Manpower requirement by strategic sector (the Six Industries), 2009-2015 http://www.statistics.gov.hk/pub/b10500152012xxxxb0100.pdf
Manpower requirement for Medical services Manpower requirement for Medical services is projected to increase from 72 000 (2.1% of total employment) in 2009 to 86 000 (2.3%) in 2015, or by an average annual growth rate of 3.0%. Such growth could mainly be attributable to : (a) The maintenance of essential service for the local community, particularly for children aged below five and the elderly; (b) The ageing of the Hong Kong population, resulting in an increase in demand for products and services on medical and health care; (c) The increasing utilisation of medical services and procurement of drugs by people of the Mainland; and (d) The further development of Chinese medicine.
Manpower requirement for Innovation and technology Within the Six Industries, Innovation and technology is expected to have the largest average annual growth rate (4.5%), with manpower requirement projected to increase from 27 500 (0.8% of total employment) in 2009 to 35 800 (0.9%) in 2015. The increase is likely to arise from : (a) The development of Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy would support the investment in research and development (R&D) activities; (b) The growing demand of technology based products and services as well as the keen competition in the business segments, both of which will help drive companies to move up the value-added ladder through conducting more technological innovation activity; and (c) The support of Government on innovation and technology development would provide impetus to R&D activities which would have a positive impact on job creation.
Industry Features The medical and healthcare equipment industry has two distinct markets: Professional or institutional (hospitals and clinics) and Household consumer Most medical and healthcare equipment companies in Hong Kong are engaged in OEM and ODM
Industry Features With increased competitiveness in price and product development, the Chinese mainland is increasingly putting pressure on Hong Kong local companies, inducing them to strive for product and company re-positioning. Many Hong Kong-based companies also provide engineering design services in order to enhance their competitive edge
Industry Features Products with better growth prospects for Hong Kong manufacturers and distributors include Home-based equipment, Hygiene sterilized supplies, Equipment for less-invasive procedures, Minimum invasive surgical tools and devices, Orthopedic tools and devices, Devices and supplies for high health-risk diseases and injuries, and Wearable devices etc.
