    After decades of ups and downs, API industry has played an important role in China's pharmaceutical industry, and 20% of China's pharmaceutical manufacturing GDP is created by it At the same time, the pace of API internationalization is also accelerating At present, China has become the world's second largest producer and major exporter of APIs A number of API manufacturers have passed international certification such as FDA and COS, and the price and technical content of exported products have increased At the same time, influenced by the factors such as improving the core competitiveness and reducing the production cost of large international pharmaceutical enterprises, the production center of API in the world began to shift to developing countries, and contract production or outsourcing production has become a trend in the global API manufacturing industry China's API production is facing a rare development opportunity Low cost of labor, raw materials and environmental protection, large scale, high quality and complete varieties are the advantages of our development However, we should also be aware of the obvious problems in China's API industry: low level of R & D, lack of real core technology; unreasonable product structure, low added value of products, relatively small profit space; serious repeated construction, poor scale efficiency, disordered competition and even vicious competition; unscientific and standardized management mode and operation mode The work of international drug registration and certification lags behind Although China has become a big producer of API in the world, it is still not a powerful API country, and the core competitiveness of the industry is far from being formed China's API industry still has a long way to go First of all, pharmaceutical enterprises should improve their awareness of internationalization, do a good job in participating in the basic work of international competition, and enhance international competitiveness We should actively understand, learn and adapt to international rules, and do a good job in international certification as soon as possible At present, foreign drug registration, certification and marketing have been the main bottlenecks restricting the export of APIs in China At the same time, faced with more and more serious non-tariff barriers, anti-dumping investigations and other issues in recent years, China's API enterprises should learn and even be good at using some rules of international trade to avoid risks Enterprises should strengthen cooperation, standardize competition and avoid killing each other Secondly, we should pay attention to the advantages of different levels of enterprises and products In order to develop the scale advantages of large enterprises and the flexibility advantages of small and medium-sized enterprises, we should give full play to the advantages of some small and medium-sized high-tech pharmaceutical enterprises in the research and development of small varieties and production technology, and fully cultivate and tap their development potential Third, we need to change the industrial structure and strengthen the API industry It is necessary to change the situation of "foraging" only at the low end of API industry chain, develop preparation production and promote industrial upgrading In this regard, the "Indian model" is a successful precedent After going through the development stage of enlarging bulk API industry and transforming characteristic API industry, it is the general trend to upgrade the industry in an all-round way and extend the industrial chain to many fields such as preparation production and new drug research and development After the new baptism, the internationalization of China's API industry will be wider and wider Source: China high tech Industry Guide
