Core Conclusion - The investment logic for innovative drugs indicates that 2025 will mark a new recovery starting point for China's innovative drug industry after a deep adjustment, driven by a "triple resonance" of policy, industry, and capital [3][5][7]. Policy Insights - The Chinese government has explicitly supported innovative drugs in the 2025 Government Work Report, with subsequent policies aimed at high-quality development and commercial insurance for innovative drugs, clearing development obstacles across the entire chain [3][5]. Industry Dynamics - The internationalization process is accelerating, with the License-out model becoming a key path for value realization. In the first three quarters of 2025, upfront payments for licensing transactions reached $5.7 billion, surpassing the total for 2024 and accounting for 23.4% of the global total, indicating a significant enhancement in the global value chain position of Chinese innovative drug assets [5][7]. Capital Market Trends - After a deep adjustment from 2022 to 2024, industry valuations are returning to rational levels, with continuous improvement in the fundamentals of companies. In the first half of 2025, sales revenue from 17 commercialized innovative drug companies grew by 30% year-on-year, with leading companies like Innovent Biologics achieving profitability, marking a phase of value reassessment in the industry [7]. Market Size and Growth - The global innovative drug market is expected to reach $782.6 billion in 2024, accounting for 51.3% of the global pharmaceutical market, and is projected to grow to $1,119 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%, outpacing the overall pharmaceutical market growth of 6.4% [14].

Business Model Transformation - Chinese innovative drug companies are transitioning from a single reliance on domestic market sales to a dual-driven international strategy of "domestic sales + License-out," marking a new phase where product strength and business model innovation are equally emphasized [28][29]. Revenue Sources - The revenue sources for innovative drug companies are diversifying, including domestic insurance sales, License-out income, and overseas market sales. In 2023, insurance spending on innovative drugs reached 90 billion yuan, maintaining rapid growth since 2019 [28][29][34]. BD Model Growth - The BD (Business Development) model has become a core engine for commercialization, with the total amount of BD transactions involving Chinese innovative drug companies skyrocketing from $5.06 billion in 2020 to $41.76 billion by August 2025, indicating a fundamental shift in the industry's business model [37][38]. Key Segments to Watch - The innovative drug industry includes six key segments: small molecule drugs, large molecule drugs, cell therapy, gene therapy, mRNA vaccines, and precision medicine, each deserving in-depth research [43].

Core Insights - The report by Zhongyou Securities focuses on the development of drugs in the autoimmune (self-immune) field, analyzing market demand, dual-antibody research priorities, and related investment targets [1][3]. Market Demand - The autoimmune field has a large patient base and long medication cycles, leading to the potential for blockbuster drugs, such as Dupilumab (Dupi), which has annual sales exceeding $10 billion. Key indications like atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have millions of affected patients, with nearly 9 million patients accessible to biological agents [1][2]. - Existing therapies still have unmet needs, including the need for long-acting formulations to reduce dosing frequency and improve efficacy, as well as expanding the patient population currently limited by screening criteria [1][2]. Dual-Antibody Research Focus - From the perspective of type 2 inflammation mechanisms, targets can be categorized into upstream (e.g., TSLP, IL-33) and downstream (e.g., IL-4, IL-13). Single-target monoclonal antibodies have limited efficacy, making dual antibodies an important direction due to their synergistic effects. In respiratory diseases, the TSLP×IL-13 (or IL-4R) dual antibody shows significant advantages, with clinical data indicating better reductions in FeNO and eosinophils compared to single-target drugs [2][3]. - The report emphasizes the potential of TSLP dual antibodies, highlighting leading global progress from companies like Sanofi (Lunsekimig) and Pfizer (triple antibodies), as well as domestic advancements from companies like Kangnuo (CM512) and Innovent (IBI3002) [2][3]. Investment Targets - Key investment targets include Kangnuo (CM512), which is leading in domestic progress, Innovent (IBI3002), and Qianxin Biotechnology (QX030N), with a focus on dual-antibody development [3]. Conclusion - Overall, TSLP dual antibodies in the autoimmune field show significant potential and may become the next generation of blockbuster drugs, driven by high patient numbers and unmet medical needs [1][3].
