One question: how many Chinese manufacturers in this database hold registrations in Singapore, how many each, where they are based, and what limits apply to these figures. Data as of 2026-09-07.
Scale and share
In Singapore the database finds 2,754 companies with records. 386 are from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Macau (14%), holding 1,645 device registrations, an average of 4.3 each.
Of those 386 companies, 302 also hold records in five or more markets (78%), which says that a substantial part of the Chinese cohort entering Singapore is pursuing a multi-market strategy rather than a single market.
Registered at home as well
Of those 386 companies, 126 also have a Chinese registration or filing in this database (33%).
A share below 100%% has two distinct explanations. Either the company is export-oriented and genuinely holds no domestic registration, or the Chinese side of this database groups by company name and a different spelling — an abbreviation, bracketed suffix or former name — fails to match. The second is a limitation of our data and is not evidence that a company lacks domestic registration.

Scope and limits
Singapore counts device registrations.
Every market figure on this site is the result of **re-checking each manufacturer name record by record**, not a raw hit count from a registry search interface. Name search in these registries is generally a substring match: searching EUDAMED for "Edan" returns 1,933 records, of which 434 belong to HANEDAN in Turkey and 300 to TeDan Surgical in the United States — taking the raw count would overstate by more than 60 percent. We therefore require the distinctive token to appear as a whole word and demand a genuinely distinguishing shared token; generic words such as "medical" or "systems" never qualify on their own, and the similar names that were excluded are listed on each company page. Each market counts a different unit (the EU counts UDI-DI device records, the US counts listed device types, Canada and Brazil count valid registrations, Korea counts quality-system certifications), so figures cannot be summed or compared across markets. The full basis, official portals and query paths are at the methodology page.
