"The end of more than 20 years of pilot projects" will focus the entire pharmaceutical industry on the field of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules
.
Chinese medicine formula granules, different from traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, have the characteristics of good quality, good curative effect and convenient taking, and can better meet the needs of the modern market
.
In recent years, a series of favorable policies have supported the development of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules.
The 100 billion market has pressed the "acceleration button" of development, and it is expected to usher in a new round of expansion in the future
.
In the face of huge opportunities, how to seize the beach will be a major challenge for pharmaceutical companies

Chinese herbal formula granules are granules prepared by extracting and concentrating single-flavored Chinese herbal medicine pieces according to traditional standards, and are used for clinical formulation of Chinese medicine.
rhythm of life
.
In recent years, with the aging of the population and the improvement of residents' awareness of health care, the market demand for traditional Chinese medicine formula granules has continued to expand.
It is estimated that by 2030, its market size will reach 100 billion yuan
.
At the same time, the traditional Chinese medicine formula granule industry is receiving multiple favorable policies, and the industry believes that the entire market is expected to usher in a new round of expansion in the future
.
First, the "Key Tasks for Deepening the Reform of the Medical and Health System in 2017" clearly requires that the comprehensive reform of public hospitals should be comprehensively implemented, and all public hospitals should abolish drug additions, except for Chinese herbal medicines
.
Chinese herbal decoction pieces (including Chinese herbal formula granules) are exempt from "zero mark-up" in the hospital and can be sold at a 25% price increase
.
Second, starting from November 1, 2021, the completion of more than 20 years of pilot work of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules will be officially implemented.
Since then, the production of formula granule enterprises will have a "national standard", and the industry threshold under high standards will be greatly improved.
It is beneficial
.
Up to now, 200 national standards for formula granules have been published, and another batch of national quality standards for formula granules is being announced
.
In addition to the national standard, provincial standards are also being released one after another
.
According to industry statistics, as of now, 11 provinces have released 200 or more provincial formula granule standards, superimposed 200 national standards, and the total standard has reached more than 400
.
Third, the national standard varieties of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules are accelerating their inclusion in medical insurance
.
For example, recently, the Anhui Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau issued a notice that 343 traditional Chinese medicine formula granules were officially included in the province's medical insurance
.
Among them, 196 traditional Chinese medicine formula granules that meet the national standard and have obtained the national medical insurance code will be implemented from August 1, 2022; the other 147 traditional Chinese medicine formula granules that meet the provincial standard and have not yet obtained the code will be assigned by the state.
Execute later
.
It is reported that since 2020, the province has included some traditional Chinese medicine formula granules in six batches in accordance with the principle of "determining varieties, enterprises, and institutions" into the scope of medical insurance payment
.
The industry believes that the overall decline in the national standard varieties of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules after entering the medical insurance will not be very large
.
With the normalization of centralized procurement, it is expected that the impact of centralized procurement on traditional Chinese medicine granules will be relatively small in the future
.
Intelligent manufacturing will help pharmaceutical companies activate the "development password"

Although the market space of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules is huge and promising, but standing on this outlet, pharmaceutical companies still face many challenges to grab the beach
.
For example, after the release of the national standard for traditional Chinese medicine formula granules, higher requirements have been placed on the quality control of all links in the entire industrial chain of formula granules.
How to ensure the quality of formula granule products is a major challenge
.
In addition, when formula granules are included in centralized procurement, through the principle of exchanging price for quantity, corporate profits may decline, and how to control costs is also a problem, which is also an important link for the sustainable development of the winning company
.
The industry believes that with the development of science and technology, intelligent manufacturing will help pharmaceutical companies activate the "development password".
Through automated, intelligent and information-based production and testing equipment for traditional Chinese medicine formula granules, it can help pharmaceutical companies improve production efficiency and reduce labor input.
And through the MES system for product quality control and traceability, to ensure that the quality of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules is more stable and controllable
.
It is reported that at present, some pharmaceutical companies have improved the traditional Chinese medicine production mode.
Through intelligent transformation and construction, the capacity of the original annual output of 3,000 tons of formula granules has been gradually increased to an annual output of 6,000 tons of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules.
The equipment utilization rate and the energy consumption per unit output value are reduced by 26.
82% compared with those before the transformation, the production efficiency is increased by 32.
44%, and the operating cost is reduced by 26.
27%
