The Chinese OTC Pharmaceuticals Market is Worth an Estimated US$34.89bn

Posted on: Tuesday, 12 September 2006, 00:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c41892) has announced the addition of OTC Pharmaceuticals in China 2006 to their offering.

China has a large and fast-growing pharmaceuticals industry. The estimated value of the domestic industry in China, at the end of 2005, will be in the region of RMB288.74bn (US$34.89bn), and will have grown by over 140% since 1998.

For the domestic industry in China, the problem is that, although it is one of the world's largest bulk manufacturers of raw drugs ingredients, it has yet to develop a real capability to develop its own proprietary drugs. This means that 99% of the over-the-counter drugs sold in pharmacies in China were developed by foreign companies. This means that China continues to pay a royalty to these developers, for drugs it could easily be developing for itself.

Given the huge size of the domestic market, both for OTC and prescription drugs, the value of the royalties paid must be huge - which is why foreign drugs makers are so keen to corner the market for themselves. However, the Chinese manufacturers are at last beginning to work together to develop their own patent drugs, in order to begin reaping real profits.
