China is the second-largest supplier of medical devices in India after the U.S. Imports of these products from China have more than doubled from $622 million in FY20 to $1.3 billion in FY25
The government is set to launch a probe into the rising use of Chinese medical devices in India's healthcare sector, amid concerns over data privacy and national security risks.
The issue was discussed at an inter-ministerial meeting chaired by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal early this month. Representatives from the domestic medical technology (MedTech) industry also participated in the meeting.
