Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Industry in China

The Chinese pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is one of the largest markets in the world, and it is well on its way to becoming a leading global hub for drug innovation and drug development. Even as the COVID-19 crisis rages on, there is an increasing international investment in the Chinese pharma and healthcare sectors.

China's healthcare and pharmaceutical landscape is looking at promising new healthcare reforms in the coming years as the government looks to provide quality healthcare to its population's increasing demand. On March 5, 2021, the government announced institutional healthcare reforms in line with China's 14th Five Year Plan (2021-2025).

With generic drugs being the mainstay of the country's population, generics accounted for nearly 65% of the overall pharmaceutical industry in 2020. While growth in the pharmaceutical industry is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic highs, China will continue to remain one of the biggest markets for drugmakers worldwide.
