Med-tech Companies to Face New Pressures in China

Dow Jones

0750 GMT - Suppliers of medical equipment look set to face new pricing headwinds in China after the country's National Health Commission set out plans for centralized procurement of radiotherapy, imaging and surgical tools, Citi analysts say in a research note. "This development raises further questions about the longer-term revenue and profitability potential of the Chinese market" across the med-tech sector, the analysts say. Among European med-tech companies, Sweden's Elekta and Germany's Siemens Healthineers seem the most exposed, according to Citi. Dutch peer Royal Philips doesn't compete in radio-oncology or positron emission tomography, but it is already seeing pressure through centralized procurement of ultrasound equipment, the analysts say. Shares in Elekta and Healthineers fall 1.4% and 1%, respectively, while Philips is up 0.5%. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
