Chinese Biopharmaceuticals Market Overview
The Chinese biopharmaceuticals market is projected to witness substantial growth through 2022. The market is largely driven by the growing geriatric population, increasing chronic diseases, and rising inclination toward targeted therapy. Also, the huge demand for biopharmaceutical is facilitated by an accelerating focus on research and related investment. However, COVID-19 has had a negative impact on the economy and therefore healthcare expenditure, hampering the Chinese biopharmaceuticals market growth. In these unprecedented times, the world is looking towards the biopharmaceuticals and medical-products industry for a response. As such, companies in the Chinese biopharmaceuticals industry must gauge the impact of COVID-19 on their business operations and respond appropriately, based on individual positions, capabilities, and goals.
The COVID-19 crisis is fundamentally changing how companies in the biopharmaceuticals sector operate in China, as it has put short-term pressure on budgets and undermined market fundamentals. Our business continuity support solutions can help biopharmaceutical companies to combat the business impact of the COVID-19. Request a complimentary proposal here.
