1.2 Enterprise Registration Concentration in April
Top 3 Enterprises by Registration Volume:
4 certificates
4 certificates
3 certificates
1.3 Accelerated New Entrants
Target departments of new enterprises: Gynecology, Otolaryngology, Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Optical/Electronic Host
II. Trend Analysis: Registration Trends and Segmented Field Changes
2.1 Monthly Registration Trends of Three Major Categories

2.4 Reusable Endoscope Type Structure (First Statistics)
Endoscope types ranking at the bottom in disposable endoscopes – Gastroenterology and Otolaryngology – rank 1st and 2nd in reusable endoscopes.
Gastroenterology (32% of reusable endoscopes) — absolutely high proportion
Indicates: Gastroenterology endoscopy competition is increasingly fierce, dominated by reusable endoscopes.
2.5 “Exception” Phenomenon of Gynecological Endoscopes
III. Trend Summary and Outlook
Endoscopy – a widely watched field with low entry barriers but high core capabilities.
Behind the registration data reflects multiple games of technical thresholds, clinical choices, and market competition.
Disposable endoscopes continue to heat up, structural changes in urology and gynecology, the quietly rising respiratory field, the fiercely competitive reusable gastroenterology endoscopes…
Where is the future of endoscopy? Welcome industry colleagues to leave comments and discuss.
