One question: how many Chinese manufacturers in this database hold registrations in Taiwan, how many each, where they are based, and what limits apply to these figures. Data as of 2026-09-07.
Scale and share
In Taiwan the database finds 4,475 companies with records. 799 are from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Macau (18%), holding 2,846 valid device licences, an average of 3.6 each.
Of those 799 companies, 444 also hold records in five or more markets (56%), which says that a substantial part of the Chinese cohort entering Taiwan is pursuing a multi-market strategy rather than a single market.
Registered at home as well
Of those 799 companies, 280 also have a Chinese registration or filing in this database (35%).
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
Taiwan counts valid device licences.
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.
