Medical device distributors in China: 5,150 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 5,150 medical device establishments registered with an address in China: 198 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 361 registration holders without a channel role, and 4,591 registered as manufacturer or exporter only. The records come from US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 22 October 2026.
By segment
Segments come from the device listings linked to each establishment, so one company can appear in several rows. Imaging and radiology are shown because the registries contain them; Bastion Hale's launch services do not cover them.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distributor | 198 | 4% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Registration holder | 377 | 7% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 4,925 | 96% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 1,860 | 36% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in China
In China the NMPA registration certificate is issued in the overseas manufacturer's name, but a legal agent based in China is mandatory and import goes through licensed operators holding a medical device business licence. The agent appointment, not the distribution agreement, controls the registration.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later; the Audit covers it per market.
