Breaking through the impasse: Three strategic paths for the IVD industry to cope with price pressure
Release time:
2025-11-14
Against the backdrop of ongoing changes in the healthcare industry, the IVD industry is facing various challenges. With the deepening of medical insurance cost control policies, the normalization of centralized procurement, and increasingly fierce market competition, continuous pressure on product prices has become a common phenomenon in the industry. The traditional model of relying solely on low prices to seize the market is no longer sustainable. Faced with this reality, IVD enterprises can only cope with price pressure by actively transforming and building core competitiveness from the three dimensions of technology, cost, and service.

1、 Technological upgrade: Building a 'moat' through innovation
In a market environment with severe homogenization competition, technology is a powerful weapon to break the price war dilemma. Enterprises should increase their research and development investment, focusing on improving the sensitivity, specificity, detection throughput, and operational convenience of detection. By forming differentiated advantages through technological innovation, enterprises can achieve a "technology premium" - that is, customers are willing to pay a reasonable premium for better performance, higher efficiency, and more reliable results.
2、 Cost optimization: Lean management wins survival space
Although technological upgrading is a long-term strategy, cost control remains the key to maintaining profits for enterprises in the short term. Faced with the pressure of price reduction brought by centralized procurement and bidding, enterprises need to optimize their cost structure while ensuring product quality. Large scale production is an effective way to reduce unit costs. By expanding production capacity and improving the automation level of production lines, fixed costs can be significantly diluted. Meanwhile, the integration and optimization of the supply chain cannot be ignored. From upstream raw material procurement to logistics distribution, there is room for cost reduction and efficiency improvement at every stage. By optimizing inventory and upgrading quality management, a reasonable profit margin can be maintained in price competition.
3、 Value added services: from "selling products" to "providing solutions"
The future IVD competition is no longer limited to the product itself, but evolving towards the direction of "product+service". Enterprises should break away from traditional sales thinking and shift towards creating more added value for customers. For example, providing professional testing data analysis services or specialized testing support centers. This model not only enhances customer stickiness, but also increases customer dependence on the brand, significantly reducing price sensitivity.

Hubei Xindesheng: A solid backing in the field of IVD raw materials
In the IVD industry chain, high-quality raw materials are the foundation for achieving technological breakthroughs and cost optimization. As a professional IVD raw material supplier in China, Hubei Xindesheng has always focused on the research and production of core raw materials such as color reagents and chemiluminescence reagents, providing stable, efficient, and cost-effective raw material support for downstream IVD enterprises.
Whether promoting the development of new technology platforms or helping enterprises achieve cost optimization, Hubei Xindesheng's products play a key role. Its chemiluminescence reagent is widely praised for its high sensitivity and low background value. With increasing price pressure, only through the synergy of technology, cost, and service can IVD enterprises truly achieve sustainable development.
