the future, if necessary, the author will continue to update this aspect of the content.
2. Domestic understanding of MDSP
Conservatively speaking, the domestic understanding of MDSP should start from 2000, that is to say, it is only six or seven years until now. However, it is three years later for foreign enterprises to enter the market and broaden the understanding of domestic insiders through relevant training and publicity. In a word, MDSP should be a relatively unfamiliar topic for most people in China, even for practitioners in the medical device industry. For example, many people in the industry in China are still limited to some details (such as sufficient packaging strength, non tearing, suitable sterilization method, appropriate opening method, etc.), rather than In general, MDSP is a complete packaging system, which is a typical and strict evaluation of sterile barrier system (SBS). It needs a complete packaging design scheme, packaging verification scheme and a series of necessary packaging experimental schemes to prove that the packaging system is qualified.
It is the remarkable progress of iso11607-2006 compared with EN868-1 that the whole packaging system is replaced by the details of packaging. However, the latter is the European Union standard formulated in 1997, and some contents are bound to be inconsistent with the current situation. However, the en868 series has been trying to introduce new subsidiary standards, such as en868-9 and en868-10, which were introduced two or three years ago about the non gluing and gluing polyolefin non-woven fabric materials for MDSP. Unfortunately, the quality control standard GB / t19633 (equivalent to iso11607-2003), the only comprehensive standard for MDSP officially issued in 2005, is too general and lagged behind, and is facing the risk of upgrading and elimination. The replacement of this standard is likely to be the same general and lagged behind and lack of deep and systematic en868 series standards. The author will write the content of MDSP standard in the later part, which will not be discussed here. Inkjet printer
In fact, MDSP is also a quite strange post press process for those who are familiar with traditional packaging business, because the material, design and experimental requirements of MDSP are quite different from the domestic mature and popular packaging of food, medicine and general industrial products. Many people in the packaging industry may be more familiar with drug packaging, because there are similarities between drug packaging and food packaging, but there is a big gap between MDSP and drug packaging in terms of technology and materials, which can not be equated. Because of the strong independence of the medical device industry label, product packaging requirements are unique, so people in the medical device industry know more about MDSP packaging.
