From Shanghai NewMed Medical (NMM HK)’s pipeline, it can be seen that almost all the candidates do not have obvious advantages in development progress in front of the competing products.
NewMed has little experience in launching and commercializing product candidates, especially as a late-comer. So, the actual commercialization performance could be lower than expected.
Since there are so many uncertainties as well as the poor market sentiment for new IPOs in HKEX, we are conservative about the outlook of NewMed at the current stage.

Venus MedTech (2500 HK) is taking the lead in TAVR industry, but Peijia Medical (9996 HK) has advantages in development progress of future products. So, the market pattern is not yet determined.
The high cost of TAVR surgery is the main reason for lower-than-expected sales performance of related companies and low market penetration. The fierce competition would also bring more challenges. 
A good solution is to enter developing markets with CE mark, which would offer a new commercialization option and also a wider expansion beyond just European and American markets.
