Outlook
Chinese export situation will gradually getting better and better
Although exports of traditional Chinese medicine there was a slight decline in the first quarter of this year, but the analysis of all major types of goods can predict the second quarter, the export situation of Chinese medicinal products will be gradually getting better.
First, the Chinese crude drugs in the first quarter although the number and value of exports has declined, but there actually was an average price growth momentum. In addition, Chinese crude drugs ring in March rose by 49.4%, warming trends have been seen. In response to foreign technical trade barriers, China Medical Insurance Association has been active with the South Korean Pharmaceutical Association, input and output communication between agencies to ensure that trade facilitation; the same time they also begin to develop our exports of Chinese crude drugs industry standards to reduce technical trade barriers limit.
Second, the plant extracts will remain the main driving force stimulating the export of Chinese medicine, plant extracts from the use of analysis, the overall demand for stability in the global market. Plant extracts the financial crisis prompted the change in market segmentation, India and Mexico as a new plant extracts market, huge demand for food additives in the field will greatly promote the export of plant extracts. Japan, U.S., EU and other developed countries and regional markets over the import of plant extracts used in Chinese herbs, or health care products in the field, the characteristics of its rigid requirements the financial crisis will not change greatly.
Thirdly, the current Chinese patent medicines in the proportion of Chinese exports less exports declined slightly will not affect the overall export situation of Chinese medicine. The main export markets proprietary Chinese medicine in Asia, to seize the Asian markets, focusing on developing the Southeast Asian market, Quality brand, will make proprietary Chinese exports is beginning to pick.
Fourth, health care products market is the most potential market. Export of data analysis, health care products before and after the financial crisis does not appear significant export market fluctuations, has been in a stable growth.
