The domestic market size of drug packaging machinery and equipment exceeds 20 billion, and the high-end market needs to be explored

Pharmaceutical equipment industry belongs to the upstream of the pharmaceutical industry. According to the different application scenarios of the downstream, it can be divided into bulk drug machinery, preparation machinery, pharmaceutical grinding machinery, decoction piece machinery, pharmaceutical water equipment, drug packaging machinery, pharmaceutical testing equipment and other pharmaceutical equipment.

In terms of the market share of main equipment, China's pharmaceutical equipment market is mainly drug packaging machinery and equipment, accounting for 55.70% of the market.

This paper mainly analyzes the development status and future development trend of pharmaceutical packaging machinery industry.

Great development potential

Drugs are special commodities related to human health and safety, and packaging is not only an important embodiment of product appearance, but also can better ensure the integrity of internal products, so drug packaging is of great significance to the drug industry.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical market, the pharmaceutical packaging machinery industry continues to obtain new opportunities. At the same time, with the increasingly fierce competition in the pharmaceutical market, the packaging of drugs is more and more valued by pharmaceutical enterprises. Especially in the trend of prescription outflow, the attraction of drug packaging to customers further affects their consumption choices, so it is again raised to an important position by relevant enterprises. In this context, the pharmaceutical packaging machinery and equipment industry has ushered in rapid development, and the market size is expected to continue to grow. For example, Case packers for drugs, robot packing system for drugs and case erector for drugs.

The industry forecasts that by 2021, the market size of China's pharmaceutical equipment can reach about 40 billion yuan, based on which, the market size of drug packaging machinery and equipment is about 22.28 billion yuan.

From the current development of the pharmaceutical packaging machinery industry, like the entire pharmaceutical equipment industry, the industry presents a fierce market competition, dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, the competition pattern is still relatively scattered. But this also means that domestic drug packaging machinery and equipment industry has greater development potential. We have found a increasing need for case sealer , pick and place dugs packer , auto drug box folding machine needs.

In addition, in the low-end field, some domestic drug packaging machinery and equipment still have low production efficiency, low stability, parts standardization is relatively low, in the high-end field is the lack of comparable products with imported equipment, so there is room for development of domestic drug packaging machinery and equipment.

Future Development Trend

On the one hand, the process of domestic substitution for imports will be accelerated. Imported drug packaging machinery and equipment due to early start, rich experience, in the past in China's high-end drug packaging machinery and equipment market has occupied the main market share, and in order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the production line, the domestic pharmaceutical companies often will give priority to the high-end imported machinery with high prices.

In recent years, with the rapid development of domestic pharmaceutical packaging industry, as well as the native medicine package machinery enterprises continuously pursued, increasing r&d input, constantly improve its research and development strength, innovation level, technology level from generic toward the research and development of independent innovation, and constantly enrich product categories and gradually narrow the gap with imported equipment, In the future, it is expected to win the favor of the market by virtue of its advantages such as high cost performance and convenient maintenance, and gradually replace imports in the middle and high-end fields to explore more space for development.

On the other hand, from the perspective of industry development trend, with the implementation of the new drug Management Law and other new regulations, pharmaceutical enterprises are facing more stringent requirements. In order to improve the quality and safety of drugs, intelligent packaging will become a very important development trend of drug packaging design in the future. In fact, "Made in China 2025" has already pointed out the direction of automation and intelligent transformation and upgrading for pharmaceutical equipment. As an important part of pharmaceutical equipment, it is also urgent to upgrade toward automation and intelligent direction.

The application of intelligent technology will "empower" the innovation of drug packaging machinery and equipment. Is understood to have drug packaging machinery equipment manufacturer for drug companies provide a full solution of pharmaceutical packaging equipment, greatly improved the production efficiency and reduce the cost of enterprise, to make each rapid cartoning machine production efficiency increased by 100%, the energy consumption was reduced by 50% and energy cost was reduced by 15%, the personnel cost decreased by 50%, downtime by 20%.

Summary

With the increasingly severe competition environment in the pharmaceutical market, drug packaging will play a very important role in the promotion of product sales, quality and safety. At present, China's drug packaging industry has been developed rapidly, but there are still some gaps compared with the level of foreign developed countries. In this context, China's drug packaging machinery and equipment industry also needs to continue efforts to develop in the direction of more intelligent and information technology, to help improve the level of drug packaging in China, so as to improve the competitive strength of Chinese pharmaceutical products in the international market.
