However, it should be noted that with the growing demand for high-end medical equipment in the pharmaceutical market, domestic pharmaceutical equipment also needs to accelerate iterative upgrading
.
It is understood that in January 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other nine departments jointly issued the "14th Five-Year" Pharmaceutical Industry Development Plan, which has focused on the in-depth implementation of intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing and quality improvement actions, improving the quality management level and product quality of the whole life cycle of drugs and medical devices, and promoting the high-end, intelligent and green development of
the pharmaceutical industry.

 

In fact, at present, there are many domestic pharmaceutical equipment with research and development strength and capital that have been accelerating the development of product performance and capacity expansion by increasing investment in innovation and research and development
, diversifying and differentiating equipment and technology.
It is understood that Dongfulong recently issued a prospectus for the issuance of A-shares to specific targets in 2022
.
According to the announcement, the total amount of funds raised by the issuance of shares to specific targets does not exceed 3.
2 billion yuan (including this number), which is intended to be used to invest in the biopharmaceutical equipment industry trial production center project, the Jiangsu biomedical equipment industrialization base project, the Zhejiang Dongfulong Biotechnology Co.
, Ltd.
life science industrialization base project and supplementary working capital
.

 

Previously, Canaan Technology also announced that it intends to invest 50 million yuan in its own funds to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tianjin Canaan Biomedical Equipment Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as "Tianjin Canaan"

The announcement shows that this foreign investment is an important part of the company's extension of the biopharmaceutical equipment industry chain, which is conducive to the horizontal expansion of the company's biological pharmaceutical equipment and enhances the company's market competitiveness and sustained profitability
.

 

In addition, Singapore and Malaysia Pharma is building a pharmaceutical equipment industrialization project
.
After the completion of the project, it will form a solid preparation-laboratory, customized, production-type, airtight production line of the whole industrial chain
.
It is expected that the sales revenue will reach 1.
2 billion yuan, the annual profit will be 180 million yuan, the annual tax will be 52 million yuan, and the number of new jobs will be 500 people
