    However, as the issue of children’s medication has become a livelihood issue that the country attaches great importance to, in order to increase the enthusiasm of manufacturers for research and development, in recent years, the National Food and Drug Administration, the National Health Commission, and the Medical Insurance Bureau have successively introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage Development, production and sales of children's drugs

    .
    According to data from the National Food and Drug Administration, more than 10 children's drugs have been approved for marketing since 2021
    .
    In addition, there are currently more than 40 new pediatric drugs in China at the stage of clinical approval and above
    .
    The industry expects that with the inclination of policies, the children's drug market will further expand.
    In 2021, China's children's drug market may exceed 200 billion yuan.
    At the same time, attracted by the market, the number of pharmaceutical companies entering the market may further increase
    .
    In this context, the research and development results of pharmaceutical companies will continue to appear, and more and more children's drug products will emerge on the market, which will be great news for domestic children's patients
    .
    But it should be noted that, in the long run, this also means that a battle in the children's drug market is coming!
