Chinese pharma growth forecasts
Sustained double-digit growth in the Chinese pharmaceutical market from 2011 is forecast by UK-based business information firm Visiongain. National health care reforms will stimulate sales of drugs there. Overall pharma revenues gained in China will rise to $116.8 billion in 2015, increasing further through to 2022.
In 2010, the overall Chinese pharmaceutical market generated $53.3 billion, nearly a quarter of which came from anti-infective drugs, says Visiongain. With China's chronic disease burden increasing, and its population aging, revenue from 2012 to 2022 will increasingly come from treatments for cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Sales of vaccines will also contribute to the overall growth, the study also notes.
With thinning pipelines and patient expiries, China has been pharma’s best hope
