The API industry welcomes the new policy, the industry: good for the pharmaceutical equipment industry

Chemical raw materials are the basic raw materials and effective ingredients of drugs, and they are also an important part of the pharmaceutical industry
.
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's API industry, the scale of the industry has continued to expand.
In 2019, it has reached 257.
929 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.
4%
.
At present, China has become a major producer and exporter of APIs
.
Statistics show that the export scale of China's APIs has approached about 20% of the global API market
.
In the medium and long term, with the advancement of centralized procurement policies, consistency evaluation and drug-related approvals, as well as benefiting from the transfer of global orders, the scale of China's API industry will continue to expand in the future
.
But at the same time, problems such as unreasonable industrial structure, incomplete industrial layout, and low level of green production are also very prominent
.
The API industry welcomes the new policy, the industry: good for the pharmaceutical equipment industry (Source: Pharmaceutical Network) Under the new situation of the API industry welcomes the new policy, in order to accelerate the pace of high-quality development of the API industry, recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other two departments issued the "About Promoting the API Notice on the Implementation Plan for High-quality Industrial Development
.
The plan is clear.
By 2025, develop a batch of high-value-added and high-growth varieties, break through a batch of green and low-carbon technology and equipment, cultivate a batch of internationally competitive leading companies, and create a batch of industrial clusters with global influence.
Production base
.
The innovative development and advanced manufacturing level of the API industry has been greatly improved, the green and low-carbon development capacity has been significantly improved, and the resilience of the supply system has been significantly enhanced, providing strong support for the development of the pharmaceutical industry, and forging a unique longboard for international competition and cooperation
.
The plan puts forward eight main tasks and four safeguard measures, one of which is to promote breakthroughs in major equipment research
.
Clearly face the cutting-edge technology fields of API production, guide key enterprises to join the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and scientific research institutes to deploy innovation chains, accelerate the development of high-end production equipment such as nucleic acid reactors and special consumables such as high-end membrane materials, break through the bottleneck of industrial development, and improve the industry The level of self-supporting chain
.
Strengthen the sharing of advanced technologies in petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, and enhance the level of industrial integration and innovation
.
It is worth mentioning that the "Major Project for High-Quality Development of APIs" was also released along with the notice
.
The five major projects include the upgrading of high-end production equipment and energy-saving and environmental protection equipment.
The former will support the development of internationally advanced microchannel reactors, peptide synthesizers, nucleic acid synthesizers, new crystallizers, high-tight isolators, and fluidized bed dryers.
, Ultra-fine powder jet mill, wet grinding homogenizer, membrane separation system, automatic synthesis reactor and other high-end equipment
.
The latter will develop and apply high-efficiency energy-saving equipment for high-energy-consuming links such as air compression, refrigeration, water production, distillation, fermentation, and three waste treatments to improve the level of thermal recycling and reduce energy consumption
.
Focusing on the application of environmental protection treatment technology, develop new types of "three wastes" treatment equipment such as continuous solvent recovery, catalytic oxidation, sludge reduction, waste liquid desalination, bacterial residue treatment, and regenerative incineration
.
The industry believes that the above-mentioned policies will benefit the pharmaceutical equipment industry
.
This may help force domestic API production equipment manufacturers to increase R&D investment, continue to obtain new breakthroughs in the high-end field, and promote the better development of the API industry
.
Status and Trends drug industry equipment higher category API production equipment, including fermentation tank, reaction tank, leaching and extraction systems, crystallizing tank, filtration equipment, drying equipment
.
So, what is the status quo of the development of my country's API equipment industry? It is understood that since the implementation of the new version of GMP, the control requirements for the production of APIs, especially sterile APIs, have been greatly improved, and the cleanability, airtightness, control accuracy of materials and parameters of API production equipment have also been improved.
Higher requirements will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the API equipment industry
.
At the same time, in recent years, under the frequent pressure of environmental protection policies, the requirements for environmental protection and green energy-saving of API production equipment have continued to increase, further forcing API production equipment manufacturers to eliminate outdated technology and production capacity and create green and energy-saving equipment
.
At present, APIs are gradually shifting from periodic products to high-end manufacturing, and the requirements for production equipment will also increase.
It is expected that mid-to-high-end API production equipment is expected to usher in new demand
.
From the task direction of the above-mentioned New Deal, the development of high-end production equipment and energy-saving and environmental protection equipment will be a major focus and a major trend.
In the future, the industry will accelerate its upgrade in the direction of high-efficiency, energy-saving and high-end automation
