Panel discussion: China – What does the Future of API Production look like?

Over the past few years, China has emerged as one of the biggest and fastest emerging markets in the life science and biotechnology sector worldwide. An ageing population, along with rapid economic growth, has created a tremendous window opportunity for the active ingredients (APIs) industry. With the government determined to tighten regulations governing intellectual property rights, it is expected that the market for APIs in China is going to witness a significant boost in the coming years. Despite this, the recent COVID19 pandemic has highlighted the US and Europe’s dependence on China for consistent supplies of APIs and intermediates, with concerns on supply continuity and shortages in the spotlight, can we expect to see the West consider domestic manufacturing strategies?
