What direction does the 2021 policy of the pharmaceutical equipment industry indicate for the development of the industry?

With the current rapid development of the emerging biopharmaceutical industry and the accelerated transformation of the pharmaceutical industry, the pharmaceutical equipment industry has ushered in new opportunities
.
The data shows that the size of China's pharmaceutical equipment market will be 35.
87 billion yuan in 2020, and it is expected to continue to grow in the future.
In 2021, China's pharmaceutical equipment market will reach 39.
49 billion yuan and will further reach 44.
36 billion yuan in 2022
.
At the same time, how to promote the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry is a major issue
.
To this end, since 2021, China has also issued a series of industry-related policies to support industrial transformation and upgrading.
From this, we can see that these policies have pointed out the direction for the future development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry
.
Pharmaceutical equipment (picture source: Pharmaceutical Network) Innovation is a major theme.
This year is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan".
According to China's 14th Five-Year Plan and the 2035 long-term goal outline released in March 2021, innovation is an important content.

.
Among them, it is proposed to cultivate advanced manufacturing clusters and promote the innovative development of integrated circuits, aerospace, marine and marine engineering equipment, robots, advanced rail transit equipment, advanced power equipment, engineering machinery, high-end CNC machine tools, medicine and medical equipment
.
As an important member of the manufacturing industry, innovation is a major theme in the development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry, and it is also the main driving force for the development of the enterprise
.
In recent years, some powerful pharmaceutical equipment companies in China have gradually achieved a series of innovative results from imitating foreign technology products, combining imitation and innovation, and then carrying out independent innovative research and development by increasing R&D investment
.
However, from the perspective of the overall technical level, domestic pharmaceutical equipment is mainly concentrated in low-end and low-level manufacturing.
Only by accelerating the transformation and upgrading from low-end to mid-to-high-end in the future can the industry promote high-quality and healthy development
.
With the advancement of the above-mentioned favorable policies, it will help to force domestic pharmaceutical equipment companies to innovate and upgrade, and accelerate the process of domestic substitution of imports
.
The level of automation, digitization, and intelligence still needs to be improved.
In August 2021, the "Notice on Several Measures to Support the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry" was released, proposing to continue to promote technological transformation
.
Including increasing the intensity of technological transformation, using modern biotechnology to improve traditional processes, strengthening the research and application of key technologies in pharmaceutical processes, and improving the automation, digitization, and intelligence level of pharmaceutical equipment
.
In addition, in September 2021, the Action Plan to Make the Pharmaceutical Industry Bigger and Stronger (2021-2023) also mentioned that it is necessary to promote the digitalization of the pharmaceutical industry, empower pharmaceutical manufacturing with a new generation of information technology, and enhance the automation of pharmaceutical equipment.
, Digital and intelligent level
.
It can be seen from the above documents that the improvement of automation, digitization, and intelligence is still the main direction for the next development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry
.
In fact, entering the digital age, and in the context of intelligent manufacturing trends, raw material costs and labor costs continue to rise, pharmaceutical equipment companies to eliminate outdated production capacity, to improve the level of automation and intelligence has become imminent, especially since 2020, in some cases In the case of limited production capacity of pharmaceutical companies, the advantages of highly automated and intelligent equipment have become more prominent, further improving production efficiency, meeting market demand, and reducing corporate costs
.
Green and environmental protection have become the main theme of the industry.
In November 2021, the two ministries and commissions issued the "Notice on Promoting the Implementation Plan Conducive to the High-quality Development of the Industry" and the "Major Project for the High-quality Development of APIs".
Approve high-value-added and high-growth varieties, break through a batch of green and low-carbon technology and equipment, break through the bottleneck of industrial development, and improve the level of independent supporting of the industrial chain
.
Major projects include the upgrading of high-end production equipment and the upgrading of energy-saving and environmental protection equipment
.
Judging from these two documents, green, low-carbon, high-end equipment with a high level of automation will be the next direction for the API equipment industry to continue its efforts and research
.
The industry pointed out that APIs are gradually shifting from periodic products to high-end manufacturing, and the requirements for production equipment will also increase.
It is expected that the demand for high-end API production equipment will continue to grow
.
In this context, companies that seize the main theme of development for layout are expected to get opportunities
.
Conclusion To sum up, the future development direction of the pharmaceutical equipment industry will mainly focus on automation, intelligence, digitization, and environmental protection.
A new round of growth has arrived.
In the face of this fresh cake, pharmaceutical equipment companies need to follow Only by tightening policy trends and industry development directions, advancing with the times, bravely facing challenges, and constantly making breakthroughs, can we have a better future
