to the lag of market reaction, the increment of sales volume is still releasing, and the growth rate of sales revenue is lower than that of sales volume The inclusion of the new medical insurance catalogue in 2017 will also be conducive to the market sales of Kemena in the future Although Kemena's annual sales exceeded 1 billion yuan, the domestic non-small cell lung cancer market has changed Domestic and foreign enterprises, including AstraZeneca, Roche, Bi and Qilu, have also "sharpened their swords" to prepare for the war According to data statistics, the market scale of small molecule targeted drugs for lung cancer market in China in 2015 was 3.23 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of 22.6% from 2010 to 2015 At present, the three main products, exetane, gefitinib and

2003 and listed in China in 2005 It has been a high market share drug of EGFR-TKI in China In 2015, gefitinib's sales volume in China was 1.243 billion yuan, accounting for 38.5% of China's EGFR-TKI market share In 2015, gefitinib's global sales volume was 643 million dollars However, the market competition pattern is undergoing new changes, and more and more global giants are using new product intentions to share the market and re divide the sphere of influence On March 17, Boehringer Ingelheim announced in Guangzhou that the second generation irreversible TKI (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) targeting drug afatinib, which is currently on the market in the world, has officially entered the Chinese market Afatinib has been approved for treatment of EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients in more than 70 countries, and has become the target drug of EGFR in many countries In addition, the drug was approved by the FDA and the European Union in 2016 to treat patients with advanced lung

more It has set a record of the speed of listing of imported drugs in China after the implementation of chemical drug registration and classification in 2007 Although the market share of gefitinib is gradually shrinking with the increase of sales of exetinib However, with the listing of Teresa, it will continue to form an offensive posture against Kemena The external prediction of AstraZeneca is that through the price reduction of Iresa, it is used to go low-end and fight against competitors, while Teresa is used to seize the market and form a pincer attack Erlotini (Troika) was also selected into the national drug price negotiation list with Kemena Although he finally chose to withdraw from the negotiation, in August 2016, Roche announced to reduce the price of Troika by 30% on the basis of the terminal retail price of 2358 yuan / box (10 day consumption) After being included in the national medical insurance catalogue, the price of Kemena is 1399 yuan / box (7-day consumption), and after the price reduction of troika, its price advantage is also shrinking In addition to these listed products, in recent years, with the increasing incidence rate of lung cancer, the demand for anti-cancer drugs in the field of domestic enterprises is increasing, and the investment in the field of anti-tumor drugs is gradually increasing At present, at least 25 companies in China are applying for the imitation of gefitinib, and at least 28 companies are applying for the imitation of erlotinib, among which there are some powerful enterprises such as Hengrui pharmaceutical, Luoxin pharmaceutical, Xiansheng pharmaceutical, etc At the end of 2016, Yirui, the first generic drug of gefitinib developed by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., was approved by CFDA to hold the humanities number of listing license, becoming a pilot drug of China's drug listing license holder system, and officially launched in February this year What attracts people's attention is the price of IRICO, which is down from 5000 yuan per box to 2000 yuan For Beida, the competition of NSCLC in China will be more fierce in the future Beida said that in 2017, it will actively promote the convergence of Kemena's medical insurance in all provinces and cities across the country, take core market areas as the basic point, further develop new markets and tap market potential Increase the academic promotion and brand building of Kemena, and effectively transform its product advantages into market advantages and brand advantages At the same time, actively expand the overseas market, including
