Some API enterprises have gradually shifted their R&D and production focuses to the high value-added characteristic APIs, and customized APIs and intermediates in recent years under the influence of the increasingly tightened environmental protection policy and decline of export prices due to excess capacity. And driven by policies such as generic drug quality and efficacy consistency evaluation of oral preparations and pharmaceutical product procurement with target quantity, high-quality low-priced APIs become a key link for preparation enterprises to have the initiative in hands in future market. And the competition of API enterprises has been extending to the downstream industrial chain. With the penetration of such competitiveness, CPhI China, a globally well-known pharmaceutical trade platform, has already been exploiting and extending the upstream and downstream industrial chains over the years, and has now included 8 blocks covering APIs, fine chemical and intermediates, pharmaceutical excipients, preparations, contract research, biopharmaceuticals, natural extracts, and animal health and feed, and become a professional platform that provides integration for API enterprises to optimize industrial chain layout.
