Taiwan’s Healthcare Industry – Current State and Development Potential
Sustained Growth of Taiwan’s US$3 Billion Medical Equipment Industry
IEK Consulting estimates that in 2017 the output value for Taiwanese medical equipment was about US$3.4 billion and will have reached US$3.8 billion by 2019. The aging of society has resulted in an increased demand for assistive devices and bone implants, which, along with increased orders for blood sugar meters, test strips, and contact lenses, will be major drivers of output value growth. Taiwan has three opportunities for developing smart healthcare:
  • A complete and comprehensive electronic industry supply chain and medical system.
  • National Health Insurance data accumulated over 24 years can be applied in AI medicine development.
  • Proprietors and hospitals can collaborate to export solutions overseas.
State of Healthcare Industry Exports in Taiwan as of 2018
“Taiwan is extremely well suited for digital healthcare. Its medical environment has a high cost-to-performance ratio. Such areas as digitization and automation rely greatly on machinery integration and automated production, which dovetail with Taiwan’s IT and semi-conductors industries.”
- Michel Chu, General Partner, Acorn Campus Taiwan

It is particularly easy to overlook appliances that emit heat have near-infrared light and sunlight has more than 50% of near-infrared light. Near-infrared rays pass through the crystal through the macula to the optic nerve, causing optic nerve damage and early-onset cataract. As the eyes do not feel the damage of the heat, prolonged exposure can burn the cornea or retina and Blue light in digital product is more likely to cause macular degeneration in the retina.21Ray can effectively block off harmful near infrared red light and blue light from penetrating the eyes and reduce the damages. 21Ray uses aspherical lens to effectively block UV light and filter out harmful blue light while retaining beneficial blue light. SGS certified a blocking rate of more than 40% in the near infrared, more than 50% in the blue light, and more than 90% in the ultraviolet light, which reduces eye damage.
