Biopharmaceutical equipment Pharmaceutical special equipment refers to the mechanical equipment used in the production, inspection, and packaging of pharmaceuticals. The development level of pharmaceutical equipment is related to the level of pharmaceutical technology and drug quality in my country. Therefore, the development of the pharmaceutical special equipment industry is prepared Received the attention of the industry.

According to the industry classification standard of the National Bureau of Statistics, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing belongs to a sub-industry of special equipment manufacturing. Compared with the downstream pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, although the profitability of the pharmaceutical equipment industry is low, it is significantly higher than that of the entire special equipment manufacturing industry. Other data show that in 2017, the revenue from the main business of pharmaceutical companies increased by 2.3% compared with the previous year, and the revenue from the main business of various sub-industries also increased. Among them, the main business income of pharmaceutical special equipment manufacturing was 18.67 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%. It can be seen that the pharmaceutical special equipment manufacturing industry is developing rapidly, and it also represents a certain prospect for the industry in the future.

So, what is the development status of my country's pharmaceutical special equipment manufacturing industry? At present, the domestic pharmaceutical equipment market has various product categories and complete specifications. According to the classification of pharmaceutical machinery products, they can be divided into raw material medicine machinery and equipment, preparation machinery and equipment, medicinal crushing machinery, decoction pieces machinery, pharmaceutical water treatment equipment, and pharmaceutical packaging Machinery, drug testing equipment, other pharmaceutical machinery and equipment parts and other categories, totaling more than 3,000 specifications, are widely used in all aspects of drug production such as traditional Chinese medicine, chemical medicine, and biological preparations. Among them, preparation machinery and equipment have a wide range of applications and a large number, such as crushing equipment, mixing equipment, granulating equipment, drying equipment, tablet pressing equipment, etc., which are common preparation equipment in pharmaceutical factories and very familiar in the industry.
However, the current concentration of the industry is still low, and market competition is fierce. Most of the domestic pharmaceutical machinery companies are mainly small and medium-sized, and some listed companies engaged in medical equipment are involved in part of the pharmaceutical equipment business. The overall market is "small, scattered, and chaotic", focusing on the number of listed companies in the field of pharmaceutical equipment less.

At the same time, domestic pharmaceutical equipment mainly competes with low prices and low technical levels. The products are mainly concentrated in the low-end market, while in the mid-to-high-end field, foreign pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers dominate. This is mainly due to the late start of the domestic pharmaceutical equipment industry, weak technical experience, and low investment in innovation by enterprises. Some parts and technologies are constrained by others, which has become a major "stumbling block" for domestic pharmaceutical equipment from low-end to high-end. Some people in the pharmaceutical industry have said that the overall level of my country's pharmaceutical equipment compared with foreign pharmaceutical equipment is several years behind.

The upstream of pharmaceutical equipment is the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. As a rigidly needed pharmaceutical industry, with the aging of the population and the support of pharmaceutical policies, both the scale of the industry and the growth rate are good for the development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry. Driven by policies such as centralized drug procurement and consistency evaluation, pharmaceutical companies have created new demands and requirements for pharmaceutical equipment. For example, bid-winning pharmaceutical companies need to update and upgrade some equipment and increase production capacity to ensure product supply. The industry predicts that with the normalization of centralized drug procurement, more pharmaceutical companies are expected to need to upgrade their pharmaceutical equipment, and the pharmaceutical equipment industry can still benefit from the rapid growth brought by upstream in the next few years.

In this context, while seeing opportunities for domestic pharmaceutical equipment, it also needs to continue to respond to challenges, including increasing research on technical levels, continuous improvement in service levels, and paying close attention to user needs. It is understood that at present, more and more domestic pharmaceutical machinery companies have transformed from a single production equipment supplier to an equipment and technical solution supplier, continuously improving service quality and increasing the added value of equipment.
