The preventive healthcare programs and initiatives of the Chinese Government have considerably enhanced the health of the citizens, especially in urban areas. Commonly used healthcare indicators such as life expectancy and infant mortality rate have improved, mainly due to the country’s economic and social transformation, upgrades in the standard and quality of medical services, and their greater accessibility. The Government is focusing on intensifying the public healthcare system, enhancing healthcare services in rural areas, and strengthening healthcare laws and regulations. It is also aiming to boost the total number of community healthcare centers to narrow the gap between rural and urban healthcare services. Moreover, a large percent of uninsured population and the rising purchasing power of the people are expected to create opportunities for health insurance companies in China. Social and infrastructural developments play a critical role in the development of this industry. General demographic trends greatly affect this demand-driven industry and increased industry-specific infrastructural developments provide impetus.

The Chinese healthcare industry is expected to benefit from its vast skilled labor force, especially since the country has potential to become a healthcare outsourcing hub. The rise in the number of the aged, who are more prone to diseases, will create a demand for innovative drugs. The pharmaceuticals and drug industry could gain from this shift in the demographic structure. The Government is actively supporting companies conducting research in chronic and degenerative diseases to prevent a possible epidemic. Vitamins and other dietary supplements are likely to witness an increase in sales because of the growing health consciousness among the people.
