PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Rising prevention and professional care weigh on paediatric analgesics demand in China
Value sales of analgesics are expected to rise over the forecast period. However, growth will be somewhat curbed.
Digital transformation and smart distribution reshape OTC analgesics
China’s OTC analgesics market is undergoing rapid digital and technological transformation across product development, manufacturing and distribution. Yunnan Baiyao is leading with smart TCM initiatives, partnering with Huawei to launch the Leigong Big Model, which enables Yunnan Baiyao to deliver end-to-end traceability and data-driven quality control, strengthening innovation and compliance in its pain-relief and trauma remedies.
Strengthening child-resistant packaging standards in China’s pharmaceutical market
Legislative and health-and-wellness developments will further shape the industry. The Chinese government is placing increasing emphasis on pharmaceutical packaging safety - particularly measures to prevent accidental ingestion by children.
