The outline of the "Healthy China 2030" states that medical institutions should serve as the primary purchasing agents for medicines and medical consumables, and joints purchasing should be encouraged. Since its establishment, the National Healthcare Security Administration has conducted five batches of national centralized procurement of high-value medical consumables, forming a nationwide collaborative framework involving national, provincial (including inter-provincial alliances), and local municipalities (including local municipal alliances). This study explains the current development status of the centralized procurement of medical consumables in representative countries, and explores the role of research evidence, such as health technology assessment (HTA), in the centralized procurement of medical consumables in China. Looking ahead, various forms of research evidence, such as HTA, will contribute to the dynamic adjustment of the catalogue for the collection and procurement of medical consumables, and the construction of a comprehensive evaluation index system for the clinical use of medical consumables, as well as the integration of evidence-based and artificial intelligence technology for the whole life-cycle management of medical consumables, will inject new impetus into the management of collection and procurement and innovation.
