Medium and long term perspective of innovative pharmaceutical industry:

In recent years, with the influx of capital stimulated by policies, China has ushered in a gale of innovation. China’s innovation market has strong policy attributes. On October 8, 2017, the two offices jointly issued the opinions on deepening the reform of the review and approval system and encouraging the innovation of drugs and medical devices, which opened the first wave of innovation. With the revision of the administrative measures for drug registration, drug negotiation and the introduction of the dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance, the top-level design of the policy has completely solved the problem of insufficient innovation power caused by Limited R & D resources, non-standard Review & slow progress, low bidding efficiency, high difficulty in admission and difficult connection of medical insurance in history. Under the stimulation of Programmatic Policies, combined with the promotion of the science and innovation board and the registration system in recent years, the capital of innovative medicine racetrack swarmed, and the financing of innovative medicine enterprises accelerated, which also led China’s innovative medicine investment into the gale mouth era. Driven by a good policy environment and capital, China’s innovation rise has accelerated. Domestic innovative drugs have entered the harvest period one after another, and more heavy innovative products will be approved and listed in China in the next few years.

What cannot be ignored is that the time window for “general innovation” given by the policy is becoming shorter and shorter, the cost control of medical insurance is becoming stricter, and the track is becoming more and more crowded. We have slowly entered the moment of “selected high-quality innovation”. At present, the homogenization of innovative drug research and development in China is more serious, and the homogenization of targeted drugs is the most serious. The era that innovative drugs are listed as blockbusters is slowly passing, and the time window period of “general innovation” given by the policy is becoming shorter and shorter. We believe that China’s innovative drug market has slowly entered the moment of “selected high-quality innovation” from “general innovation”. In the future, the homogenization competition of McAb popular targets will continue to be intense, and the homogenized products will gradually lose their competitiveness. New technologies, scarce technology platforms, differentiated treatment fields and innovative drug delivery methods may bring a better competitive pattern to enterprises, and companies with technology precipitation are expected to stand out.

Risk tips: 1) negative policies continue to exceed expectations; 2) The growth rate of the industry was lower than expected.
