The sales of hydroxychloroquine in the Chinese market have been rising steadily, from CNY 258 million in 2016 to CNY 343 million in 2020, with a CAGR of 7.34% from 2016 to 2020. In 2020, China's sales of hydroxychloroquine were CNY 343 million, a slight increase of 0.71% than 2019.

Hydroxychloroquine has been tried out in search of its effectiveness of prevention and treatment for coronavirus diseases in the first half of 2020. In March 2020, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission in China recommended that hydroxychloroquine be used to treat mild to moderate new coronavirus diseases. The preliminary results of clinical studies in China and France showed that hydroxychloroquine is effective and safe. On March 28, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use of Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate for the treatment of 2019 Coronavirus disease. However, on July 4, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it would stop the hydroxychloroquine trial on the grounds because “the mortality rate of hospitalized patients with the coronary disease could not be relieved during the trial”. In August 2020, the "Covid-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Eighth Edition)" issued by the National Health Commission of China stated that "hydroxychloroquine or combined use with azithromycin is not recommended."
