Beijing Tianjin Hebei "3+N": Class 1 consumables centralized procurement is approaching
1、 Category 1 consumables begin information maintenance
Recently, Tianjin Medical Procurement Center issued a notice on carrying out centralized maintenance of medical film consumables information (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), and the centralized maintenance of medical film consumables information has been officially launched.
Moreover, the medical film for this information maintenance is divided into two product categories: laser film composed of polyester (PET) film base coated with silver salt and protective layer; And a thermosensitive film composed of a polyester (PET) base, a thermosensitive layer, and a protective layer. Excluding inkjet printing film, toner printing film, and document printing laser printing film.
In addition, the Notice mentions that products that have obtained the national medical insurance code can complete product information maintenance by logging into the Beijing Tianjin Hebei Medical Joint Procurement Platform. For products that have not obtained the national medical insurance code, they need to first log in to the National Medical Insurance Information Business Code Standard Database Dynamic Maintenance System to apply for a medical insurance code, and then fill out the product information form according to the format requirements of the supplementary template and send it to the email of Tianjin Medical Procurement Center.
The centralized maintenance work has officially begun and will end at 17:00 on September 12, 2025.
2、 Centralized procurement covers the continuous rise of domestic power
According to public data, the market size of domestic medical film (including laser film and medical thermal dry image film) is about 6 billion yuan, with a production of about 650 million sheets, making the market very large. And in the previous centralized procurement work carried out in various regions, laser film and medical thermal dry image film have been reduced in price to varying degrees.
According to the data of Yaozhi Medical Equipment - Medical Equipment Quantity Procurement Analysis System, there are currently 9454 procurement information records for laser film. The price of laser film has decreased significantly in 2022, and the price reduction from 2023 to this year has been very moderate.
From the perspective of average product price, the average price of laser film is basically maintained at around 11 yuan, and the highest priced sub product is medical infrared dry laser film. From the bidding situation of product enterprises, it can be seen that domestic brands are highly favored in the centralized procurement of such consumables, and the domestic power continues to rise.
medical thermal dry image film currently contains 5698 pieces of information. From the recent trend of price reduction, the price reduction of medical thermal dry image film is basically consistent with that of laser film. However, the price reduction of medical thermal dry image film is much higher than that of laser film. In 2022, the average price reduction of this type of consumable will be around 77%.
The magnitude of the price reduction also indirectly reflects that the price of this type of consumables is lower, with the average price of medical thermal dry image film basically maintained at around 5 yuan, and there is not much difference in segmented products. Moreover, the winning companies of this type of consumables are mostly local machinery enterprises, and Huqiu Imaging (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. has a leading gap in the number of winning bids.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in August this year, Guizhou Province issued a notice on the release of the Guizhou Province Cloud Film Centralized Quantity Procurement Document, creating the first provincial-level centralized procurement of service-oriented consumables in China and carrying out centralized procurement of cloud films. At the same time, China has also issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Standardizing Medical Behavior and Promoting Reasonable Medical Examinations" to promote the implementation of cloud films in medical institutions.
Under the guidance of policies, the development of cloud film has accelerated and gradually been applied in various provinces and cities. However, the transformation is not achieved overnight. From the current situation, the usage rate of traditional film is still much higher than that of cloud film. Currently, cloud film is only deployed in five pilot provinces and cities including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, and Guizhou. In the short term, the position of traditional film is still unshakable.
The upcoming centralized procurement of medical film consumables in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region will also benefit more patient groups, and medical films will usher in a new round of price reductions.
3、 Conclusion
In addition, the "3+N" alliance of Beijing Tianjin Hebei also announced on the same day the signing of a tripartite agreement for the continuous renewal of bulk linked procurement of medical consumables such as coronary drug balloons and pacemakers. In recent years, the Beijing Tianjin Hebei alliance has covered an increasing number of consumables categories through centralized procurement. With the continuous acceleration and expansion of centralized procurement, the consumables market will usher in new changes.
