On the counter attack of "foreign traditional Chinese medicine"

Recently, the report about "foreign traditional Chinese medicine" attacking the Chinese market has attracted much attention It is reported that the share of foreign traditional Chinese medicine in the Chinese patent medicine market has reached one third This is undoubtedly a wake-up call to the Chinese medicine industry, but also let people can not help asking: what's wrong with China's "traditional Chinese medicine"? This is the essence of Chinese traditional medicine, but now it is declining It is really sad that it has been encroached on the market by "foreign traditional Chinese medicine" The international market of traditional Chinese medicine has been divided by foreign countries, with Japan accounting for 80%, South Korea 10% and China only 5%, according to a report In analysis, there are many reasons why "foreign traditional Chinese medicine" has become popular On the one hand, as the experts pointed out, the biggest advantage of foreign traditional Chinese medicine is its quality, that is, the standard of quality is high In particular, the dosage of botanical preparations in some European countries is generally indicated by standard extracts or active ingredients In contrast, the quality standards of "traditional Chinese medicine" in China are not perfect and standardized, and lack of management, which leads to the frequent occurrence of pesticide residues and heavy metals in Chinese herbal medicine, becoming the short board of the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry On the other hand, the lack of patent protection and scientific and technological research and development of TCM industry are also constraints According to statistics, only 0.3% of China's more than 10000 patents of traditional Chinese medicine have applied for patents internationally In contrast, more than 40 kinds of natural drugs from more than 10 countries and regions have been registered in China, and "foreign traditional Chinese medicine" from Japan and South Korea has occupied most of the international market share early by virtue of patent protection In order to break the development dilemma of Chinese medicine industry, the government, industry and enterprises need to work together to promote the sustainable development of Chinese medicine industry First of all, strengthening the protection of traditional Chinese medicine resources is the key point, which is the basis to ensure the sustainable development of the industry Secondly, we should establish a comprehensive quality evaluation system of traditional Chinese medicine in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine as soon as possible, and establish a special organization to guide farmers to use pesticides and fertilizers reasonably, so as to effectively eliminate the frequent occurrence of quality problems In addition, for traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, we should not only enhance the awareness of intellectual property protection, strengthen the research of relevant international regulations, but also increase the investment in scientific and technological research and development, improve the scientific and technological content of traditional Chinese medicine products, and constantly improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine products, so as to make them more in line with the current market demand and improve the market recognition.
