China is the largest country in the world in terms of population. Its population of 1.3 billion people provides a huge market for the development of China's medical service industry. The existing medical resources are far from being able to satisfy people's demand, which results in the problems to be difficult and expensive to see a doctor. However, China's non-public medical service industry is underdeveloped seriously. So China has put forward the ideas to develop medical and health service system by actively introducing non-public funds, which provides a great opportunity for the development of China's non-public medical service industry.

In the next few years, China will surpass Japan and become the second largest medical instrument market in the world.
