China Healthcare Weekly (Jan.1) – NRDL Negotiation Turnaround, Pullback of TCM, Biotech Sales System

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • This year’s NRDL negotiations could be a turnaround. If the final result really shows a moderate price decline, it will be “a landmark event” for the innovative drug industry.
  • Starting from 23Q2, with the peak of respiratory disease/COVID-19 outbreak past, the demand for related TCM would weaken. Then, the pullback of TCM would really begin.
  • Even if biotech initially tells the story of becoming a biopharma to obtain financing, it will not be realized in the end.
