Seven characteristics of pharmaceutical machinery industry in China

At present, 13 pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers from developed countries and 7 foreign pharmaceutical machinery associations including the United States and Germany have set up representative offices in China There are more than 20 wholly-owned pharmaceutical machinery manufacturers in China As many as 200 pharmaceutical machinery manufacturers are interested in or planning to find Chinese agents Compared with 2006, the number of foreign-funded enterprises has increased 5-7 times In recent years, with the continuous improvement of drug quality standards, the market demand for pharmaceutical machinery in China has been expanding While the total output value of the domestic pharmaceutical machinery industry has grown substantially, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises have entered the market Domestic and foreign-funded enterprises have formed a situation of competition and short-term combat In the future, the domestic pharmaceutical machinery industry should strive to improve the standards, improve the level of self-discipline, and constantly improve the core competitiveness According to the data of China Pharmaceutical Equipment Industry Association, in 2012, the sales revenue of 277 member units counted by the association was 18.373 billion yuan, three times of that in 2006; the total profit was 2.027 billion yuan, 3.6 times of that in 2006; the export delivery value was 2.034 billion yuan, 2.8 times of that in 2006, and the output value of the whole industry was conservatively estimated to be over 20 billion yuan China's pharmaceutical machinery started in the 1980s Looking at the development of nearly 30 years, the industry has the market cyclical characteristics, that is to say, the driving force for the development of pharmaceutical machinery market comes from the upgrading of pharmaceutical industry According to the person in charge of the above Association, after 2006, with the completion of the 1998 version of GMP certification, the development of pharmaceutical machinery industry once fell into a low ebb But since 2010, with the implementation of the newly revised GMP certification, the pharmaceutical machinery market has recovered again In 2010, the total output value of China's pharmaceutical industry exceeded 1 trillion yuan, and the output value and profit of pharmaceutical machinery industry also achieved a historic leap In the past five years, the development of pharmaceutical machinery industry has seven characteristics: first, it has made remarkable achievements in opening up the international market The export of products is not the glory of individual enterprises, but an industry phenomenon At present, there are more than 85 countries exporting pharmaceutical equipment products in China, with an average annual growth rate of 23.075% in total delivery value Eight categories of products are exported, and project contracting projects are increasing Second, the number of products with independent intellectual property rights has increased rapidly As of May 20, 2008, there are 78024 domestic pharmaceutical equipment related products in China It is common to have more than one product The third is to develop new products closely around the requirements of the newly revised GMP, and realize technological innovation In particular, aseptic pharmaceutical production equipment has basically replaced imported products, saving a lot of costs for pharmaceutical enterprises Fourth, the concept of quality from design has been recognized and implemented by many pharmaceutical machinery enterprises It has become the direction of pharmaceutical machinery manufacturers to provide pharmaceutical enterprises with equipment solutions that meet the newly revised GMP standards and help pharmaceutical enterprises reduce the quality risk Fifthly, pharmaceutical machinery manufacturing enterprises have generally enhanced their strategic awareness of standards and actively participated in the formulation of industry standards Sixth, the level of enterprise management has been generally improved, and some enterprises have realized the transformation from experience management to scientific management The seventh is to improve the level of automatic online detection of products After 30 years of development, pharmaceutical machinery has gradually grown into an independent industry, and more and more attention by all sectors of society With the continuous increase of national medical investment and the expansion of the pharmaceutical market, the pharmaceutical machinery industry will continue to maintain rapid development.
