CPHI China opens for international partnering after China rises in CPHI Index
The CPHI China Hosted Buyer Programme is empowering new partnering in China
8th June, 2022, Shanghai: CPHI & P-MEC China opens its online international partnering platform as pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries in the country report strong underlying conditions and see increases in all categories of the most recent CPHI Pharma Index[1] – an annual score of each country’s pharma industry strength – with its overall score rising by 7.2%, the largest increase of any nation.
The two-month digital partnering platform takes on increased importance with the postponement of the in-person exhibition until December (20th-22nd) 2022. CPHI & P-MEC China’s online event opened on April 21st and will continue until June 30th 2022 and is designed to empower international companies by helping them pre-select new partners and begin discussions earlier.

In fact, to help our international attendees meet with the right contacts we also offer a Hosted Buyer Programme, with our teams taking a brief and selecting the best partners for any international buyer’s needs. High quality partners are in great demand and we wanted to simplify process of nurturing new contacts,” commented Laura Murina, Brand Manager at CPHI & P-MEC China.
China recorded the largest year-on-year gains in the CPHI Pharma Index[2] for ‘solid dose manufacturing innovation’, ‘quality of bioprocessing’ and ‘API manufacturing’ – with rises of 9.5%, 11% and 7.4% respectively – and international companies should anticipate the need to source partners much earlier as demand rises. Further fuelling competition for the best manufacturing partners is the increasing numbers of biotechs in the country and the MAH (Marketing Authorization Holder) programme.
