After Rosuvastatin was launched, its sales value grew sharply. Rosuvastatin has become a key product of statins. In 2012, Rosuvastatin became the number one lipid-lowering drug in the world with a sales value of USD 6.2 billion.
With the improvement of living standards and the change in diet, from 1978 to 2018, Chinese people’s blood lipid levels kept rising, and the incidence of dyslipidemia increased significantly. The overall incidence of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults is up to about 40%. As dyslipidemia is a major cause of the development of coronary heart disease, strokes and other atherosclerotic lesions, active treatment of hyperlipidemia can reduce the incidence of these diseases. In China, Rosuvastatin is used to treat primary hypercholesterolemia (Type IIa, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia) or mixed dyslipidemia (Type IIb) that cannot be properly controlled via diet control and non-drug treatments (e.g. sports therapy and weight loss). In the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, it complements the diet control and other lipid-lowering measures (such as LDL removal), or serves as an alternative when these measures do not work.
According to the author, Rosuvastatin has been growing rapidly since it entered China, with its sales revenue increasing from less than CNY 2 million in 2007 to more than CNY 1.1 billion in 2017. At present, China’s Rosuvastatin market is dominated by IPR PHARMACEUTICALS INC. (ASTRAZENECA), Lunan Better Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Nanjing Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Nanjing Simcere Dongyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Jingxin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., etc. Pfizer has the largest market share by sales value which was about 67% in 2017.
It is expected that as more Chinese people suffer from hyperlipidemia, China's Rosuvastatin market will continue to grow in the next few years.

Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.
Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.
Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.
The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.
The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.
1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
5. Inside and outside the industry, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, show inner competitions
6. Proper estimation of the future is good guidance for strategic planning.
