Group 3: Reasons for Revenue Slowdown - The slowdown in revenue growth is linked to the DRG reform, which has introduced a competitive pricing mechanism that pressures hospitals and healthcare providers to reduce costs [15][19]. - The DRG reform has resulted in a decrease in average hospitalization costs, which has negatively impacted hospital revenues and, consequently, the upstream pharmaceutical sector [14][15]. Group 4: Impact of DRG Reform - The DRG payment model emphasizes standardized clinical value over individual physician decision-making, which is expected to accelerate the growth of innovative pharmaceuticals while putting pressure on traditional hospital revenue streams [24][25]. - The reform is likely to create a more competitive environment among hospitals, potentially leading to the exit of less efficient operators from the market [23][36]. Group 5: Future Outlook - Despite the current challenges, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to eventually return to a stable growth trajectory as the pressures from the DRG reform ease and new growth drivers emerge [20][36]. - The focus on clinical value is anticipated to foster innovation in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, particularly for those that can demonstrate significant clinical benefits [28][32].
