The total Chinese pharmaceutical market reached RMB 828.4 billion (US$ 120.8 billion, at an exchange rate of US $1 = RMB 6.83) with an annual growth rate of 26.50% in 2008. The growth rate, as well as the absolute size of the rapidly-expanding Chinese pharmaceutical market, is remarkable and the categorization of the Chinese pharmaceutical market as one of the “emerging pharmaceutical market” will need to be reconsidered. Many pharmaceutical companies have realized this and are focusing on the Chinese market to support future growth.

Even though the current Chinese pharmaceutical market is still mainly a generic market, many innovative drugs have been rapidly up-taken by large Chinese hospitals in major cities. Some of highly-priced oncology drugs such as erlotinib and trastuzumab, have made the list of top 20 cancer drugs (by sales) in the last few years.

Annual drug sales in each of cancer, blood diseases, liver diseases, dermatoses, hypertension, diabetes, dementia, and hyperlipidemics passed US $1 billion in 2008. Sales of cancer drugs in the Chinese hospital market reached US $4.6 billion, followed by blood products with sales of U.S $4.0 billion. Drug sales in most therapeutic areas enjoyed double digit growth rates in 2008 with the exception of skin disease, eye disease, allergy and BPH, drug sales.
