Stimulated by market demand and stable national investments, the hospital industry in China has long maintained steady progression in recent years. Up to the end of October 2011, the number of hospitals in China grew from 19,246 in 2006 to 21,415 including 1,353 first-level hospitals, 6,507 secondary-level hospitals, 5,367 third-level hospitals and 8,188 undetermined-level hospitals. From 2005 to 2010, the industry revenue saw a substantial rise from RMB423.8 billion to RMB1.0284 trillion, with a CARG of 19.4%.

As the government has introduced a series of favorable policies that promote the reform of public hospitals, encourage and guide the inrush of social capital to enter hospital industry, numbers of non-public hospitals and profitable hospitals in China surged to 7,739 and 5,096 respectively in 2010, with CARGs of 14.6% and 11.4% during 2006-2010, towering above that of public and non-profit hospitals.
