Under the influence of the new GMP, pharmaceutical companies from domestic and abroad positively take part in CHINA-PHARM 2011.
The New GMP has Profound Influence on the Future Trends of Chinese Pharmaceutical Industry
The new GMP has referred to GMP certification standard in the United States and Europe, with higher entry qualification and stricter requirement on software and hardware of pharmaceutical enterprises in China. It accelerates the speed of industrial structure adjustment and development; meanwhile it improves the whole level of pharmaceutical industry and quality of drugs. What’s more, it will have great influence on the competitive landscape in Chinese pharmaceutical industry over the next five years.
It is deemed that the launching of the new GMP will surely boost integration and upgrading of the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. According to the statistics, there are over 4,500 medium and small scaled pharmaceutical manufacturers in China. It is estimated by the expert and government official that the total investment on hardware will amount 30 to 50 billion US dollars if all the pharmaceutical players meet new GMP standard. Furthermore, the new GMP has detailed requirement on the application and management of raw materials, excipients and packaging materials, including label management and materials etc.
CHINA-PHARM is the Premier Integrated Communication Platform
CHINA-PHARM has been supported by several internationally influential foreign organizations including International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC) and VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association etc.
During the core period of industrial upgrading, CHINA-PHARM will provide premier communication platform to offer more services and business opportunities for trade players and international exhibitors. Based on the experience of last editions and market trends, CHINA-PHARM will set up customized special zones for pharmaceutical packaging equipment, excipients and packaging materials, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and etc to highlight equipment and technologies which meet the requirement of the new GMP.
According to relevant experts, pharmaceutical enterprises have to increase the fineness of management to meet the requirement of the new GMP and have control on the whole quality management process including raw material and excipients sourcing, production, logistics and end use. To adapt the new GMP and pharmacopoeia, enterprises are in need of great information support.
