DUBLIN, October 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "China Pharmaceutical Distribution Industry Report, 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The Chinese pharmaceutical distribution market has developed steadily but at a slower rate in recent years. The industry rose by 10.4% year on year to RMB1.8393 trillion in 2016 and is expected to hit RMB2.9784 trillion in 2021 at a growth rate of 10% over the next five years driven by favorable policies and downstream demand.

Western medicine sales dominate the Chinese pharmaceutical distribution market, accounting for 74.4% in 2016; East China and Central South China hold relatively higher percentages, up to 61.1% together in 2016.

By the end of Nov 2016, there were 12,975 pharmaceutical wholesalers nationwide which competed fiercely in a lowly concentrated market. Top3 champions seized only a combined 28.7% share of the market in 2016.

As medical reform policies are implemented and consolidation in pharmaceutical wholesale industry accelerates, the Chinese pharmaceutical distribution market will show trends as follows: 1) pharmaceutical E-commerce will become an important model; 2) pharmaceutical supply chain management will be upgraded; 3) capital market will play a bigger role in integration of enterprises; 4) cross-border integration of pharmaceuticals and E-commerce will continue; 5) stiffer competition will improve market concentration; 6) Wholesale-retail integration will spur industry consolidation.
