The Chinese Pharmaceutical Market: A strategic opportunity analysis

Abstract

China has become an attractive destination for R&D as new opportunities have emerged following its WTO (World Trade Organization) accession. Development has accelerated both industrially and scientifically, and today the Chinese pharmaceutical market is worth around $US12 billion.

Factors fuelling the developmental growth and attracting foreign investors to the area include low labor costs, high quality clinical data and an abundance of R&D collaborative opportunities and facilities.

Global biotechnology within China has also undergone significant growth, promising enormous potential for new companies. Biotechnology companies in the country have already grown quicker than pharmaceutical companies.

The report discusses the whole of the Chinese pharmaceutical market, taking readers through the history and current state of the healthcare system to the regulations governing the country and its growing R&D capabilities. Detailing the driving forces behind the pharma market and including a full breakdown of the biopharma opportunities, including the contacts of active Chinese companies, the report is an essential resource to understand and access this lucrative market.

The Chinese government also plays an instrumental role in the pharmaceutical development of China. The introduction of WTO guidelines and protection for intellectual property rights has caused a shift in the company structures of China, forcing some to close business or enter into new collaborations.
