China's healthcare and pharmaceutical landscape is looking at promising new healthcare reforms in the coming years as the government looks to provide quality healthcare to its population's increasing demand. On March 5, 2021, the government announced institutional healthcare reforms in line with China's 14th Five Year Plan (2021-2025).
The government has also highlighted a detailed roadmap for enhancing the overall quality of healthcare in the country while also expanding the necessary services in this sector. With generic drugs being the mainstay of the country's population, generics accounted for nearly 65% of the overall pharmaceutical industry in 2020. While growth in the pharmaceutical industry is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic highs, China will continue to remain one of the biggest markets for drugmakers worldwide.
