Not only does it guarantee and facilitate human's life health, but it is also the pillar industry to promote global economic innovation and development. Based on health industry trade matrix among 195 countries from 2001 through 2015, the paper analyzes the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of global health industry trade network by adopting social network analysis method. The research result indicates that:1)The global trade mobility of health industry is not high, but the growth rate is fast. 2)Outward centralization of health industry is obviously greater than inward centralization and appears expansion.The export of health industry is under the centralized control of a few countries, but it has a high universality of demand(import). 3)Global health industry has five cohesive subgroups, including high cohesion region (Europe,Russia and China), medium-high cohesion region(American countries),medium cohesion region(South Asia and the Middle East area), low-medium cohesion region(Asian-Pacific region) and low cohesion region(Southeast Africa). 4)European and American countries has dominant advantages in drug, health product, agricultural product, cosmetics. 5)America, France, Germany, Netherland, Italy, Britain, Spain keep in a core position for a long term, whose efficacy is high but the efficiency is relatively low. 6)The global health industry network pattern is formed by the combination of scientific and technological level, scientific research input, health concept, industrial policy and other factors.
