Mindray's Vision for Global Healthcare Innovation

At the recent 2026 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Mindray Medical showcased its ambitious roadmap for the future of healthcare, articulated by its Board Secretary, May Li. The company has embraced a three-pillar growth strategy comprising Globalization, Recurring Business Expansion, and Intelli-Digitalization. This forward-thinking approach aligns with Mindray's dedication to revolutionizing healthcare delivery worldwide.

Globalization: Expanding International Reach and Local Impact

Mindray boasts over 25 years of global business experience, with a robust presence across 40 countries. The company operates 64 subsidiaries and 14 manufacturing sites, employing more than 3,000 staff members, 90% of whom are locally hired. This strategy has contributed to a remarkable 15% annual growth in international sales over the last decade, with overseas revenues now accounting for half of the company’s total.

To deepen this international footprint, Mindray is committed to enhancing local healthcare capabilities, particularly in emerging markets. Notably, it has established over 20 ultrasound training centers in regions like the Middle East and Africa to empower local healthcare professionals who can deliver high-quality services. This multifaceted approach ensures that Mindray is not merely a supplier of medical devices, but a reliable partner in enhancing health systems globally.

Recurring Business Expansion: Leveraging Technological Innovations

The second strategic pillar focuses on boosting revenues from its recurring business segments, which generated 40% of Mindray's revenue in the first half of 2025. This includes IVD reagents, high-value consumables, IT solutions, and customer services. Mindray aims to grow this figure to over 50%, particularly in markets where it has low penetration, such as in China’s IVD sector, where its market share is currently below 15%.

The company is also expanding its portfolio into minimally invasive surgical applications, including gynecology and urology, while utilizing advanced solutions to enhance clinical outcomes. An example of this innovation is the next-generation Estradiol detection reagent that addresses vital diagnostic challenges in breast cancer treatment.

Intelli-Digitalization: Overcoming Healthcare’s Impossible Trinity

Mindray’s Intelli-Digitalization initiative stands out as a groundbreaking effort to integrate medical devices with IT and AI. By automating routine tasks, the company aims to free healthcare professionals to concentrate on patient care, essentially reclaiming ‘time for healing.’

The Intelli-Digital solutions incorporate five layers:

1. Foundational Layer: These leading medical devices produce high-quality clinical data.
2. Device Convergence Layer: It combines traditionally isolated devices to improve workflows and reduce errors.
3. IT System Layer: Unified platforms like miCare and miImaging facilitate data organization across various medical devices.
4. AI Layer: Mindray's Qi Yuan LLM leverages AI to create digital patient twins and automate documentation, ensuring continuous care.
5. Future Development Layer: Continuous innovation promises future advancements to expand these integrations.

Case studies from various regions emphasize the success of these initiatives. For instance, at Akershus University Hospital, the integration of MiCare and wearable devices reduced ICU overcrowding by facilitating early illness detection. Similarly, at Seha Virtual Hospital in Saudi Arabia, Mindray powers remote consultations to efficiently manage a high volume of cases.

A Mission for Better Healthcare

Mindray’s strategic pillars are rooted in its mission: "Better healthcare for all." By expanding global access to innovative healthcare solutions and focusing on profitability through recurring business, the company is positioned to address significant industry challenges. In the upcoming phase, Mindray plans to develop fully automated laboratories and advance intelligent robotic technologies in anesthesia and ultrasound, showcasing its commitment to enhancing healthcare outcomes.

As May Li articulated, “Our integrated ecosystem transforms the way we perceive health systems, harmonizing Device, IT, and AI into a cohesive unit that provides actionable insights.” Mindray's strategy not only aims to enhance healthcare efficiency globally but also solidifies its leadership in medical technology, enhancing patient care around the world.
