Medical device market is one of the fastest growing market sectors in China, which has an average growth rate of 20% within the last decade. That leads to the fact that, in 2013, China surpassed Japan to become the second largest medical device market in the world.
China offers significant potential for U.S. companies interested in entering and expanding into the Chinese medical device market. Based on the target policy set by China’s Health and Family Planning Commission, 70 to 75% of the medical devices in Tier-3 hospitals and 66% of that in Tier-2 hospitals will be imported from foreign countries. With an increasingly aging population and increasing health awareness, there is a great potential for the medical device industry on the mainland. Compared with domestic products, imported products are better accepted by the Chinese hospitals and the Chinese view foreign medical device companies as more credible than their Chinese counterparts.

You Can Self-Certify Data Protection Through the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce.
The Privacy Shield program enables U.S.-based organizations to join the Privacy Shield Framework in order to benefit from the adequacy determination. To join the Privacy Shield Framework, a U.S.-based organization will be required to self-certify to the Department of Commerce and publicly commit to comply with the Framework’s requirements.
