Medical network, June 29 June 28, one of the world's three largest medical equipment giant philips announced that will be 1.9 billion euros ($2.16 billion) acquisition of the minimally invasive surgery medical device manufacturers Spectranetics Corp, to expand the lead in image-guided therapy markets around the world.
The deal will be paid in cash and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year.
Philips business adjustment, the medical layout is constantly extending
As the first century old store in the Netherlands to produce light bulbs, philips has a traditional business that includes both health care, quality life and lighting and consumer electronics.
In recent years, however, philips has been making a business adjustment, spinning off its consumer electronics business in 2013 and breaking up its lighting business in 2016. At the same time, philips has been ramping up its efforts to focus more on faster, more profitable health care.
Health care is the biggest business, philips, the company's products cover diagnostic imaging, image guided therapy, the patient monitoring, health information, as well as consumers' health and family care, and other fields.
At present, philips is leading the global image guided therapy market. According to statistics, the global market has sold into the X - ray system. From philips, these systems can provide visual images that help clinicians deliver catheters in the patient's body to reach the target site to perform minimally invasive surgery.
And the investment of ten billion yuan of philips acquisition Spectranetics, founded in 1984, headquartered in the United States in Colorado, can be made for a variety of minimally invasive image-guided therapy of cardiovascular surgery devices, such as laser system and suction catheter, etc.
In 2016, Spectranetics sales revenue was about $271 million. Philips expects Spectranetics to grow in double digits this year, with full-year sales expected to reach $2.29-306 million.
In 2014, philips also had an important acquisition in the field of medical devices, which bought the company for 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion). The Volcano was the only company in the world to measure the simultaneous use of intravascular ultrasound and coronary blood flow reserves to measure two markets at the same time, with sales of about $400 million in 2013.
The two acquisitions further strengthened philips' image guidance treatment business.
Medical equipment giant, hair force medical consumables industry
As mentioned above, the philips soon acquired Spectranetics main products for laser systems and ducts, etc., it is a focus on the cardiovascular system of minimally invasive surgery medical consumables used in the research and development, production and sales of the manufacturers.
Currently, Spectranetics has nine product registration certificates in China, including:
The agents of these products are the company of the jet emmergao (Beijing) medical technology co. LTD.
Consider the Volcano company philips acquired in 2014. In the query system of the state administration of drug administration, the company currently has six registration certificates in China, including:
(note: the part of the system has expired and 6 is the result of the validity period only)
In the above image, the main products of the Volcano are not only the hyperdiagnostic instrument, but also the medical consumables.
Philips has made two major acquisitions in recent years, focusing on medical consumables. As an established foreign medical equipment company, the giant shows the momentum of medical device industry in medical devices industry.
Similarly, a leading medical equipment leading enterprise, shenzhen mindray, in recent years, the company's products by the guardian and video equipment to expand to the IVD, there is a great tendency to strengthen medical consumables products layout.
In 2012, he bought the company, an orthopaedic product manufacturer. Just last month, mindray intends to landing a-share prospectus also shows that the company plans to gradually strengthen the consumable products layout in the next three years, from "equipment and auxiliary, consumables," into "equipment and consumables twin-engine" business pattern.
Another example of a device type enterprise is fish jumping medicine. Yuyue is a traditional household medical device type enterprise, but in recent years, the company has significantly increased its investment in clinical medical consumables.
In 2015, he completed a 100 per cent stake in the purchase of the arm group, the main product of the acquisition, including surgical instruments, polymer sanitary materials and dressings, and medical creams.
At the end of 2016, diving medical bulletin again with 860 million yuan in the acquisition of Shanghai optimal pharmaceutical technology co., LTD. 61.6225% stake, the acquisition will guarantee diving on medical clean disinfection clinical materials of rapid expansion.
At present, the development strategy of fish jumping medicine is "home medical device + clinical medical consumables" both ways.
It is not surprising that traditional device companies are moving into medical consumables. Though, a filed medical equipment industry, outsiders are generally think of first is GE, Siemens, philips' big three, but it is undeniable that the global medical device industry and second - medtronic and Johnson &johnson, were mainly composed of medical consumables products.
In addition, in recent years, some other predominantly consumables giants are bigger, merger and acquisition of relying on the ranking list, a leader in global YiXie consumables enterprises gradually catch up with giant enterprises has become a new trend.
At home, the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the consumables industry is clearly going to overwhelm the device world.
It can be said that, while the equipment enterprise is famous, the consumable enterprise is making a fortune. The price of consumables has been surging, waves and waves, but it seems to have never changed. |
