Summary of the Experimental Monkey Market Conference Call Industry Overview - The experimental monkey market has faced a continuous supply shortage since 2020, primarily due to depleted inventories, pandemic-related import/export restrictions, and aging breeding stock leading to decreased reproduction rates. The current annual supply is approximately 30,000 monkeys, with a shortfall exceeding 40,000 monkeys. Although some relief is expected in 2025, suitable monkeys will still be in short supply [1][4][7]. Key Points and Arguments - **Supply and Demand Dynamics**: The production of experimental monkeys has stabilized around 30,000 annually over the past three years, with a slight increase expected in 2025. However, quality control measures reduce the usable quantity to about 25,000 [1][5]. The demand for monkeys significantly decreased in 2023 but is projected to rebound in 2024 and reach over 35,000 in 2025, indicating a gradual recovery in market demand [6][7]. - **Price Fluctuations**: The price of experimental monkeys has experienced significant volatility. Prices surged from 30,000 RMB in 2020 to around 200,000 RMB by mid-2022, then dropped to approximately 60,000-70,000 RMB in mid-2023. A slight rebound occurred in the latter half of 2023, stabilizing around 80,000-90,000 RMB in 2024, with some regions exceeding 100,000 RMB in 2025 [2][8]. - **Market Concentration**: The domestic experimental animal industry is characterized by high supply-side concentration, with large enterprises acquiring monkey breeding resources, thus controlling pricing. Many companies rely on market purchases, exacerbating supply tightness [3][11]. - **Aging Population and Reproduction Challenges**: The domestic monkey population is aging, with over 40% being older than 15 years. The birth rate is only about 30%, and the cost of importing new breeding stock is high, posing challenges for future supply [10][12]. - **Regional Breeding Bases**: Major breeding bases are concentrated in southern China, particularly in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Yunnan. Many of these have been acquired or restructured by listed companies, leading to limited available resources and price volatility [14][15]. Additional Important Insights - **Impact of Export Policies**: If China allows the export of experimental monkeys, it could significantly benefit breeding units but may reduce domestic orders from CRO companies. Historically, the U.S. was a major buyer, and resuming exports could alleviate domestic supply pressures while increasing prices [8][9]. - **Future Trends**: The market is expected to remain tight in the long term, with high prices limiting project initiation. However, the increasing number of CRO companies handling foreign orders presents a more optimistic market outlook for 2025 [7][11]. - **Technological Developments**: New methodologies and AI-driven approaches are being explored to replace traditional animal testing, but full implementation is expected to take at least 10 years. Current technologies can partially substitute for primate use, but significant challenges remain [19][20]. This summary encapsulates the current state and future outlook of the experimental monkey market, highlighting critical supply-demand dynamics, pricing trends, and industry challenges.
