The traditional Chinese medicine industry has a large space for development, and over the years, China has introduced a series of favorable policies to help the high-quality development
of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
According to the statistics of the national pharmaceutical industry, the main income of the Traditional Chinese medicine industry has increased from 515.
6 billion yuan in 2012 to nearly 700 billion yuan
in 2021.
At present, as the value of traditional Chinese medicine is recognized by the public again, the industry is ushering in new opportunities
for development.
However, the challenges of the Traditional Chinese medicine industry on the road of modernization and development still exist, which are concentrated in planting, processing and circulation
.
For example, in terms of planting, including mostly decentralized planting, backward overall planting technology, and low degree of mechanization; In the processing and production process, the main problems include low mechanization level, insufficient production standardization, poor safety and health conditions, etc.
, resulting in uneven quality of traditional Chinese medicine products, and also affecting the efficacy of products to a certain extent; In the circulation link, it is concentrated in the following ways: the technical level of packaging and warehousing of Chinese herbal medicines is low, and the circulation system is not perfect, so that pesticide residues, heavy metals exceed the standard, doping and counterfeiting problems
are frequent.

The industry believes that the modernization and development of the Chinese medicine industry is the trend of the times, so how to deal with the above challenges? Some analysts believe that the empowerment of traditional Chinese medicine by science and technology will help the modernization and development of traditional Chinese medicine, drive the upgrading of traditional Chinese medicine, and make traditional Chinese medicine full of vitality
in the new era.
It is understood that with the rapid development of the Internet, the Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing and other technologies, in recent years, these new technologies are playing an important role in the planting, processing and production, traceability, distribution and other aspects of Chinese herbal medicines, and promoting industrial innovation and upgrading
.
For example, in the planting stage of Chinese herbal medicines, the premise of research and development, processing and sales is planting, so many places have actively carried out the construction of Chinese herbal medicine planting bases, realized the large-scale planting pattern, and played the role of science and technology, focusing on optimizing planting methods, field production management, etc.
, to achieve a "double harvest"
of Chinese herbal medicine production and quality.
In the production stage, in order to ensure product quality and safety, processing and production technology also needs to keep up
.
With the optimization and upgrading of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment, it will help the intelligent, green and high-quality development of
the industry.
For example, many Chinese medicine enterprises use high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, meteorological chromatography-mass spectrometry, ICP-MS, high performance liquid chromatography, gene sequencer and other instruments to conduct secondary development research on products and continuously improve product quality
.
Traceability link, in order to ensure the traceability of Traditional Chinese medicine products, many places have issued documents to strengthen the construction of the traceability system of Chinese herbal medicines and Chinese medicine tablets, encourage the establishment of a full traceability system from the field to the use, and strictly monitor every process of medicinal materials, in this context, many Chinese medicine enterprises are involved in upgrading, such as building a digital platform for the traceability system of medicinal materials to ensure the quality
of drugs from the source.
In the distribution stage, under the application of the Internet, the Internet of Things and other technologies, the distribution of Traditional Chinese medicine products is more secure and safe
.
For example, in recent years, Jinan and other places have built smart Chinese medicine pharmacies, which can provide patients with one-stop services such as dispensing, decoction, packaging, distribution, etc.
Relying on the information system of smart Chinese pharmacies, each dispensing of a single drink tablet ensures that the whole process can be traced, which not only solves the problem of decoction for patients, but also saves the time
of patients waiting for drugs.

epilogue
As an important part of China's pharmaceutical industry, the traditional Chinese medicine industry is ushering in a stage of
rapid development.
Under the empowerment of science and technology, it is believed that the quality of Chinese medicine products will be continuously improved, and the innovation of Chinese medicine technology will continue to deepen, promoting the acceleration
of the development of the entire industry towards modernization.
For Traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, they need to actively embrace new technologies such as the Internet and accelerate transformation and upgrading in order to seize opportunities and obtain a new round of opportunities
