美国“关税”冲击，中国医药产业影响几何

Group 1 - The U.S. government has implemented a 10% "minimum benchmark tariff" on trade partners, with certain exemptions for pharmaceuticals and other products [1][2] - The pharmaceutical sector has reacted negatively in the market, with significant declines in various related sectors, including medical services and biopharmaceuticals, with drops ranging from 9.55% to 14.69% [1] - The exemption of pharmaceuticals from the tariff is due to the high reliance of the U.S. on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), with 80% of APIs sourced from abroad [2][3] Group 2 - Local pharmaceutical companies have reported minimal impact from the tariff changes, as the tariffs do not apply to innovative drug licensing and trade [5][6] - Companies like Mindray Medical and others have proactively prepared for potential tariff impacts by adjusting their supply chains and inventory strategies [6][5] - The focus on high-quality innovation is emphasized as a key strategy for the Chinese pharmaceutical industry to navigate the challenges posed by tariffs and global competition [8][7] Group 3 - The number of innovative drugs developed by Chinese companies is rapidly increasing, with projections indicating that by the end of 2024, there will be 3,575 active innovative drugs, surpassing the U.S. [7] - Chinese pharmaceutical companies are actively expanding into international markets, with significant license-out transactions and collaborations with multinational corporations [7][8] - The "NewCo" model is emerging as a viable path for Chinese biopharmaceutical companies to innovate and expand internationally, despite geopolitical challenges [8]
