<li>Although Endovastec has leading position in aortic products, the growth space of this field in China is relatively limited and is not enough to support the long-term development of Endovastec.</li>
<li>The lack of revolutionary blockbuster product/candidate with global pricing power as well as the current weak international business layout are also the concerns.</li>

The lack of revolutionary blockbuster product/candidate with global pricing power as well as the current weak international business layout are also the concerns.
Our view is that Shanghai Microport Endovascular MedTech (688016 CH) (Endovastec) is a good company, but it is not as attractive as Lifetech Scientific (1302 HK) at the current stage.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<ul>
<li>In 2021/1H, the neuro-interventional industry attracted great enthusiasm from investors, but starting from 2021/2H, things began to change and investors quickly returned to rationality.</li>
<li>The major concerns are the product homogenization, fierce market competition and the negative impact of centralized procurement policy. We summarized our policy interpretation to help investors make a prediction.</li>
<li>In terms of future trends, the grassroots market and the international markets are the breakthrough points for domestic neuro-interventional enterprises, which would be the main criteria for decision-making.</li>
