Briefly analyze the market status and prospects of eight categories of domestic pharmaceutical equipment

Pharmaceutical equipment is the equipment used to make medicines and belongs to the upstream of the pharmaceutical industry
.
According to the basic attributes of pharmaceutical equipment products, pharmaceutical equipment can be divided into eight categories, including raw material drug equipment and machinery, preparation machinery, pharmaceutical crushing machinery, decoction piece machinery, pharmaceutical water equipment, pharmaceutical packaging machinery, drug testing equipment and other pharmaceutical machinery and Equipment (pharmaceutical auxiliary equipment),
etc.
From the perspective of market structure and proportion, according to relevant statistics, in 2020, China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery will take the lead, accounting for 55.
7% of the market, followed by API equipment, accounting for 25.
4%
.
In addition, the proportion of preparation machinery and equipment and decoction piece machinery and equipment accounted for 5.
8% and 2.
3%, respectively, while the proportion of drug testing equipment, medicinal pulverizer equipment, and pharmaceutical water equipment accounted for less than 1%
.
Other devices accounted for 9.
4%

Pharmaceutical equipment (Source: Pharmaceutical Network) So, what are the market status and development prospects of these eight categories of pharmaceutical equipment? The author made a brief analysis of them one by one
.
Pharmaceutical packaging machinery: pharmaceutical packaging plays an important protective role in the quality, safety and logistics of pharmaceuticals
.
In recent years, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the entire pharmaceutical packaging machinery market has continued to expand
.
Data show that in 2021, the market size of China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery and equipment has reached more than 22 billion yuan
.
With the implementation of new regulations and new policies such as the new version of the Drug Administration Law, the quality and safety of drugs will receive more and more attention from pharmaceutical companies, and the industry expects that the market size of pharmaceutical packaging machinery is expected to further expand
.
At the same time, the industry will also accelerate its upgrade towards the trend of automation, intelligence and greening
.
API equipment: China is a major producer and exporter of APIs.
As the production capacity of APIs gradually shifts to the Asia-Pacific region, and the demand for APIs continues to grow under the normalization of domestic centralized procurement, China's API market will continue to expand.
The equipment industry brings opportunities
.
However, in recent years, with the release of new regulations such as the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Green Development of the API Industry", API companies are also facing greater pressure
.
In order not to be eliminated from the game, more and more enterprises have started high-end transformation, and they have paid more attention to environmental protection investment, and the demand for related API equipment will also expand, which will drive the continuous growth of the API equipment market, efficient production, energy saving and environmental protection.
Pharmaceutical equipment will gain an opportunity
.
Preparation machinery and equipment: Chemical preparations are the most common pharmaceutical products in China's pharmaceutical market
.
In recent years, with the upgrading of pharmaceutical consumption, the research level of new preparations has been continuously improved, and the market of new preparations in China has also continued to expand, bringing opportunities to the preparation machinery and equipment industry
.
But at present, the domestic preparation equipment is mainly concentrated in the low-end field, and most of the high-end preparation equipment still relies on imports, which also means that there is a large space for exploration in the domestic high-end preparation equipment market
.
Decoction pieces machinery and equipment: In recent years, with the support of a series of favorable policies, China's traditional Chinese medicine industry has gradually developed and grown, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces industry in the sub-sectors has also shown a good development trend
.
However, the quality of Chinese herbal decoction pieces is still a stumbling block in the development of the industry
.
As the equipment for the production of Chinese herbal medicine, the quality of the decoction piece machinery directly affects the development of the decoction piece.
Therefore, the decoction piece machinery and equipment industry needs to strengthen modern research
.
The industry pointed out that it is particularly important to research on mechanical and automatic complete sets of equipment that can provide quantitative basis for the processing specifications of decoction pieces
.
Drug testing equipment: Drugs are special commodities related to human health.
In order to ensure the quality and safety of drugs, pharmaceutical companies need to strictly control each production link, and drug testing equipment plays an important role in it
.
With the implementation of the new version of the Pharmacopoeia, the supervision of the pharmaceutical industry has become stricter, and microbial testing in the drug testing process has received more attention from pharmaceutical companies.
It is expected that related microbial testing equipment will also gain new opportunities
.
However, at present, the domestic microbial testing equipment market is mainly occupied by foreign companies.
Therefore, in the future, domestic microbial testing equipment companies need to strengthen their research in order to seize the development opportunity
.
Medicinal crusher equipment: In recent years, especially since 2020, the cause of traditional Chinese medicine has entered a new stage, and a series of favorable policies have been issued at both the national and local levels to support the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. .
In this context, medicinal crusher equipment has also gained great opportunities
.
But at the same time, the quality requirements of traditional Chinese medicine products are also constantly improving, which means that the pharmaceutical pulverizer equipment faces higher challenges, such as the need to make further breakthroughs in airtightness and wall breaking rate
.
Pharmaceutical water equipment: Pharmaceutical water system refers to a system that uses distillation to remove impurities and toxins in water to achieve the purpose of controlling particulate pollution and microtoxins
.
Pharmaceutical water equipment plays an important role in pharmaceutical production, and good equipment is often better able to meet the requirements of high-end pharmaceutical water
.
In recent years, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the demand for pharmaceutical water equipment is also expanding
.
However, at present, domestic pharmaceutical water equipment still has problems such as imperfect structural and functional design, control parameters, etc.
, and equipment companies need to continue to improve and upgrade to ensure the safety of water in the pharmaceutical industry
.
Other equipment: pharmaceutical auxiliary equipment such as mechanical conveying, pneumatic conveying and other equipment, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry as a whole, these auxiliary equipment is also expected to gain more market opportunities
