In recent years, with the implementation of a number of substantial favorable policies, the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry has entered the fast lane, and it is expected that the overall market size will exceed 1 trillion yuan
in the future.
In this context, upstream Chinese medicine production equipment has ushered in a situation where opportunities and challenges coexist, and more and more enterprises realize that in order to promote the industrialization of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine production equipment needs to continue to innovate

The scale of the traditional Chinese medicine market will exceed 1 trillion yuan
On October 27, the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Chinese Medicine Talents" was released, with the purpose of strengthening the training and construction of Chinese medicine talents in China during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, so as to further promote the revitalization and development
of Chinese medicine.
In fact, in the past two years, traditional Chinese medicine has been encouraged and supported by a number of policies from top-level design to specific measures, whether it is the research and development efforts of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, or the review and approval end and payment end, which are constantly beneficial, constantly stimulating the vitality of industrial development and promoting industrial inheritance and innovation development
.
In addition, from the demand side, under the intensification of aging, with the upgrading of consumption, the market demand for chronic diseases continues to grow, and the scale of the traditional Chinese medicine market will continue to expand
.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Bureau of Statistics, the overall scale of China's traditional Chinese medicine market has exceeded 800 billion yuan
in 2021.
The industry expects that under the catalyst of favorable policies, the industry will maintain double-digit growth during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and the overall market size will exceed 1 trillion yuan
.
Traditional Chinese medicine production equipment is in urgent need of innovation
At present, the traditional Chinese medicine industry is ushering in a new round of development opportunities, and upstream traditional Chinese medicine production equipment opportunities and challenges coexist
.
In the context of Chinese medicine enterprises embracing favorable and positive layout, the demand for traditional Chinese medicine production equipment will also increase
.
However, at the same time, there is still a mismatch between low-level production equipment and the development of modern Chinese medicine industry, and innovation and transformation
are urgently needed.
However, innovation in equipment for TCM production is not an easy task
.
"If it is a chemical drug or a biological drug, it can directly use the existing high-end equipment abroad, but traditional Chinese medicine is more complicated, and some of its dosage forms are different
from the production principles and processes of tablets and capsules.
" The industry said that domestic pharmaceutical machine enterprises need to combine the actual situation of traditional Chinese medicine dosage forms to carry out continuous innovation and upgrading
of equipment.
Take the drop pill dosage form as an example, this is a solid liquid preparation, liquid at high temperature, become solid under rapid cooling technology, short melting time, fast effect, because of its particularity, the industry and even the international has not been mature and stable, complete sets of high-level equipment can be used, which has also become a major bottleneck
restricting the production and manufacturing of drop pills.
In order to solve this problem, some domestic enterprises have begun to make efforts
.
For example, in 2013, some enterprises independently developed the fifth generation of micro-drop pellet machine with high-frequency cryogenic drip technology, which solved the technical problems
in the production of dripping pills.
According to reports, the equipment greatly reduces the production of sticky pellets and free pellets by combining high-speed vibration and cryogenic technology, and the integrated implementation of the process control system of online detection technology solves the problems of online detection of material properties, process status monitoring, real-time control of equipment performance, etc
.
At present, the company's pill drop dosage form equipment has been upgraded to a new generation, further integrating magnetic vibration technology, increasing the production speed of traditional drop pills by 25 times
.
Another example is the dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine concentrated pills, the traditional process technology extraction and concentration efficiency is low, high energy consumption, accompanied by high pollution, forcing equipment enterprises to strengthen R & D investment and research and development of new Chinese medicine extraction and concentration equipment
.
In recent years, more and more traditional Chinese medicine equipment enterprises have actively invested in the upgrading and transformation of the industry and the work of automation, intelligence and information transformation, accelerating the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration equipment to help the modernization process
of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Through strengthening research and development, we have applied a variety of new technologies and processes to the process of traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration, improved the traditional Chinese medicine extraction process technology, and developed a new type of traditional Chinese medicine concentration equipment, which not only improves the extraction rate of the active ingredients of the liquid liquid, shortens the extraction time, but also reduces energy consumption and cost
.
" Some manufacturers of traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration equipment said
.
The innovation of traditional Chinese medicine production equipment is inseparable from the continuous R&D investment
of enterprises.
It is understood that while some equipment companies increase investment in research and development, they will also choose to cooperate with universities and scientific research institutions to jointly create a research and development platform
.
At the same time, some enterprises choose to cooperate with large enterprises, take the road of joint research and development, improve production technology, promote equipment technological transformation and equipment upgrading, continuously improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine production, and create conditions
for traditional Chinese medicine products to enter the international market.
epilogue
It is believed that in the future, as more and more enterprises focus on the research and development and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine equipment, and gradually develop from a single product to a complete set of equipment, from a single equipment to provide a complete set of technical solutions, the level of traditional Chinese medicine production equipment in China will continue to improve, the industry will continue to upgrade, and promote the industrialization process of traditional Chinese medicine
