2024年及2025年一季度，疫苗行业均呈现比较严重的下滑趋势。从财务数据看，行业总营收从2020年的 1060亿元增至2023年的1637亿元，年均复合增长率达11.5%，2021年同比增速更达34.5%。然而2024 年，行业总营收骤降至1283亿元，同比下滑21.6%，为近五年首次负增长，显示行业进入调整期。 从利润表现看，行业净利润在2021年达到309亿元峰值后持续下滑，2024年降至120亿元，较峰值缩水 61%，同时盈利质量出现恶化迹象，净利润率从2021年的21.7%降至2024年的9.4%，成本压力显著抬 升。主要原因在于疫苗渠道库存压力较大，导致企业发货受到不利影响以及2价HPV疫苗、PCV13、 Vero细胞狂苗等竞争格局趋于激烈。 个股方面，头部企业业绩分化现象显著。其中，天坛生物、西藏药业逆势突围，天坛生物2024年营收60 亿元，同比增长17.6%；净利润15亿元，同比增长36.4%，毛利率提升至54%。西藏药业2024年净利润10 亿元，同比增长25%，毛利率连续三年超94%。 而智飞生物、万泰生物受HPV疫苗市场竞争加剧及集采影响业绩均出现大幅下滑。智飞生物2023年营收 52 ...

疫苗接种情况不理想，给疫苗企业收入带来很大挑战，而存货跌价损失、应收账款减值产生的信用减值 损失，又在进一步吞噬着企业利润。 疫苗行业还未走出业绩低谷期。 2024年，A股疫苗板块内的14家企业，有12家企业归属于上市公司股东的净利润出现下滑。到了2025年 一季度，仍有8家企业归属于上市公司股东的净利润在下滑，占了板块数量一半以上。 具体看，这8家企业分别是万泰生物（603392.SH）、智飞生物（300122.SZ）、百克生物 （688276.SH）、康华生物（300841.SZ）、沃森生物（300142.SZ）、康泰生物（300601.SZ）、华兰疫 苗（301207.SZ）、成大生物（688739.SH），其中前5家企业归属于上市公司的净利润降幅超过八成。 智飞生物表示，营收下降，是由于本期市场推广工作未达预期，销售收入减少所致。2025年第一季度， 智飞生物的资产减值损失达到3833.61万元，较上一年同期的102.85万元大幅攀升，公司亦解释称，主要 是计提存货跌价准备增加所致。 据第一财经记者统计，上述8家2025年一季报业绩下滑的疫苗企业，有6家企业均列出了资产减值损失和 信用减值损失（包含应 ...
