Abstract
The current worldwide focus on containing health care expenditures and the highly competitive environment in the pharmaceutical industry have placed substantial pressure on drug manufacturers and regulators to improve efficiency and quality in the drug development process. Regulatory reform in many of the world’s major markets has created a new dynamic between drug firms and regulatory authorities. In the United States, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992 (PDUFA) has contributed to shorter FDA approval times, and with passage of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA), FDA is focusing on reducing lengthy clinical development times. With Congressional hearings to reauthorize the collection of user fees scheduled for winter 2002, regulatory initiatives and industry practices are coming into sharper focus. These and other issues will be discussed in this presentation.

Nowadays, under the guidance of the government's policy and energetic engagement with enterprises and research institutes, Shanghai has made great progress in the study of theories, technological applications, exploration and industrialization of small scale research. In addition, the industry scale, the product pipeline, the quality of operation and the total layout of the industry itself are changing for the better.
In the next five years, Shanghai government will determine that biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry are new strategic targets. Shanghai will create new drug development framework and mainly develop biotechnology and natural drug products with emphasis on the drug market. We warmly welcome investments from both domestic and overseas and continue to promote the pharmaceutical industry that will benefit all parties involved.

At the Crossroads: China’s Pharmaceutical Market
Dr. Qi Bao, Senior Consultant and Manager
Pharmaceuticals Group, China Concept |

Abstract
The Chinese pharmaceutical market, its main drivers, various sectors and the regulatory environment are discussed. Huge regional and urban-rural disparities in drug expenditure and lifestyles characterize the market, which is driven by a combination of factors such as greater utilization of drugs, increase in urban population, rapidly aging population and changing disease profile and healthcare reforms. The market is and in the near future will be dominated by the hospital sector although the over-the-counter (OTC) drugs poise to carve an increasing share of the market. The market dominance by generic products and the shift towards locally produced drugs are set to continue in the foreseeable future as a result of government policies in healthcare reforms and price control. The recent development and future prospect of government’s healthcare reform program are discussed as is its impacts upon the medical industry. The domestic pharmaceutical industry has been struggling to pull itself out of the inflexibility and restraints under the planned economy and is undergoing painful structural changes. These changes are vital for its continued survival as China’s WTO accession draws closer. SOE reforms in the industry, foreign investments, the problems with intellectual property rights and the convoluted distribution system are discussed along with the issues facing the government’s drive to develop the industry in the western regions of China. Within the industry, three sectors are identified as future high growth areas: 1) Biotech sector, 2) OTC sector, 3) Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each of these sectors is examined in details with regard to its market structure, growth areas/products and the its main problems. The pros and cons of their development plans are also discussed.
