Also, direct spending (drugs) and indirect spending (productivity decline) amount to USD 128 billion each year. According to the statistics, there are about 100 million patients with arthritis in China, among of which 5-10 million are patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In China, the disability rate of RA is 50% if left untreated in two years and 70% in three years.

Developed by Pfizer under the trade name of Enbrel, etanercept is the first completely humanized soluble tumor necrosis factor antagonist for the treatment of RA and ankylosing spondylitis. Its sales value has surpassed USD 8 billion for four successive years. Globally, etanercept is the fifth best-selling drug in 2014 with sales value reaching up to USD 8.54 billion.

After entering China in 2010, etanercept develops fast with annual sales value rising from CNY 2.45 million in 2010 to CNY 23.45 million in 2014 and CAGR during this period reaching up to 75.9%.
