Boston Scientific puts more skin in China expecting $500 million in sales

July 27, 2011 By MassDevice staff

Boston Scientific

Boston Scientific Corp. (NYSE:BSX) sank $150 million into a five-year plan to expand Chinese commercial operations, including establishing a wholly owned manufacturing site and developing training centers for Chinese health care providers.

The Natick, Mass.-based med-tech giant also plans to increase its Chinese workforce six-fold from 200 to more than 1,200 while investing further in R&D and clinical studies, which will drive the company’s sales force up to about 700 employees and require a fully staffed manufacturing infrastructure.

The target market in China exceeds $1 billion and is growing by about 20 percent each year, according to , according to a press release, and the company expects its Chinese sales to top $500 million by 2017.

The investment aligns with the company’s POWER business strategy, fitting under the "W", which stands for "Win global market share."
The strategy was developed under CEO Ray Elliott, who is set to retire at the end of this year.

The rest of the acronym stands for "Prepare people," "Optimize the company," "Expand our global sales and marketing," and "Realign our business portfolio," according to BSX’s website.

"We believe there are significant opportunities to accelerate our growth in China, where our market share is a fraction of what it is in the U.S. and Europe," Larry Neumann, senior VP & president of emerging markets, said in prepared remarks.  "Adding to the market potential is the growing affluence of the local population and the Chinese government’s commitment to spend $125 billion on its healthcare system in the next five years."

Boston Scientific ranked 10th on the MassDevice Big 100 list of the world’s largest medical device companies.
