Pharmaceutical machinery: Technology Development slows down products need innovation

According to the data provided by China Pharmaceutical Equipment Industry Association, the pharmaceutical (machinery) equipment industry has been growing in scale since 1978 At present, there are more than 800 domestic pharmaceutical machinery enterprises specializing in and concurrently producing (mainly pharmaceutical machinery products), which are distributed in 26 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions They can produce eight categories and more than 3000 specifications of pharmaceutical machinery products, including API machinery and equipment, preparation machinery, pharmaceutical crushing machinery, decoction piece machinery, pharmaceutical packaging machinery, not only for China's 4000 Many pharmaceutical enterprises and thousands of health products enterprises have provided a large number of equipment for infrastructure, technological transformation and equipment renewal, and also exported to dozens of countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Russia, etc Market to be integrated although China's pharmaceutical machinery industry has made great achievements, its technical level is basically in the stage of imitation, improvement and combination, which has not reached the level of innovation or surpassing the level of similar products in the world At this stage, compared with the water level of foreign pharmaceutical machinery, China's pharmaceutical machinery is 10-20% worse In, the main reasons for the slow development of pharmaceutical machinery technology level in China are as follows: 1 The compound talents of pharmaceutical machinery industry in China are in short supply, and the professional teaching level is low Pharmaceutical machinery is a special pharmaceutical technology, chemical machinery, refrigeration, automatic control, packaging machinery, manufacturing process, welding, automatic control, computer application and other professional in one The idea of pharmaceutical machinery R & D is to run these related disciplines through the whole process of design confirmation Now, the personnel engaged in pharmaceutical machinery R & D can skillfully take into account two or three of them, while it is difficult for a single professional to inject these professional elements into the R & D concept 2 Pharmaceutical machinery enterprises compete to reduce prices, seriously affecting the development of the industry At present, some pharmaceutical machinery enterprises have stepped into the misunderstanding of competitive price reduction sales, such as zero down payment, re payment after use, sales below cost price, etc in order to reduce costs, some pharmaceutical machinery enterprises can't ensure the quality of the whole machine and poor after-sales service and other disadvantages In this way, the manufacturer is eager to achieve success or clear the inventory, the user does not trust the manufacturer, and the manufacturer often rushes for payment Due to the abnormal capital turnover, enterprises can no longer invest in the research and development of new products Such a cycle is bound to affect the development of the whole industry 3 The research and development of drug machine did not focus on the actual production of drugs Some pharmaceutical machinery manufacturing enterprises do not really understand the actual production process of pharmaceutical enterprises, and whether the requirements put forward by pharmaceutical factories are correct or not, there are imperfections in the requirements of details, depth and online of the machinery formed in this way 4 Do not pay attention to small test and test link There are many necessary links in the research and development and production of pharmaceutical machinery, such as the equipment of boiling drying and coating in the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, whose process parameter setting and change directly affect the quality of finished products However, many pharmaceutical machinery manufacturers do not have their own devices for small tests and tests, which can not meet the requirements of the sample provided by the pharmaceutical factory The pharmaceutical machinery factory can immediately test out the process parameters and make the finished product Some pharmaceutical machinery enterprises also rely on the pharmaceutical factory using the product to complete this link How can we solve these problems? Relevant experts suggest that enterprises should actively establish production facilities of effective scale, spare no effort to reduce production cost, grasp the control of cost and management cost, and reduce the cost of research and development, service marketing, advertising and other aspects of Zui to a large extent, so that their own cost is lower than that of competitors     Pharmaceutical machinery is the production equipment Users are not only concerned about the price, but also about the cost performance Pharmaceutical machinery enterprises can not ignore the quality and service while controlling the cost While trying to keep up with the pace of foreign technology development, they can copy the advanced products of foreign companies and provide them to the domestic market at a lower price to occupy the market share and reduce the R & D cost and risk After GMP certification, although the number of domestic pharmaceutical enterprises has decreased, the quality, production capacity and level, product quality have been greatly improved, and the requirements for pharmaceutical machinery have also increased Domestic pharmaceutical machinery enterprises should give full play to their advantages and strengthen their strength in pre-sale and after-sale services Pharmaceutical machinery enterprises can cooperate with some pharmaceutical design institutes and research institutes, participate in the new drug development and process improvement of pharmaceutical plants, and win more customers by strengthening the regular maintenance of equipment and customer training At the same time, pharmaceutical machinery enterprises should be good at seizing the opportunity of market differentiation, and increase the technical force to develop equipment suitable for traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing At present, there are a large number of pharmaceutical machinery enterprises It can be predicted that with the gradual maturity and standardization of the pharmaceutical machinery market, the pharmaceutical machinery industry will face a major integration In the increasingly fierce market competition, small-scale enterprises with no comparative advantage in product quality will be difficult to survive Through merger and reorganization, leading enterprises in the industry will appear and occupy a considerable market share Who can become the leading enterprise of pharmaceutical machinery industry in the future? Undoubtedly those enterprises with high-tech innovative products According to a survey conducted by Huicong Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute, the sales volume of traditional products in pharmaceutical machinery has decreased year by year, such as slot mixer, biconical mixer, V The sales volume of pharmaceutical machinery products with high technology content has increased steadily, such as filter washing dryer, high-speed rotary tablet press, coating machine, eyedrop machine, rubber plug cleaning machine, aluminum plastic blister packaging machine, electromagnetic induction sealing machine, etc Among the similar products, the automation equipment gradually replaces the semi-automatic equipment, and the advanced equipment gradually replaces the backward equipment, such as the three-dimensional mixer gradually replaces the slot mixer, the double cone mixer, and the V Type B mixer, wet granulator and boiling granulator gradually replace swing granulator, high-speed rotary tablet press gradually replace rotary tablet press, coating machine gradually replace water chestnut sugar coating machine, etc.; linkage production line gradually increases and replaces single machine, such as eye drops production line and water needle production line, etc.; combined process equipment increases and replaces single process equipment, such as filtration, washing and drying Machine and so on It can be seen that the product technology level will become the key factor to determine the market share of enterprises The survey also shows that, from the analysis of the sales channels of pharmaceutical machinery enterprises, domestic direct sales and agency export are still the main channels adopted by enterprises at present Among the enterprises surveyed, the proportion of enterprises adopting domestic direct sales and agency export is 68.0% and 48.0% respectively In terms of product promotion methods, the promotion methods of pharmaceutical machinery are mainly in the form of door-to-door promotion, mailing materials, participating in professional exhibitions and advertising in professional journals The main way for enterprises to obtain information is through professional journals According to the comprehensive analysis, the pharmaceutical machinery industry will show a slow growth trend in the next five years Generally speaking, the sales price of products will gradually decrease, and the product price difference in different regional markets will be smaller and smaller In terms of channel construction, as the regional agent system can effectively save the sales cost of enterprises and expand the distribution scope, enterprises will mainly develop regional agent system, that is, multiple wholesalers will mainly distribute in different regions, supplemented by direct retail The basic factor of Zui that determines the product price and market share is the technical content of the product.
