    Source: on March 3, 2016, the global economy and trade are still in a deep adjustment period, and China's foreign trade is also in a continuous downturn Subdivided into the field of medicine, influenced by many factors such as weak demand of major external economies, lack of power in emerging markets, increasingly fierce price competition, high real effective exchange rate of RMB, and difficult transformation of industrial structure, pharmaceutical foreign trade is still in a low-speed growth period, and the difficulties faced by the overall development cannot be underestimated In 2015, China's pharmaceutical import and export totaled 102.637 billion US dollars, breaking the 100 billion US dollar mark for the first time, with a year-on-year growth of 4.73%, down 4.53 percentage points from the same period last year Among them, the export value was 56.44 billion US dollars, up 2.7%; the import value was 46.197 billion US dollars, up 7.32%; the foreign trade surplus was 10.243 billion US dollars, down 13.99% year on year Sub industry analysis of traditional Chinese medicine: the pressure of traditional Chinese medicine and proprietary Chinese medicine is great In 2015, the total import and export of traditional Chinese medicine products reached 4.795 billion US dollars, up 3.56% year on year Exports reached 3.77 billion US dollars, up 4.95% year on year; imports reached 1.025 billion US dollars, down 1.26% year on year Plant extracts led the export of traditional Chinese medicine, with an increase of 21.71% Traditional Chinese medicine and decoction pieces are the only products with a decline in exports of traditional Chinese medicine, down 18.28% on a year-on-year basis, affected by the fall in export prices and quantities Since 2015, Chinese herbal pieces have been greatly affected by flight inspection, involving several Chinese herbal medicine professional markets, and GMP certificates of many Chinese Herbal Pieces enterprises have been withdrawn The export volume of Chinese patent medicine decreased by 2.99% year on year, the export price increased by 7.87%, and the export volume increased by 4.65% The main obstacle is that the development of emerging markets is difficult, and the developed markets are still mainly in the form of food supplements After the implementation of EU traditional medicine registration act in 2011, it also brings shadow to the "going out" of Chinese patent medicine To make matters worse, since May 1, 2014, the UK banned the sale of all unregistered traditional medicines, further limiting the development of Chinese patent medicines in the EU In terms of import, except for the increase of plant extracts by 33.65%, all of them showed a downward trend, with the largest decrease (26.86%) in traditional Chinese medicine and decoction pieces The import of Chinese patent medicine decreased by 13.78%, which was mainly affected by the expiration of registration of the largest imported product, Jingdu nianci'an honey refining Chuanbei Pipa cream The negative growth of health products import is affected by the new regulations on health products, which requires that health food registration be carried out before import (previously, it can be exported as per food) Original address: http://www.menu.com.cn/info/201603/201603030941494149_.shtml
