The POCT segment is growing rapidly
According to the "China Health Statistical Yearbook", the market size of China's in vitro diagnostic industry in 2019 was approximately RMB 80.57 billion, which increased from approximately RMB 42.75 billion in 2015 to approximately RMB 80.57 billion in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.2% during the period. . It is estimated that by 2030, the size of China's in vitro diagnostics market will grow to RMB 288.15 billion.
At present, the overall market size of domestic POCT accounts for about 10% of the overall in vitro diagnosis market, and the growth rate exceeds 20%. It is one of the fastest growing sub-molecular industries in the IVD field. According to TriMark's forecast, by 2025, the size of China's POCT market will reach about 22.5 billion yuan. The POCT market in my country started late and is still in the early stage of development. The overall market size is small, and the penetration rate of terminals such as hospitals is low, so there is broad market potential/so the market is with broad potential.
Lambo Bio is the leader in the IVD segment
Have a strong competitive advantage
Lanbo Bio is a leading enterprise in the market segment of immunochromatography instrument platform. It is currently the company with the most complete product line, the strongest R&D and production capacity and the largest number of independent intellectual property rights in domestic POCT instrument platform enterprises.

The development of POCT industry can be expected
A bright future for Lambo Bio
National policies strongly support the development of the POCT industry. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", a number of policies related to the development of biopharmaceutical-related industries issued by my country have emphasized the vigorous development of the in vitro diagnostic industry, and have clearly accelerated the technological progress of POCT, product development or industrialization, etc., hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, and import substitution of medical devices. With the advancement of national policies, this will greatly release the grassroots demand for POCT.
Aging drives the growth of POCT market demand. With the development of the aging society in China, there are more and more elderly groups suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver and kidney diseases, and the medical consumption expenditure of this group far exceeds that of other age groups. Systematic diagnosis and treatment requires long-term follow-up and regular inspection. POCT point-of-care diagnostic products are gradually favored by the market due to their simple operation, short detection cycle, and continuous monitoring and management of patients. Therefore, the market demand for products will continue to grow along with the aging process.
This foreign investment will enable Jiete Bio to enter the IVD field, which will help expand Jiete Bio's business structure, improve the product line layout in strategic areas, and further enhance Jiete Bio's core competitiveness.
