In the future, the domestic API market will present three development trends

[pharmaceutical network market analysis] API is located in the upstream of the pharmaceutical industry chain, which is the basis for ensuring drug supply and meeting people's drug demand At present, China has become one of the largest API producers in the world, and after decades of development, a relatively complete industrial system has been formed According to statistics, China can produce more than 1500 kinds of APIs, with a total output of one million tons and an export volume of more than 60% In the future, with the rapid development of China's API industry, it will play an important role in protecting people's health and promoting economic development In the future, the domestic API market will present three major development trends However, in the broad prospect, most of China's API enterprises are simple raw material suppliers, relying on the scale and low cost to win the market, and the real problems such as weak competitiveness in characteristic APIs are increasingly prominent With the increase of labor cost and environmental protection pressure, it is more and more difficult for bulk API to maintain its price advantage In order to solve the above problems, the domestic API industry is accelerating transformation and innovation in recent years So what is the development trend of API industry in China under the accelerated transformation and innovation? In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the global generic drug market, the demand for APIs has also expanded rapidly Because our country is a big exporting country of APIs, it also makes the proportion of relevant APIs in the export products increase day by day, especially the advantage of some domestic enterprises with strong technical strength in the field of characteristic APIs is becoming more and more prominent It is predicted that in the future, with the gradual integration of domestic drug audit policies with international standards, Chinese pharmaceutical companies are expected to play an increasingly important role in the international API market At the same time, the market concentration of bulk and characteristic APIs is expected to increase, and the market competition pattern is expected to improve It is understood that in recent five years, more and more domestic enterprises have focused on the corresponding characteristic APIs, and started the R & D and production preparation work in advance It is expected that the production and export scale of China's characteristic APIs will continue to expand and grow in the future API industry is on the road of green development In recent years, policies on environmental protection have been gradually accelerated Since 2012, the state issued the plan for prevention and control of water pollution in key river basins, which requires more structural adjustment of pharmaceutical and other enterprises, and shut down "low, small and scattered" enterprises with high pollution and high energy consumption With the increase of multiple environmental protection pressures, the environmental protection expenditure of pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises has been continuously increased In fact, API industry also belongs to the heavy pollution industry The pollutants produced in the production process are difficult to deal with and expensive to deal with In order to further promote the green upgrading of API industry, the issuance of guidance on promoting the green development of API industry jointly issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology and other four departments also brought more pressure to API industry, and a large number of enterprises without environmental protection processing capacity are gradually being eliminated According to the industry, API companies need to increase investment in environmental protection, upgrade their industries, improve their processes and improve their pollution treatment capacity, so as to achieve green and sustainable development in future development and seize structural opportunities In the past, China's API enterprises focused on bulk API production with relatively low product added value Influenced by environmental protection, cost and other factors, in recent years, characteristic APIs with high product added value are accelerating their transfer to China's industry In the future, China's API enterprises will gradually upgrade their product structure from bulk APIs to characteristic APIs and intermediates In the process of upgrading this structure, some large API enterprises are gradually transforming into preparations, so that API enterprises can not only obtain future development opportunities, but also improve the current API profits According to the industry, in the early stage of the transformation of API manufacturers, if the industrial chain is extended in the direction of API products, that is, their own preparations are mainly their own APIs, a closed-loop transformation path with low transformation cost can be formed, and the risk will be smaller.
