As early as the 1980s, the global market size of gastric ulcer drugs exceeded USD 8 billion. In 1988, Swedish company Astra (now known as AstraZeneca) developed a new anti-ulcer drug - proton pump inhibitor Omeprazole (trade name: Losec). Omeprazole, able to inhibit gastric acid secretion and relieve gastralgia, gastrectasia and other symptoms in a short period of time, became popular among ulcer patients immediately after it was marketed. At the end of the 20th century, the annual sales value of Omeprazole once hit a record high of USD 6.26 billion.
Chinese pharmaceutical companies began to imitate Omeprazole API in 1992, after which a large number of generic drugs were put on the market. With the launch of generic Omeprazole in China, Chinese pharmaceutical companies keep scrambling for market share from AstraZeneca. Overall, the market size of Omeprazole in China is growing, with the sales value exceeding CNY 1.3 billion in 2017. Although there are many anti-ulcer drugs on the market, because of good effects, Omeprazole stands out from its many competitors and secures its leading role. As the lifestyle changes, the number of patients with gastric ulcer continues to rise in China. In the next few years, Omeprazole will still have certain growth potential in China.

Methodology
Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.
Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.
Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.
The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.
The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.
1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
5. Inside and outside the industry, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, show inner competitions
6. Proper estimation of the future is good guidance for strategic planning.
