Chapter 1 Industry Overview

Biopharmaceutical technology has emerged in the past twenty years, and is a new generation of pharmaceutical technology represented by genetic recombination and monoclonal technology. Modern biopharmaceuticals are the direct product of the biotechnology revolution in the 1970s. Different from traditional biotechnology such as fermentation, it mainly includes drugs produced by biotechnology such as gene recombination technology, cell engineering, antibody engineering, etc. It can usually be divided into several major types according to nature and biotechnology: vaccines, antibodies, blood products, recombinant proteins, polypeptides, , gene therapy drugs, cell therapy drugs, etc. In the field of biopharmaceuticals, therapeutic antibodies, most recombinant proteins and peptides, and some Class II vaccine varieties have the characteristics of large market space and high technical barriers, which are currently the hot topics of domestic research and development and market attention.

Genetic engineering, cell engineering, protein engineering, enzyme engineering and fermentation engineering are collectively called "five major projects of biotechnology". The five major projects are closely related to the preparation and production of biological products. In these five major fields, the role of genetic engineering and cellular engineering is to use conventional bacteria as a receptor for specific genetic material, and by binding foreign genes, it becomes a new species that can express specific polypeptides or proteins - "engineered bacteria" or "engineered cell lines". The role of protein engineering, enzyme engineering and fermentation engineering is to create good growth and reproduction conditions suitable for new species, realize large-scale cultivation, so as to fully utilize the inherent potential of new species and provide huge economic and social benefits to mankind.

.2.2 Industry risk analysis and risk management

) Macroeconomic risk: Due to the rigidity of medicine itself, macroeconomic fluctuations will not have a great impact on China's biopharmaceutical industry.

) Risk of policy change: The biopharmaceutical industry is a high-tech industry that the state supports and develops, and the country has provided active support and encouragement in terms of industrial policies. Judging from the current situation, there is little possibility of adverse policy changes in the development of the biopharmaceutical industry.

) Technology R&D Risk: New drug research and development and in-depth development of existing drugs must go through preclinical research, clinical trials, application and registration, and approved production. There are many links and a long development cycle, and are easily affected by unpredictable factors, and there are risks of technology development.

) Market competition risk: With the continuous growth of my country's economy in recent years, the improvement of residents' income level and the continuous improvement of biotechnology level, my country's biopharmaceutical industry has shown a rapid development momentum. The strong growth momentum and huge development potential of the domestic biopharmaceutical market have also attracted the entry of foreign biopharmaceutical companies. However, with the continuous addition of new competitors and the continuous launch of similar products, the industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and biopharmaceutical companies are facing the risk of increasing market competition.

) Environmental protection risks: With the transformation of the national economic growth model and the full implementation of the sustainable development strategy, people's environmental awareness has gradually increased, national environmental protection policies are becoming increasingly perfect, environmental pollution control standards are increasing, and environmental protection governance costs in the industry will continue to increase.If the country introduces stricter environmental protection standards in the future, it may lead to further increase environmental protection investment and environmental protection governance expenses, thereby affecting the profitability of enterprises.

) Management Risk: In recent years, with the rapid expansion of the market size and asset scale of the biopharmaceutical industry, the operating scale and asset scale of many enterprises have reached a new level, which has put forward newer and higher requirements for the management of various enterprises. If the management of the enterprise fails to improve its management level in a timely manner and establish a more scientific and effective management system, rapid development will put the enterprise at management risks.

.3 Competition Analysis

A few developed countries occupy an absolute proportion in the global biomedical market and dominate the industry. The total number of biotech companies in the world has reached 4,362, of which 76% are concentrated in Europe and the United States. The sales of European and American companies account for 93% of global biotech companies, while the sales of Asia-Pacific region only account for about 3% of the world. The United States is the leader in the biotechnology industry, and its products and market sales account for more than 70% of the world. With the influence of factors such as the development of my country's economy, changes in living environment, changes in people's health concepts, and the acceleration of population aging, the biopharmaceutical industry, which is closely related to human quality of life, has maintained a continuous growth trend in recent years. At present, the industry has become one of the fastest growing industries in the world. As the world's second largest economy, my country has also played a positive role in the field of biopharmaceuticals.

Chapter 4 Future Outlook

The future development trend of the biotechnology industry will be as follows:

. The biotechnology industry has begun to enter the stage of large-scale industrialization

At present, China's biotechnology industry has begun to take shape, industrial agglomeration layout has been initially formed, and various sub-sectors have developed rapidly. The scale of the biopharmaceutical industry continues to expand, and the economic and social effects of bioagriculture continue to increase.

. Social demand has become an important factor driving the development of the biotechnology industry

Currently, China's population aging is accelerating, the environmental pollution situation is severe, and the reduction of cultivated land area has increased the society's demand for the biotechnology industry. Population aging increases the incidence of chronic diseases, the demand for medical products is increasing, and the biopharmaceutical industry is showing a rapid growth momentum.

. Technology breakthroughs will promote a new round of industrial transformation

Technology is the most basic driving force for the development of the biotechnology industry and a necessary condition for the growth of the bioeconomic. The ability to continuously technological innovation is the core competitiveness of biotechnology enterprises. At present, China's lack of independent innovation capabilities in biotechnology restricts the process of technological industrialization. Improving the international competitiveness of China's biotechnology industry, strengthening technological research and development, and enhancing the industry's independent innovation capabilities are the key to the future development of the industry. In the future, biotechnology represented by gene sequencing, synthetic biotechnology, liquid biopsy, cell immunotherapy, biological big data, biosimilars, etc. will promote a new round of industrial transformation.

. The financing channels are broadened, and capital helps the industry to continue to develop

Biotechnology research and development is a complex system project that integrates knowledge and technologies in disciplines such as molecular biology and genomics. It has the characteristics of high investment, high returns, high risks and long cycles. Biological enterprises need to continuously increase their investment in scientific research, but they cannot achieve revenue in the short term and face the problem of difficulty in financing.

. The division of labor in the industry is becoming increasingly refined

The biological industry chain involves a wide range of technology and complexity, strong professionalism, and high industry barriers. With the expansion of the scale of the biological industry, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and there is a clear division of labor in the industrial chain. For example, in the biopharmaceutical industry, in order to maintain the sustainability of new drug research and development, improve operational efficiency, and save costs, many large pharmaceutical companies outsource some non-core R&D links, and contracts entrusted R&D companies to be born due to the luck. In addition, biomedical production, market sales and other links are gradually provided with relevant supporting services by emerging CMO and CSO companies. Through contract research and development, contract production and other forms, the division of labor in the biological industry is becoming increasingly refined, and a complete industrial chain is gradually formed.

. Mergers and acquisitions will be an inevitable trend

The biological industry has the characteristics of high investment, high returns, high risks and long cycles, and high investment is required as a condition for the entry and sustainable development of the industry. In order to cope with the increasingly fierce competition in the industry and enhance their competitiveness and market share, more and more powerful companies have acquired new technologies and new products through mergers and acquisitions. As the scale of the biological industry increases, inter-enterprise mergers and acquisitions will be an inevitable trend.
