The total Chinese pharmaceutical market reached RMB 828.4 billion (US$ 120.8 billion, at an exchange rate of US $1 = RMB 6.83) with an annual growth rate of 26.50% in 2008. The growth rate, as well as the absolute size of the rapidly-expanding Chinese pharmaceutical market, is remarkable and the categorization of the Chinese pharmaceutical market as one of the “emerging pharmaceutical market” will need to be reconsidered.
Many pharmaceutical companies have realized this and are focusing on the Chinese market to support future growth. To capitalize on this market, pharma companies need reliable hospital drug utilization data from China.
