Pharmaceutical industry weekly: “14th five year plan”, qualitative change of pharmaceutical innovation

Thinking this week: the 14th five year plan is released, innovative manufacturing and upgrading

On January 30, 2022, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the health and Health Commission, the Ministry of emergency management, the state medical insurance administration, the State Food and drug administration, the State Administration of traditional Chinese Medicine and other nine departments jointly issued the “14th five year plan” for the development of the pharmaceutical industry, putting forward the development goals of the industry in the next five years and the long-term goals of 15 years.

We believe that the 14th five year plan for the pharmaceutical industry is a major positive document for the pharmaceutical industry. On the basis of the 13th five year plan, it further emphasizes that the pharmaceutical industry is far higher than the development goal of GDP (8%), and puts forward comprehensive planning and guidance for the pharmaceutical industry from the aspects of innovation, manufacturing, informatization and internationalization. Innovation puts more emphasis on internationalization and is the mainstream market. Manufacturing puts more emphasis on global supply chain and common technology support. At the same time, it also puts forward specific development directions for the innovation and key technologies of four fine molecule industries (chemical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, biological medicine and medical devices). We once again emphasize the main line of “grasping manufacturing and welcoming innovation” proposed in the annual strategy of 2022.

Pharmaceutical investment strategy in 2022: grasp manufacturing and welcome innovation

We suggest that investors should break the “core assets” and “sector concept” so that they can look at the investment opportunities in the upstream and manufacturing links with the industrial chain thinking, and the innovative pharmaceutical machinery will continue to survive the fittest during the transition period.
