Abstract

Biopharmaceutical technology is one of the most promising biotechnologies in the world. With the development of modern biotechnology, biopharmaceuticals are thriving and developing rapidly as a global high-tech biotechnology industry, bringing the unprecedented market prospects to biopharmaceuticals in China and the world. Today, world is witnessing that Chinese biopharmaceutical industry is booming and growing up. The national biopharmaceutical industry of China, especially the development and industrialization of biological medicines with genetic engineering drugs as its core fields, has already reached a certain market scale after over 20 years of development. The biopharmaceutical industry will be one of the most active economic sectors in China, whereas the biotechnological revolution with modern biopharmaceutical technology has become the lifeblood of maintaining human health and food safety in the future. The article systematically analyzed and evaluated the current status and trend and explored the main existing problems of Chinese biopharmaceutical industry with some development strategies in a challenging perspective. It probes into Chinese biopharmaceutical industry and its bases too. The future development prospects of Chinese national biopharmaceutical industry are much optimistic but challenging.
