With spending at U.S. $400 billion annually, China's healthcare market will become the world's third largest this year. And that's before the U.S. $6.3 billion China’s 12th five-Year plan committed to invest in the biopharmaceutical sector alone.
As China’s rapid development continues, one of the major challenges has been to piece together the country’s previously fragmented healthcare system. While regulatory and hospital reform are a part of this, perhaps the biggest driving force for change has been the development of the biotech and pharmaceuticals industry in the country.
Over the last 30 years, China’s growth has been fuelled in part by the rapid and dynamic development of its industrial parks (a.k.a. development zones). Significant investment in both physical and administrative development in these zones has allowed industry to flourish, bringing about success for both domestic and international companies.
Despite the well-known pressures impacting the pharmaceutical industry—shifting global markets, R&D productivity challenges and pricing and reimbursement changes —some high-performing companies are successfully navigating the patent cliff and are closing the gap between blockbuster sales loss with sales coming in from new-product launches.
