Highlighting Advantages of the Whole-industry-chain Layout, Starting the New Journey of Internationalization of Pharmaceuticals

Some API enterprises have gradually shifted their R&D and production focuses to the high value-added characteristic APIs, and customized APIs and intermediates in recent years under the influence of the increasingly tightened environmental protection policy and decline of export prices due to excess capacity.

And driven by policies such as generic drug quality and efficacy consistency evaluation of oral preparations and pharmaceutical product procurement with target quantity, high-quality low-priced APIs become a key link for preparation enterprises to have the initiative in hands in future market.

And the competition of API enterprises has been extending to the downstream industrial chain. With the penetration of such competitiveness, CPhI China, a globally well-known pharmaceutical trade platform, has already been exploiting and extending the upstream and downstream industrial chains over the years, and has now included 8 blocks covering APIs, fine chemical and intermediates, pharmaceutical excipients, preparations, contract research, bio-pharmaceuticals, natural extracts, and animal health and feed, and become a professional platform that provides integration for API enterprises to optimize industrial chain layout.

Size of the global API market has so far reached about USD150 billion, and will continue to grow at a rate of 5%. The export volume of China’s APIs hit all-time high continuously in 2015 and 2016, and reached 8.9515 million tons in 2017, which was another history record and grew by 8.33%. The figures show that the rigid demand of the global market is driving China’s API industry to develop continuously.
