The number of innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs is growing "blowout", this field may benefit

Chinese patent medicine is attracting more and more attention due to its unique advantages in the treatment of intractable diseases and chronic diseases
.
In recent years, with the blessing of favorable policies, more and more traditional Chinese medicine companies have stepped up the research and development of new traditional Chinese medicines

The number of innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs has increased in a "blowout" manner, and this field may benefit (Photo source: Pharmaceutical Network) Statistics show that the State Food and Drug Administration has approved 17 innovative traditional Chinese medicine drug approvals in the four years from 2017 to 2021.
In 2021, the approval speed of innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs will be significantly accelerated, and a total of 11 innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs have been approved for marketing
.
In addition, entering 2022, there are also news that many innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs have been approved for marketing
.
According to the forecast of Huaan Securities, the approval and listing of new Chinese medicines will be accelerated in the future, and the number of listings may exceed 20 each year
.
However, the approval of a new drug is only a basic step, and subsequent related companies still need to face challenges in production, commercialization, and marketing
.
For example, in the production stage, the investment of corresponding equipment and the support of experienced talents are needed to ensure the stable operation of production; in the commercialization stage, how to quickly open the market for products is a problem that enterprises need to think about
.
It is foreseeable that behind the "blowout" growth in the number of innovative Chinese medicine drugs, the field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment may benefit
.
Some medical professionals told relevant media that it may take several years for a new drug to be approved, marketed, and released in large quantities
.
In the process of product production, the support of corresponding production equipment is inseparable
.
For example, traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment, which is a kind of equipment that extracts the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, plays an important role in the production of traditional Chinese medicine
.
With the rapid development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry and the continuous approval of innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs, the traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment industry is expected to gain opportunities
.
According to data, the market size of traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment in 2021 is 35.
5 billion yuan, and it is expected to grow to 53.
9 billion yuan by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.
7%.

.
It is worth mentioning that the degree of intelligence, digitization, automation and informatization of traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment is closely related to the efficiency and quality of traditional Chinese medicine extraction
.
With the continuous improvement of the quality and efficacy requirements of traditional Chinese medicines and the stricter supervision, the process and control technology of traditional Chinese medicine extraction are also facing the challenge of upgrading
.
It is understood that a number of intelligent Chinese medicine extraction equipment have appeared on the market at present, which can automate the control of the extraction process through informatization and digitization, and realize the management informatization, equipment automation, and standardization of personnel operations throughout the production process
.
With the application and promotion of more intelligent equipment, it will help to improve the production efficiency of modern Chinese medicine extraction and provide more support for the production of innovative Chinese medicines
.
In addition, under the circumstance of high enthusiasm for the research and development of innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs, due to the characteristics of high risk and high investment in new drug research and development, related companies that provide services for the research and development of innovative traditional Chinese medicine drugs are also expected to gain new opportunities.
will expand
.
It is reported that a company specializing in the research and development of innovative Chinese medicines said that at present, it has built a large extraction workshop with GMP production conditions in the CDMO sector, equipped with pretreatment equipment for Chinese herbal medicines, dynamic extraction tanks for Chinese medicines, single and double-effect concentrators, and spray drying.
Towers, tubular centrifuges, large-diameter resin chromatography column equipment
.
Facing the future, the company will continue to increase investment in talent introduction, technology research and development and equipment to provide better services for the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine
.
Some people in the industry believe that in the next 3 to 5 years, the innovative Chinese medicine sector will usher in a good opportunity
.
In this context, the traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment industry in the traditional Chinese medicine innovative drug industry chain is also worthy of attention
