Pengpai News | Frost & Sullivan: New energy vehicles are an excellent opportunity for China's automotive exports to make a comeback on the curve
Pengpai News | Frost & Sullivan: New energy vehicles are an excellent opportunity for China's automotive exports to make a comeback on the curve In recent years, Chinese automakers have accelerated their pace of going global. Just last month, BYD announced its entry into the Japanese market, and NIO has established an energy factory in Hungary.
Some believe that in recent years, Chinese automakers' overseas expansion has shifted from simple automobile exports to a global layout of the industrial chain, and their sales markets have gradually expanded from developing countries to developed ones. What are the reasons or logic behind this? Is new energy vehicle sales an opportunity for China's automotive exports to turn the corner? What are the advantages and obstacles for Chinese automakers going global? Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan Zhang Zhiwei, Executive Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, was interviewed by The Paper to discuss the significant implications of new energy vehicle exports for the future development of Chinese automakers.
Pengpai News
From simple vehicle exports to automakers going global with their industrial chains and technologies, China's automotive industry has undergone structural changes in its overseas expansion.
9 month 5 On the same day, Li Fei, Assistant Minister of Commerce, proposed to actively support the export of key products such as new energy vehicles. Prior to this, automakers had already made a significant investment in the export of new energy vehicles.
Just past 8 In the month, BYD has successively announced its entry into markets such as Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden. Its recent frequent moves are a microcosm of Chinese automakers' efforts to go global, utilizing their advantages in new energy vehicles to reverse-engineer their way into traditional automotive powers like Germany and Japan.
Consulting firm Frost & Sullivan (Frost & Sullivan Zhang Zhiwei, Executive Director of Greater China, said in an interview with The Paper that “ 2021 The proportion of new energy passenger vehicle sales in China's total global sales in 53% "New energy vehicles represent an excellent opportunity for China's automotive exports to overtake on a curve."
Riding on the wave of new energy vehicles, China's pattern of automakers going global is quietly changing.
The rising automobile-exporting powerhouse
The UK's Financial Times recently reported in a piece that a trend that could change the global manufacturing structure has begun, namely the rise of China as a major automobile exporter.
2021 In the year, China's export sales achieved 201.5 10,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 101% Second only to Japan internationally 382 10,000 and Germany's 230 Ten thousand units, surpassing South Korea and becoming the world's third-largest.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time China's automobile exports have exceeded a certain threshold 200 Ten thousand vehicles a mark. And 2010 Year-end 2020 Throughout the year, China's automobile exports have been 100 Around 10,000 vehicles fluctuate. Therefore, many industry insiders also 2021 The year is referred to as the first year for Chinese cars going global.
Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, charted by: Pengpai News reporter Wu Yuli
In the automotive export data, new energy vehicles have performed very impressively.
According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 2020 In the year, China's new energy vehicle exports were nearly 7 10,000 units, accounting for the total automobile exports 7% ; 2021 New energy vehicle exports in 20XX 31 10,000 units, proportion 15.38% ; In the first half of this year, new energy vehicle exports 20.2 10,000 units, accounting for 16.6% .
Among the notable growth, Tesla's incremental output cannot be ignored. The Tesla Shanghai Superplant was established in 2020 year 10 Launched the export business of complete vehicles in January 2021 Annual export volume is about 16 Ten thousand vehicles contributed half of China's new energy vehicle exports for the whole year.
However, even after deducting Tesla's exports, 2021 Annual exports are still 2020 The year-on-year base has doubled, and the growth rate remains significant.
New energy vehicles go global: overtaking on the 'cost plain'
last century 70 During the oil crisis of the 1970s, Japanese automakers such as Toyota captured the American market with their excellent fuel-saving technology. With the recent emergence of traditional automakers' 'Nokia Moment,' a similar window is now before Chinese new energy automakers.
Regarding the tremendous opportunities that new energy vehicles bring to Chinese automakers, many industry insiders believe that this is not just a 'curveball.'
Mei Songlin, a senior analyst in the automotive industry, told The Paper that the booming trend of new energy vehicles globally is a great opportunity for Chinese enterprises to change lanes and overtake.
Liu Mingyu, an associate professor in the Department of Applied Economics at Fudan University School of Management, said in an interview with The Paper that overtaking through new energy vehicles is a 'direct cost path.' He stated that the transition from traditional fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles has magnified China's cost advantage. In terms of hardware, electric vehicle parts are significantly fewer than those of fuel vehicles, greatly reducing the difficulty of overall assembly. Just like with mobile phones, China has a clear cost advantage in assembly.
Taking batteries as an example, according to McKinsey's calculations, the cost-performance ratio of pure electric models in China is approximately 21 kilometers /1 RMB ten thousand yuan, while the range price of international models is generally about 11 kilometers /1 RMB ten thousand yuan.
However, Liu Mingyu also mentioned that after seizing the cost advantage to overtake, the ultimate advantage of automakers still comes from technology.
An insider from Aiche Auto told The Paper, 7 Month-on-month, AIC accumulatively exported to overseas 642 table U5 , with year-on-year growth exceeding 8 Double-digit growth is a new high for monthly exports since the official delivery. 'China's leadership in electric vehicle technology, along with our advantages in manufacturing and operating costs, are significant competitive strengths in overseas markets.'
In addition, the new business models developed by Chinese new energy vehicles during their growth process have also become a competitive advantage for going global. NIO Auto told The Paper that its products, services, and innovative business models have initially gained recognition in the global market. Among all orders in the Norwegian market, 92% Users who chose the battery leasing plan made a final purchase on average every four test drive customers, with a significantly higher conversion rate from test drives to orders compared to domestic markets.

Zhang Zhiwei believes that China has positioned itself at the forefront of the world in multiple core technologies for new energy vehicles. "In this context, Chinese automakers can leverage their many early-mover advantages in new energy vehicles to enter overseas markets during the rapid development period of global new energy vehicles, seize a certain market share, and reverse China's disadvantages in the traditional fuel vehicle market."
It is worth noting that the export of new energy technologies by Chinese automakers will also commence.
Geely Automobile Group CEO Gan's family-owned enterprise recently introduced at its performance meeting that Geely has been exporting its new energy technologies and products such as hybrid and pure electric vehicles globally through innovative models including technology licensing, subscriptions, and cooperation with local automakers, accelerating the globalization process.
The window of opportunity to go global is still open
The automotive industry is a typical global industry. Liu Mingyu believes that from a macro perspective, although there is currently a trend towards anti-globalization, the window remains open, and Chinese enterprises need to seize the opportunity.
He said that Chinese automakers' overseas expansion is backed by a solid 'base', namely the huge domestic market. 'The automotive industry has a high dependence on scale, and the domestic market can effectively spread the cost.' The fixed costs and R&D expenses of automakers. "Another aspect is a relatively complete industrial chain. 'China's automotive industry has a complete supporting system, as well as the advantage of industrial clusters, which can greatly reduce logistics and manufacturing costs.'
Li Ze (a pseudonym), who is in charge of the export business of a certain automaker, told The Paper that from a technical perspective, China's vast territory provides rich samples for the usage environment of new energy vehicles. 'Unlike fuel vehicles, the batteries of new energy vehicles are greatly affected by temperature. Our main factories can conduct tests on Hainan Island or Mohe, and we have various actual usage environments for car owners. Therefore, our batteries have strong competitiveness.'
"Of course, to go global, you must also do a good job in internationalization and localization," Li mentioned. "We have also encountered special situations where the vehicle's onboard system only had minor issues in a specific region of Northern Europe. Later, our team conducted continuous testing locally and found that it was because a part could not work in extremely cold weather. After replacing it, the problem was solved easily. So, if you only focus on vehicle exports and do not have your own R&D or service teams locally, then you can only be considered a simple manufacturer."
"
Zhang Zhiwei also believes that China has a more stable and comprehensive automotive industry chain, which gives it stronger risk resistance in the tight global supply chain. 'For example, last year Tesla's global production included half of its models coming from Shanghai factories. At the same time, China's overall raw material costs and labor costs are also lower than those in the international market. In addition, China is at the forefront of new energy vehicle layouts globally. Overall, the product strength of our models is still stronger than that of most international automakers. Some components' technology and supply are also at the global leading level. Coupled with a relatively stable supply chain, lower comprehensive costs, and higher production efficiency, this gives Chinese automakers more confidence going global.'
However, Zhang Zhiwei also mentioned that in recent years, the demand for automobiles from overseas markets has not been stable due to the recurring COVID-19 pandemic, marginal political conflicts, and uncertain economic situations in multiple countries. Moreover, developing overseas markets requires a significant investment of time and money, including marketing and product adaptation improvements. Chinese automakers going global not only have to face unfamiliar market environments but also strong competitors. If overseas sales targets are not met in the initial stages, it may lead domestic automakers to become more conservative about overseas investments.
The Exploration of Chinese Auto Brands Going Global
Regarding the issue of Chinese cars going global, Zhang Xiang, a specially invited expert and automotive analyst at the China International Automotive Industry Research Association Think Tank, told The Paper News that this problem needs to be viewed rationally.
He analyzed that, 'A large portion of the cars exported from China are international brands. For example, Tesla is not a Chinese domestic brand, and Dongfeng Yijie Te is a joint venture between Dongfeng Motor and Renault. - The joint venture established by the Nissan Alliance is not an independent brand. In this regard, we lag behind Japan and Europe. Japan, Europe, and South Korea export their brands on a large scale, but the number of exports of our country's own brands is still relatively small and in its initial stages.
However, in recent years, with the strong rise of new energy vehicles, many Chinese automakers have begun to experiment with deeper layouts in brand expansion.
2021 year 5 month 6 Today, NIO released its Norwegian strategy, officially entering the Norwegian market and taking the first step into overseas markets. According to a previous disclosure by NIO Motors, 2022 In [year], WeRoo's products and full-service offerings will be officially launched in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. 2025 Annual coverage exceeds 25 Countries and regions. Regarding Weilai's globalization, Li Bin hopes to proceed steadily. 'Don't expect overnight success. There are such expectations.' Those who look at it will die in a rather ugly way.

Pengfei Motors also set sail for overseas markets from Norway, highlighting its intelligent features in its marketing just like domestically.
2020 year 12 In January, Xpeng delivered the first batch to the Norwegian market G3 Model, followed by Xpeng P7 , P5 It has also successively entered the European market. Xpeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng once stated that in the medium to long term, the goal of Xpeng is to develop into a global automaker, with overseas markets contributing half of the car deliveries. Regarding Xpeng's strategy for going global, He Xiaopeng said that the core of Xpeng's expansion abroad is focusing on developed countries and will firmly build a strong brand. To C At the same time, he also said bluntly, “Going global requires 10 The commitment to deployment and preparation for the year includes actions taken by predecessors such as Toyota in terms of globalization 10 Years or even longer."
Pengfei Auto Netherlands, from the official website
These automakers' overseas expansion has a clear common point: they are exploring the global layout of their brands. Liu Mingyu believes that the focus of brand globalization should be placed on 'globalization.' 'To have global competitiveness, one must become a global brand. In fact, many world-renowned automakers have undergone multiple changes of ownership; they can only say that their birthplace is a certain country, but the brand has become a global one, and the company itself has become a multinational enterprise.'
Mei Songlin stated that without a domestic market, one cannot grow large, and without an international market, one cannot become strong. 2.0 Chinese Brands of the Times (For the Fuel Vehicle Era: 1.0 The era of new energy vehicles is 2.0 We must not only achieve large scale but also strengthen our brand. Only with scale can we survive, and only with a strong brand can we command a premium price; neither can be dispensed with.
"In the car 1.0 In the era, Chinese automakers basically rely on local partners to handle export sales, and have not fully established their own brands. 2.0 Times should try to create a brand like they do in the domestic market, establishing the brand while selling cars to gain recognition in the local market. "Mai Songlin said, "The investment is significant and the learning cost is also high, but this path must be forged through. Fortunately, the smartphone industry has blazed a trail that is worth learning from for China's intelligent new energy vehicle industry."

Frost & Sullivan Insight & Extended Reading
Q Some believe that in recent years, Chinese automakers' overseas expansion has begun to shift from simple automobile exports to a global layout of the industrial chain, and their sales markets have gradually expanded from developing countries to developed ones. What are the reasons or logic behind this?
A : China's automotive industry is gradually entering a mature phase, and 'going global' has become one of the important development plans that Chinese automakers are focusing on. In the past few years, the sales volume of new cars in the domestic market has tended to be stable, but market competition has become increasingly fierce. Going abroad has become an inevitable path for automakers seeking new growth curves.
Although the main markets for Chinese automakers going global are still developing countries, it can be seen that developed countries are gradually becoming important destinations for Chinese automakers. Chinese independent brands are gradually penetrating from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to developed European and American markets. The reasons for this include not only the larger market space in developed countries but also China's complete supply chain, stable production capacity, leading new energy vehicle models, as well as a greater focus on medium- and long-term planning and thinking. Leading domestic automakers have realized that the current period is an excellent opportunity to layout in overseas developed country markets, so they dare to take the initiative and compete with traditional overseas automakers for the market.
Q Although China has significant advantages in new energy vehicles, many key technologies are still controlled by others. What impact does this have on our vehicle exports, parts exports, and overseas investment layout?
A : Although there are still some technologies and components in China that come from overseas suppliers, leading global component manufacturers have established operations in the Chinese mainland, with only a few high-end parts relying on imports. Moreover, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement RCEP ) in 2022 year 1 month 1 The official implementation has brought about favorable policies such as reduced tariffs, market opening, and lowered standard barriers. These have reduced risks for China's automotive industry going global, which is very conducive to the stability and integration of the regional automotive industry chain. It holds great significance for China's complete vehicle exports, parts exports, and overseas investment layout of enterprises. China's leading engine manufacturers and parts suppliers are accelerating their layout in overseas markets.

Executives from Frost & Sullivan attended the 2022 HuiZhi TEK Metaverse Industry Innovation Forum and PRC SoftBank Startup Camp and delivered speeches Metaverse Industry Innovation Forum
2022 Over the past year, the concept of the metaverse has accelerated its implementation, and the integrated effect of market confidence, technological breakthroughs, and policy convergence has begun to emerge. 7 In January, Shanghai released an action plan for cultivating the new 'Metaverse' track. The Zhangjiang Digital Economy Chain (Metaverse) characteristic industrial park centered around Shanghai Pudong Software Park has become one of the important carriers for Shanghai to develop in the new Metaverse track.
As Shanghai Pudong Software Park 30 One of the annual series of events, 2022 Huizhi TEK The launch ceremony of the Metaverse Industry Innovation Forum and PRCSoft Startup Camp (Eighth Session) is about to take place. The event will last for three days, focusing on industry innovation forums, industry demand matching, and exchanges at the Women's sub-forum. It will also unveil the special session on the metaverse for the PRCSoft Startup Camp (Eighth Session).
Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan Wang Chenhui, Partner-in-Chief and Executive Vice President of Frost & Sullivan Greater China Region, Co-founder and President of LeadLeo, was invited to attend the Metaverse Industry Innovation Forum and share 2022 The latest research findings from the 'China's VR/AR/MR Industry Development White Paper' for 2023.
Wang Chenhui, Managing Partner and Executive Vice President of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, Co-founder and President of LeadLeo
According to Wang Chenhui, Metaverse Metaverse space The term 'originates from the writer' Neal Stephenson The science fiction novel 'Snow Crash' describes a world where people interact with various software in three-dimensional space using virtual avatars.
Metaverse space A word is composed of Meta and verse composition, Meta Represents transcendence, verse Representing the universe, 'transcending universe' implies a man-made virtual space that operates parallel to the real world.
The metaverse connects virtual and reality, featuring a real design and economic environment that can connect everyone. 3D In the virtual world, users possess their own virtual identities and digital assets within the metaverse. They can interact freely in the virtual world, engage in productive activities, and create value.
Wang Chenhui pointed out that the metaverse provides users with rich consumer content, a fair creative platform, a reliable economic system, and an immersive interactive experience. It can express people's emotions, giving users a sense of psychological belonging. Users can make friends in the digital world, create their own works, conduct transactions, and participate in educational meetings and other social activities.
Technically, on top of the traditional internet, the metaverse has set higher standards for immersion, participation, and sustainability. Therefore, it will be supported by many independent tools, platforms, infrastructure, protocols, etc. as AR , VR , 5G With the maturity of technologies such as cloud computing, the metaverse is expected to gradually move from concept to reality.
Wang Chenhui stated that the metaverse industry involves six supporting technologies, namely interaction technology, blockchain technology, Internet of Things technology, network technology, video game technology, and artificial intelligence technology. The main application areas include gaming, virtual entertainment, social networking, education and training, industry, and healthcare.
Next, Wang Chenhui further explored the application scenarios of the metaverse. Taking metaverse education as an example, The integration of virtual and real, online and offline features in the education metaverse will promote changes in teaching concepts and models.
From a definition perspective, the educational metaverse can be understood as an environment where participants in educational activities such as teachers, students, and administrators create digital identities. They open up formal and informal teaching spaces in virtual worlds and interact within these virtual teaching venues.
From a fundamental technology perspective, Wang Chenhui stated that the education metaverse utilizes VR/AR/MR Digital Twin, 5G The virtual-real integrated education environment shaped by emerging information technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain is a high-level form of intelligent education that fully interweaves virtual and reality, connects humans with machines, and engages schools with society.
From the perspective of current development, Wang Chenhui believes that the metaverse has already achieved initial applications in the field of education. For example, the United States established the world's first virtual reality high school—American High School—and the University of California, Berkeley recreated its campus using the sandbox game 'My World' and held an online graduation ceremony. The Seoul National Hospital in South Korea utilized VR/AR The technology enables real-time sharing of surgeries, symbolizing the initial attempt at applying the educational metaverse in the field of medical education.
The educational application cases in the metaverse have begun to show results. According to Wang Chenhui, in the field of subject education, Beijing Normal University will VR/AR Technology is integrated into teaching activities, and augmented reality-based AR Technical education APP .
In the field of informal learning, Stanford University will VR The device is applied in virtual, domestic scenarios, museum settings, and various other scenarios that are difficult to access in daily life.
In the field of vocational training, Seoul National University utilizes VR/AR The technology enables real-time sharing of surgeries, and VR/AR Technology is better applied in practical training.
Wang Chenhui further pointed out that virtual reality education is currently still in the early exploration stage, with its theory and practice lagging behind technological development. At the same time, China still lacks educational virtual reality products designed and developed specifically for the education sector, and existing explorations mainly rely on virtual reality games or social platforms.
Wang Chenhui believes that at present, the main issues in the development of metaverse education include the lack of established industry standards, unregulated trust mechanisms, and the addictive risks associated with virtual environments.
At the same time, Wang Chenhui also stated that in the future, with the improvement of technology and industry standards, products related to metaverse education may experience relatively rapid growth.
From the perspective of application scenarios, the future education metaverse can achieve diverse applications in situational teaching, personalized learning, gamified learning, teacher training, and other areas. It will provide more intelligent teaching services and experiences, presenting characteristics and trends such as immersion, authenticity, interactivity, creativity, diversity, and collaboration.
From the perspective of industry development trends, as enterprises related to education metaverse accelerate the formulation of relevant standards, gain control over the industry's development direction, and lead the technological development path and implementation applications of education metaverse, there may be a relatively rapid growth in related products in the future.
Another major application scenario of the metaverse is metaverse social networking. Based on the characteristics of the metaverse, metaverse social networking is different from traditional social networking, and it has 3D Visualizations, strong interactivity, and immersive experiences can quickly bridge the gap between strangers.
Wang Chenhui stated that the diverse playstyles in metaverse social interactions will fully activate social scenarios and enhance strangers' enthusiasm for socializing. For example soul Taking gamified social experience as one of its core features, through FaceID, 3D Face pinching and other diverse group chat party rooms, soul Gameplay like Werewolf makes it easier for users to build relationships.
The emphasis on virtual identities in metaverse social networking has made stranger interactions the main component of social patterns in future metaverse worlds. However, acquaintance interactions may gradually shrink their share in the metaverse market due to the lack of online second identities. Stranger interactions will gradually increase their market space in the metaverse.
Wang Chenhui pointed out that there are currently no truly mature metaverse social applications on the market. The metaverse social applications mentioned in the existing market all involve some of the key elements, such as making friends with strangers. APP —— soul It possesses the three key elements of the metaverse: virtual identities, social networking, and synchronous interactivity.
Regarding the future development trend of metaverse socialization, Wang Chenhui pointed out that scenario-based socialization is one of the value sources of the metaverse. Compared to the ubiquitous instant messaging, scenario-based social experiences offer a better user experience. This is because scenarios make it easier for users to feel immersed in an atmosphere, and they can also interact in real-time within scenario-based platforms. With the accumulation of different scenario-based social platforms, the social metaverse will gradually grow into a social ecosystem. Further realizing the scenarios and scale of the social metaverse will become an important trend in future metaverse social interactions.
On the other hand, Wang Chenhui also believes that 5G The gradual popularization has provided a larger stage for metaverse social interactions. XR The development of device technology has provided assistance for the synchronization and real-time nature of virtual images in metaverse social interactions. Interaction is the most important element in social networking, and the metaverse enables 3D , XR Based on technical foundations, it provides users with accurate ways of expressing body language, better facilitates interaction, combines the real world with the virtual world, breaks through text and traditional social methods, and enables communication and interaction among different social groups in different time and space settings.
Finally, Wang Chenhui summarized and looked ahead to the overall development trend of the metaverse. He said, 2021 Year-end 2025 In [year], with the continuous development of technology, it is expected that major internet giants and some leading companies focusing on gaming and social media will develop a series of independent virtual platforms.
2026 Year to 2030 In [year], as the pan-entertainment immersive experience platform has made significant progress, the metaverse will expand beyond its current base to include more experiences. It is expected that some consumer, educational, conference, and work-related behaviors will shift to virtual worlds. At the same time, as consumption in virtual worlds continues to heat up, along with digital currencies such as the Digital RMB and NFT The digital information has been assetized, and the economic system has begun to establish itself. This has subsequently driven the realization of transactions, social interactions, and other exchanges between some virtual platforms.
2030 After the Spring Festival, which marks the third phase of the metaverse, Wang Chenhui believes that starting from this stage, each virtual platform will serve as a sub-universe, gradually forming a complete set of standard protocols to achieve the aggregation of various sub-universes and create a true metaverse. These sub-universes still maintain their independence, but they achieve interconnectivity through the unification and standardization of interfaces such as interaction and economy through standard protocols. At this stage, The form of the metaverse will expand with the advancement of technology, and various industries will pour into the metaverse system, blurring the boundaries between virtual and reality. As a result, the metaverse enters an era of digital coexistence between virtual and real worlds across all industries.

At the same time, it is also necessary to reinforce forward-looking arrangements in early globalization product pipelines, investment and financing, etc.
9 month 9 day, from the head CDMO The listed company Boteng Co., Ltd. initiated the “China Biotech Global Evolution Road | Boteng Innovation Medicine Salon · Shanghai Station" themed salon was successfully held. The event invited top-notch front-line experts. PROTAC experts, BD transaction /License Cross-border transaction expert, global pharmaceutical consulting expert, and innovative drug CMC/IND Experts jointly carried out discussions and exchanges. Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan Mao Hua, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, was invited to attend the event and delivered a speech on 2022 A speech was delivered on the review and prospects of the biopharmaceutical investment and financing market.
Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China Region fattening
During the speech, Mao Hua first said 2022 A brief analysis of the investment and financing situation in the global and Chinese biopharmaceutical industries during the first half of the year was conducted. According to its introduction, 2022 China in the first half of the year A The stock has become the largest in the world IPO listing city Venue, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange shall be located at 2,563 HK$10 billion, 1,201 The financing amount of HK$10 billion ranks first and second globally, NASDAQ, NYSE, and HKEX did not appear in the top five. In the healthcare sector, 2022 First half of the year A The stock market is also more active than the Hong Kong market. A share IPO listing Although the quantity decreased year-on-year, the raised funds increased year-on-year 33% Hong Kong stocks IPO listing Both the quantity and raised funds have declined significantly year-on-year.
The data shows, 2020 - 2021 Over the year, in the healthcare sector IPO listing Volumes have been increasing across major global sectors. 2022 In the first half of the year, all segments experienced a cooling-off. During this period, Chinese healthcare enterprises IPO listing Year-on-year quantity 2021 Decrease in the first half of the year 40.8% But A Equity remains the capital market with the largest number of listings in China's healthcare industry at present, and Hong Kong stocks 18A It is even more favored by unprofitable Chinese healthcare enterprises. 2022 First half of the year A Stock market, healthcare industry IPO listing financing scale, IPO listing The number of enterprises ranks sixth and fourth among all industries.
Mao Hua pointed out, Judging from the listed valuation level, As of 2022 year 6 month 30 day A The overall price-to-earnings ratio (excluding negative values) of the healthcare industry is higher than that of the US and Hong Kong healthcare industries. For unprofitable listed healthcare companies, A The stock exhibits a significant valuation advantage, in addition to A In addition to the valuation premium of the equity itself, and A The Sci-tech Innovation Board has higher requirements for the R&D progress of unprofitable enterprises seeking listing (for innovative drugs, at least one core product must enter pivotal clinical trials). At present, the limited number of innovative drugs on the market is also related to the lack of profitable innovative medical device companies.
Judging from the stock price on the first day, 2022 In the first half of the year, healthcare companies A The break-even rate for stocks and Hong Kong stocks is comparable. In response to some issues in previous practices, such as offline investors focusing more on strategy than research, engaging in 'group bidding' to secure inclusion, and disrupting the issuance order, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, and the Securities Association have issued relevant reform documents regarding the current new share issuance system. After the release of the new regulations, the pricing center for new share issuance has increased. A The myth of 'new shares never going under' has been shattered. 2022 First half of the year A Among the listed healthcare companies, there have been 7 The company's shares broke below their issue price on the first day.
Looking at the average daily trading volume after listing, A The secondary market trading activity in the healthcare sector is higher than that of Hong Kong stocks. Both the overall sector and unprofitable biotech companies have far more active trading volumes than Hong Kong stocks. A The median daily turnover of equity healthcare companies exceeds that of Hong Kong stocks in the past 5 times, and the median daily turnover of unprofitable biotech companies on the Sci-tech Innovation Board is also close to that of Hong Kong stocks 3 More than twice.
Mao Hua said that it is expected that with A With the full implementation of the share registration system and market policy reforms, more pharmaceutical companies will choose to A The shares were financed.
Subsequently, Mao Hua reviewed 2022 First half of the year and 2021 Key trends in China's biopharmaceutical market in 2023.
Firstly, under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 The list of the world's top ten best-selling drugs has changed -- Pfizer /BioNtech COVID-19 mRNA The vaccine made it onto the list and ranked first, surpassing the leader that has held the top spot for many years Humira , Moderna COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines also rank at the top.
Secondly, looking at the whole 2021 In [year], biotech companies were active in financing, directly promoting R&D investment. Domestic biopharmaceutical companies also continued to increase their R&D investment to support innovation.
The successful financing activities in the primary and secondary markets have greatly supported the company's R&D layout. On one hand, there is an adequate pipeline for capital introduction, and on the other hand, the more abundant funds have also strengthened In-house staff R&D, with our own R&D efforts bearing fruit license-out operation The total transaction volume of varieties has reached 20 Billion-dollar club.
Mao Hua believes that, under the current competitive landscape, Biotech On the path of commercial exploration, it is necessary to possess the ability to integrate existing pipelines and resource operations in order to secure survival and develop space.
In addition, in terms of new drug approvals, 2021 National Medical Products Administration NMPA ) Approved in total 83 A new drug, with a number 2016 New highs were recorded in recent years, mainly driven by oncology drugs and infectious disease medications. 2022 Approved in the first half of the year 29 New drugs (excluding new indications, new dosage forms, biosimilars; if the active ingredient in a compound is not approved for the first time, it is not included in the statistics), among which oncology drugs account for approximately 48% ( 14/29 ).
2021 US Food and Drug Administration FDA ) Approved in total 50 A new drug product (excluding cell therapies and vaccines), with no significant difference in quantity compared to previous years, including 36 A new molecular entity and 14 A new biologic product, with oncology drugs still being the majority, accounting for 30% . 2022 First half of the year FDA A total of 16 novel molecular entity / New biological products, as well as those that have been approved 1 model mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and 1 model CAR-T Cell therapy, with the total number of approvals falling short 2021 Half of the year, it is still mainly distributed in the field of anti-tumor research, accounting for approximately 22% .
Finally, Mao Hua summarized that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought biopharmaceutical investment and financing to an unprecedented level of enthusiasm. With the influx of hot money, it has inevitably led to crowded R&D and homogeneous competition. The wave of homogenized innovation brought about by hot money has gradually shown signs of market decline. Biopharmaceutical companies need to start from clinical needs, explore the most fundamental ones, and only innovations that address unmet clinical needs can gain market recognition and bring returns to capital.
"In recent years, with national policy guidance for Chinese pharmaceutical companies to innovate, the level of domestic innovative drugs has been continuously improving under the policy dividend. The R&D level of innovative drugs is growing day by day. On the other hand, the R&D of COVID-19 vaccines is also driving rapid technological development in the industry. We believe that China's biopharmaceutical industry will increasingly integrate into the global innovation pulse," said Mao Hua.
The Frost & Sullivan healthcare team has rich project experience in innovative biomedicine, and recently 20 For many years, the Frost & Sullivan team has provided financing and financial advisory services to hundreds of outstanding domestic and international biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, healthcare services, and internet healthcare companies. IPO listing Industry consulting, strategic consulting, management consulting, and other services. Since 2019 year 7 Since the listing of the first batch of companies on the Sci-tech Innovation Board, Frost & Sullivan reports have also been widely cited in the prospectuses of leading Sci-tech Innovation Board-listed companies in the industry.

2022 After the second half of the year, OEMs are deploying for online car-hailing and Robotaxi The action is frequent.
Tianyancha application display, 8 month 3 On the same day, NIO established a sales and service company in Yantai, with business scope including online car-hailing operations; 7 month 19 Today, Guangdong Xpeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. registered “ XPENGROBOTAXI Trademark such as "PengMCAR" and "PengXing" may be used for PENG. Robotaxi Business speculation followed.
Caijing.com Technology has found out about PengMC's online car-hailing service application "Yunepeng Chuxing" is currently in the "Service Adjustment, Not Available for Download" state in the app store. Regarding NIO, regarding whether the company has made any arrangements for online car-hailing services, Robotaxi Regarding media inquiries about the business, NIO stated that it will not respond for the time being.
Meanwhile, traditional automakers are also actively making arrangements Robotaxi Track.
Geely's subsidiary, Cao Cao Mobility, recently announced a partnership with Pony.ai to introduce services in Yizhuang, Beijing Robotaxi ; Completed by the autonomous driving company Momenta Waiting for investment to exceed 10 RMB 10 billion B In a recent announcement, the Series B financing of SAIC Group's travel brand Enjoy Mobility has been completed with Momenta Joint layout creation Robotaxi Products; GAC Group 2022 It was revealed at the semi-annual report communication meeting that Ruqi Chuxing, a subsidiary of the group, is advancing Robotaxi The deployment and demonstration operation of the vehicles are expected to commence in Guangzhou with mixed operations of manned and driverless vehicles in the second half of this year.
Whether it's new force automakers or traditional automakers, targeting Robotaxi The frequent layout of businesses inevitably raises many speculations behind it.
Some believe that expanding business scope and increasing sales are the main goals of automakers in deploying ride-hailing services. In addition, ride-hailing services will also become Robotaxi The important scenarios for commercial implementation are also the reasons why automakers are making strategic layouts.
Zhu Yiming, Executive Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, stated that automakers entering the online car-hailing market can broaden their business and absorb production capacity on one hand, and increase brand exposure by enhancing passenger comfort and attracting them to purchase cars on the other.
Zhang Xiang, the dean of the New Energy Vehicle Technology Research Institute at Jiangxi New Energy Technology Vocational College, believes that although the online car-hailing industry is still in its early stages of development, with fierce competition between platforms and no profitability yet, online car-hailing is a trend for the future. It is a good choice for automakers to make early arrangements.
Chang Yan, a long-term observer in the automotive sector, believes that although new entrants mainly provide in-car services to help digest vehicles and improve delivery data, they also hope to quickly accumulate autonomous driving data and find more Corner case (Long-tail cases in the field of autonomous driving, which are those problems that have never been encountered or are difficult to predict, occur with low probability but in large numbers.) This feeds back into the development of the entire autonomous driving system.
Automobile companies are vying to deploy online car-hailing services
2019 year 5 In January, Xpeng Motors announced the launch of its online car-hailing service “Yopeng Mobility” platform in Guangzhou for trial operation, with plans to invest by the end of that year 2000 Remaining customized P7 models G3 "Yopeng Chuxing" is positioned as a dedicated vehicle service, with drivers being full-time professionals who must undergo regular professional training according to industry standards before taking up their posts.
Around this period, traditional OEMs sprang up across the country to enter the online car-hailing business like mushrooms after rain. 2017 year -2019 During the year, more than a dozen automakers deployed and launched online car-hailing platforms.
The transformation of China's automotive market from an incremental market to a stock market is seen as part of the broader industry backdrop, including automakers gradually shifting towards producing new energy vehicles and entering the online car-hailing market.
According to the statistical analysis of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 2018 In [year], China's automobile production and sales were 2780.9 10,000 units and 2808.1 Ten thousand units, with production and sales volume declining compared to the same period last year 4.2% and 2.8% , the Chinese automotive market is facing 28 The production and sales volume declined for the first time in a year, but the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 125.6 Ten thousand vehicles, a year-on-year increase 61.7% .
Boston Consulting Group BCG According to the report "Technology Disrupting Human Mobility: Where Will Corporate Profits Go?", the overall profit pool of the automotive industry in the future will shift from 2017 year 2260 USD billion growth to 2035 year 3800 billions of dollars. However, traditional profit pools (traditional parts, ICE Sales of hybrid new vehicles, auto finance, and the automotive aftermarket will only grow 40 Billion US dollars, with emerging profit pools (including parts for autonomous vehicles and pure electric vehicles, pure electric vehicle sales, data and intelligent connectivity, and mobility as a service) growing by approximately 1500 billion dollars.
Consulting firm PwC has also stated in relevant research reports that exploring new businesses has become a source for automakers to find profit points in the future, with the travel market being one of these new sources. PwC also anticipates that 2030 In 2023, China's shared mobility market will reach 5640 billions, with an average annual growth rate as high as 32% The market prospect is huge.
"It's not just the number of cars that has changed, but the entire industry's model has also changed. In the future," OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer , also known as fixed-location production), will find their competitive position threatened by new challengers such as suppliers, travel platforms, and tech giants. BCG Directors and Managers Thomas Palme Has stated.
According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 2017 year -2022 In the first half of the year, the production and sales volume of new energy vehicles in China were generally in a state of rapid growth. However, it is worth noting that in specific production and sales figures, there have been years when sales volume was less than production volume. Zhang Xiang believes that one of the main purposes for automakers to deploy online car-hailing services is to reduce inventory and increase sales volume.
Automobile companies mainly deploy shared mobility services through two main pathways: one is time-sharing rentals, and the other is online car-hailing (private cars). / Express services (such as express delivery, etc.) platforms. Automakers enter the former market through direct investment in operations or by taking stakes in car rental platforms; automakers deploying online car-hailing platforms mostly choose B2C The heavy-asset model has entered the market, with drivers not only being full-time employees but also the vehicles operated by online car-hailing platforms being uniformly purchased from their own automakers. Specifically, Cao Cao's special vehicle (later renamed 'Cao Cao Mobility'), incubated by Geely Automobile, operates with Geely models. Ruqi Mobility under GAC Group and Xiangdao Mobility under SAIC Group also purchase operating vehicles from their parent companies.
In addition to unified purchasing and operation of vehicles and self-operation, driver car-rental franchisees and driver-led car-rental franchises have also become a major trend in the development of online car-hailing platforms under automakers in recent years. For example, T3 Travel offers the aforementioned two types of franchise methods; Enjoy Mobility's driver recruitment requires drivers to bring their own BYD models; Piongle's 'YouPeng Mobility' not only provides G3 2019 Model (Intelligent Enjoyment Edition, Joyride Edition, and Premium Edition) and Xpeng P7 Two types of vehicle models are available for drivers to choose from, offering both 'operating lease' and 'flexible lease-purchase' options. The former refers to renting a vehicle for a fixed period, while the latter allows drivers to buy out the ownership of the vehicle after leasing it for a certain number of years by paying off the remaining balance.
In the view of Lang Xuehong, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Circulation, whether it is new forces in car manufacturing or traditional automakers, domestic or foreign, their entry into online car-hailing services or other off-automobile businesses mainly involves two considerations. On one hand, there is a rigid demand in the travel market. On the other hand, in addition to C For end-sales vehicles, automakers will not miss any opportunity to capture more markets, such as targeting B Ends selling vehicles, operates car rental services, and builds its own online car-hailing platform.
However, she also pointed out that automakers deploying ride-hailing platforms is one of their methods for expanding vertically and horizontally, and should not be considered a way to clear inventory. This is because the inventory situation and supply-demand conditions of automakers often exhibit cyclical patterns, being influenced by various factors such as the company's development stage, product strength, production planning capabilities, and market demand.
Speaking of the reasons why automakers are deploying ride-hailing services, IDC Wu Lianfeng, Vice President and Chief Analyst of China, believes that automakers' layout in the online car-hailing market is not about selling cars themselves, but rather about strengthening their ability to obtain data and attempting to create an ecosystem covering upstream and downstream operations.
It is reported that online car-hailing generates a large amount of data every day, including data from the vehicles themselves and operational data. Through travel data, automakers can not only verify the reliability of their products in a very short time but also efficiently learn about the optimal production and operation of vehicles and batteries under different usage scenarios, road conditions, and climates. In addition to deploying online car-hailing services and time-sharing rental services, automakers are also expanding into comprehensive service sectors such as charging and swapping operations, vehicle maintenance, energy management, and used car exchanges.
layout Robotaxi It has become a focus for the future development of automakers
If automakers' layout of online car-hailing services is considered 1.0 phase, from 2021 Since the beginning of this year, ride-hailing platforms have started collaborating with autonomous driving companies Robotaxi The business can be seen as entering the online car-hailing sector 2.0 phase.
According to incomplete statistics, currently, platforms such as Ruqi Chuxing, Xiangdao Chuxing, T3 Travel and Cao Cao Travel, four travel platforms, have already partnered with domestic autonomous driving companies, such as Momenta Xiaomazhihang, Wenyuan Zhixing, Yuanrong Qixing, and other partners have collaborated to conduct test operations of autonomous taxi services in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, and other locations.
According to the financial and technological analysis by FinFinance Network, there are currently three cooperation paths for the aforementioned online car-hailing platforms. One is strategic cooperation between automakers and autonomous driving companies, where the former provides vehicles and the latter offers autonomous driving solutions, which have been completed in restructuring. Robotaxi Used for testing by autonomous driving companies; secondly, autonomous driving companies bind with ride-hailing platforms through strategic cooperation or investment. The parent company of the ride-hailing platform provides vehicles, and the autonomous driving company offers autonomous driving solutions. The restructuring is completed. Robotaxi Test and operate on the online car-hailing platform; thirdly, the online car-hailing platform only provides APIs, and autonomous driving companies will own Robotaxi Connect to TCO.
Ride-hailing platforms not only choose to cooperate with multiple autonomous driving companies but are also exploring various cooperation paths. Specifically, Caocao Chuxing has cooperated with Pony.ai and Yuanrong Qixing respectively for exploration. Robotaxi On the one hand, Cao Cao Mobility has introduced the autonomous driving service of Pony.ai. That is, users in Beijing can use Cao Cao Mobility to application You can make an appointment for the ride-hailing service with Didi Chuxing at the dedicated entrance of "Autonomous Driving". Robotaxi On the other hand, Cao Cao Chuxing has partnered with Yuanrong Qixing for vehicle services. According to Yuanrong Qixing, Geely provides Geometry A And the east wind E70 Model: Yuanrong Qixing provides autonomous driving solution technology.
Enjoy the Journey, Connect with Us Momenta Together with SAIC's AI lab at its parent company, we are building Xiangdao Robotaxi Among them, SAIC provides Feifan MARVEL R Model Momenta Provides autonomous driving solutions, and SAIC AI Lab offers an intelligent driving data monitoring platform. In addition, Ruqi Mobility, which has successively collaborated with Waymo X and Pony.ai to jointly build autonomous driving fleets, was established this year 6 The moon god showed off Ruiqi Robotaxi Operate the technology platform. It is reported that this platform not only connects data from various autonomous driving companies but also schedules and assigns tasks to autonomous driving fleets.
In addition to traditional automakers, 2021 In the third quarter of 2023, He Xiaopeng, Chairman of Xpeng Motors, stated in a teleconference 2022 In the second half of the year, Xpeng Motors will begin exploring Robotaxi business. He said, “Through Robotaxi In the operation of generalization scenarios, test P7P vehicles' related software to ensure a closed-loop driving experience throughout the entire city (thus) enhancing the stability and safety of autonomous driving algorithms.
Coincidentally, in August this year, Guangdong Xpeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. registered “ XPENG ROBOTAXI The news about trademarks such as 'Pengpeng Smart Pilot' and 'Pengpeng Smart Mobility' has been leaked. Regarding the car-hailing service of Xpeng Motors application "PengLink" is currently in the "Service Adjustment, No Download Available" status on the app store. Xpeng responded saying, "We have not released any relevant information yet, please wait for official updates later."
Chang Yan predicts, Pegasus is about to go public Robotaxi The business may go live in Guangzhou first, firstly because the local government provides policy support, and secondly because of Pony.ai. Robotaxi The high-precision maps that require this service also became available for use in Guangzhou.
"Whether for automakers or ride-hailing platforms, autonomous driving is an important development trend for the future. Robotaxi It has a high correlation with the travel market, and it is the most reasonable model for automakers to deploy through their online car-hailing platforms. IDC China's research manager Wang Bo believes that for automakers already involved in autonomous driving-related businesses, the layout Robotaxi It can provide technical support and experience accumulation for its autonomous driving business, enabling automakers to take greater initiative in cooperation with technology suppliers.
"Automobile companies' layout Robotaxi Data collection can contribute to the advancement of autonomous driving technology. The more cars there are and the greater the mileage they travel, the more data they collect. The more diverse the data—different features, different countries' data—is collected, the more accurate the autonomous driving training models become.
Zhang Xiang expressed a similar view, believing that domestic automakers are significantly lagging behind Tesla in terms of autonomous driving mileage, as Tesla has a clear advantage both in cumulative sales and sales regions. Public data shows that Tesla has already achieved a significant number of autonomous driving miles in China, the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Norway, and other global markets. 20 Sales in countries and regions, with cumulative global production exceeding 300 10,000 units.
According to a research report by RAND Corporation in the United States, autonomous driving needs to go through 110 hundred million miles 180 (100 million kilometers) of testing. After calculation, CITIC Securities found that autonomous driving technology companies need approximately 5 10,000 autonomous vehicles, with at least 7 It can only be reached after [a certain number of] years 110 Actual mileage of 100 million miles tested on the road. At the same time, if 2.44 yuan / Estimate the testing cost in kilometers, which autonomous driving technology companies need to invest 440 Cost of hundreds of millions to meet 180 Hundreds of millions of kilometers of road testing requirements.
Research report from Industrial Securities shows that it is expected to end 2022 In the first quarter of the year, there were approximately 150 Ten thousand units equipped HW3.0 The model of the platform hardware can collect data for Tesla based on the per-vehicle quarterly driving mileage. 5000 kilometers, and Tesla has collected approximately 90 Billions of kilometers of data (excluding simulations).
Public information shows that as of 2022 year 7 Month, Baidu's Apollo Test mileage reached 2700 10,000 kilometers. At the recent "Pony Auto Tech Day," Wu Xinzhou, vice president of autonomous driving at Pony Auto, mentioned that it is expected 2022 At the end of the year, PENGPENG will have accumulated 1.2 1000 million kilometers per hour NGP Mileage. In comparison, automakers have a significant gap in autonomous driving data collection.
Robotaxi The road is not smooth
Whether it's the online car-hailing service that has been operating for many years, or those under trial Robotaxi The development path of automakers is clear, but the journey is not smooth.
According to statistics from the National Online Car-hailing Supervision Information Interaction Platform, 2022 year 4 Total order information received for the month 4.76 Hundreds of millions, marking the first time in a single month that the number of online car-hailing orders across the country has fallen 5 Yidian reached a new low in nearly two years. As of 2022 year 7 month 31 On the day 279 The number of home online car-hailing platform companies obtaining an online car-hailing platform business license has increased compared to last year for Didi 7 When it is taken off the market 241 The family has grown 16% .
In terms of market share, a research report by Haitong Securities shows that 2022 year 5 The market share of Didi Chuxing in Yueqing is relatively 2021 year 7 Month-on-month decline 10% for 69% , stable at for the past six months 70% Left and right. Amidst fluctuations in prices, market competition intensifies, and seizing more market share while ensuring stable and compliant operational capacity is a challenge that online car-hailing platforms must face.
"Currently, autonomous driving technology is not yet mature, Robotaxi Maybe 10 year -15 It is expected to be implemented after a year. The uncertainty during this period is too high, and it also requires long-term and large-scale investment. Whether these travel platforms can survive for that long remains a question. Senior expert in the automotive industry, Shao Yuanjun, believes that travel platforms want to Robotaxi It is still too early to consider breakthroughs in the travel sector, as autonomous vehicles, roads, laws, regulations, and business models are not yet mature. Even with car companies as a support, travel platforms cannot solely focus on investment without profitability for an extended period.
Zhang Xiaorong, the dean of the Institute of Deep Technology Research, expressed a similar view. He believes that the completeness of technology, the reliability of products, and the establishment and improvement of supporting traffic regulations and standard systems are all crucial for enterprises in their exploration Robotaxi Practical problems that need to be solved during the commercialization process. In addition to the fact that autonomous driving technology itself requires extensive practical testing, there is also a need for reliable solutions on how passengers can self-rescue in case of sudden accidents while unmanned vehicles are operating on the road. He said, 'Currently, most solutions involve equipping cars with safety officers to ensure that problems or situations can be handled promptly. Although this is a step forward compared to the traditional taxi model, there is still a significant gap from the autonomous driving that the public expects.'
Market Research Report "Electric Vehicle 100 Person Meeting" Robotaxi The commercialization status quo, challenges, and suggestions state that although today's technology can handle traffic conditions 90 % of routine issues, but the rest 10 % has a huge impact and requires expenditure 90 % of cases are resolved, with a significant long-tail effect, and there is a gap between demonstration scenarios and real commercial scenarios. Liu Wenzhou, the director of capital investment, said in an interview with the media that Baidu's commencement of commercial operations in Yizhuang, Beijing, has indeed taken an important step, but it is still in a restricted scenario, with very limited road richness.
Bi Xin, Executive Director of the Shenzhen Future Intelligent Connected Transportation System Industry Innovation Center, believes that there are currently contradictions between technology development and product access, as well as management issues related to technical maturity and commercial operation. 'If products are not allowed to enter the market, how can technology be extensively verified? Without large-scale demonstration applications and comprehensive testing and evaluation, there may also be certain risks in commercial implementation,' he said.
In addition, He Xia, chief engineer of the Policy Economics Research Institute at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said, Robotaxi The cost issue is Robotaxi A major difficulty in the process of advancement, “ Robotaxi It is a typical bilateral platform economy model. Without sufficient autonomous vehicles and long user waiting times, the entire platform finds it difficult to attract users. Conversely, without enough users, the cost of enterprise layout is very high.
It is reported that most are currently concentrated in first-tier cities for testing and operation Robotaxi The covered costs include labor costs, vehicle procurement, insurance costs, and the cost of applying for a license plate, etc. Wenyuan Zhihang COO Officer-in-Chief Zhang stressed in an interview with the media that, in the taxi cost structure, driver costs account for 60% Left and right, if the driver cannot be replaced, autonomous driving Robotaxi The business model is not viable. He also stated, 'For autonomous vehicles to make a profit, they must achieve profitability per vehicle. The prerequisite for achieving profitability per vehicle is the ability to implement autonomous driving. Currently, the mode of operation with safety officers on board cannot make money and may even result in losses compared to the regular mode.'
Specifically regarding the cooperation between online car-hailing platforms and autonomous driving companies, Wang Bo believes that automakers' heavy assets, autonomous driving companies' technical accumulation, and the traffic of online car-hailing platforms in the travel market are all factors for all parties Robotaxi The resources necessary for field development are currently focused on mutual achievement and win-win outcomes among all parties. The emergence of competition requires a foreseeable market scale within the medium to short term as a prerequisite.
However, Chang Yan believes that the cooperation between online car-hailing platforms and the aforementioned two parties is 'typical of an investment that does not match the revenue, and a risk that does not match the opportunity.' He explained that on one hand, travel platforms do not possess core technologies, so they may not benefit from the fruits of technological evolution; on the other hand, in terms of operations, travel platforms also need to bear Robotaxi Operational security risks. In addition, at this stage, Robotaxi The possibility of making money is minuscule.

Q Currently, there are reports that, similar to traditional automakers Geely's involvement in Cao Cao Mobility, new forces in the automotive industry, such as NIO and Li Auto, have also registered trademarks for online car-hailing services. In fact, last quarter of 2021, Xpeng Motors even stated that they were planning to 2022 Second half-year layout Robotaxi Why are several aforementioned automakers deploying online car-hailing services at this stage?
A : Looking at the entire online car-hailing market, new energy vehicle companies entering the market can better expand their business and absorb production capacity. Especially with national policy subsidies and incentives for new energy vehicles, competition in the new energy vehicle market has intensified. Entering the online car-hailing industry allows for rapid promotion of the brand and models of cars themselves. Due to the huge market demand for online car-hailing and C For end customers, automakers can directly enhance the comfort of riding through the promotion of their own vehicle-based online car-hailing services. This not only increases brand exposure but also attracts and converts more users into buyers, indirectly boosting automobile sales.
At the same time, with the maturity of autonomous driving technology and Robotaxi With advantages such as energy conservation and emission reduction, labor cost savings, etc., online car-hailing will become Robotaxi Important scenarios for commercial implementation.
Q He Xiaopeng said, doing Robotaxi The purpose is to obtain data, test software in a closed loop, and improve the stability of autonomous driving algorithms. This goal is quite similar to the objectives of autonomous driving companies collaborating with logistics freight companies, automakers, and ride-hailing platforms. From the current competitive landscape, automakers (traditional and new force car manufacturers) are making efforts Robotaxi What are the strengths and weaknesses? Robotaxi How far is it from us?
A : In terms of hardware, traditional automakers possess mature and complete capabilities in vehicle design, production, manufacturing, and sales. They have substantial capital and strong R&D strength, with years of accumulated automotive industry technology and experience. Their mature supply chain support system enables them to quickly enter the Robotaxi The field has expanded, yet traditional automakers have weaker innovation capabilities and lag behind in the development of autonomous driving technology and intelligent technologies. They started relatively late and developed slowly. New automotive forces have stronger innovation capabilities and faster development speed, capable of focusing on the research, development, and production of autonomous vehicle models. However, they lack financial strength and mature automotive experience, mainly relying on suppliers for production.
With the maturity of autonomous driving technology in the future, more strategic cooperation between automakers and internet companies will emerge. Through the accumulation of massive user data and the improvement of algorithms, Robotaxi It can provide users with a unique travel experience and intelligent travel scenarios, gradually realizing commercial implementation.

Executives from Frost & Sullivan are invited to share their valuation methods and investment logic for biotech companies PwC Wuhan Biomedical Innovation Acceleration Camp
Focus on the capital roadmap for enterprise growth, and deeply analyze the insights from practical cases. 9 month 7 day -8 On the day, the Wuhan Biomedical Innovation Acceleration Camp, hosted by the government and industry associations and co-organized by PwC, was held in Wuhan. The event focused on helping innovative enterprises in the biomedical field overcome development bottlenecks, connect with market, technology, customer, and capital resources, and access professional service resources to quickly achieve 1 reach N The breakthrough growth is achieved by creating a first-class soft business environment, matching the rapid hardware development of the park with precise coordination and optimization of resource investment. This accelerates the rapid development of enterprises that possess innovative technology, explore new business models of the times, and assemble outstanding professional teams.
Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan Mao Hua, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan's Greater China Region, was invited to attend the event and delivered a speech on A speech was delivered on the valuation methods and investment logic analysis of biotech companies.
Partner and Managing Director, Greater China, Frost & Sullivan fattening
Mao Hua said that the choice of valuation method should be combined with two dimensions: the enterprise lifecycle and industry characteristics. DCF model The valuation method is currently Biotech The most commonly used valuation method. DCF model The valuation method adopts the logic of discounting future cash flows, taking into account both dynamic growth potential of the enterprise and risk factors such as clinical failures.
Among them, the product sales forecast is DCF model The most important part of the valuation method is that the target patient volume determines the market space for the product's segment in the therapeutic field, and the calculation methods vary for different types of indications. Same type of treatment / The permeability of a drug determines the size of the company's target patient pool, while the competitive landscape and commercialization capabilities of the same type of drugs determine the company's market share.
In addition, there are differences in market share at different stages of the product lifecycle. Market competition, medical insurance access, or centralized procurement are key points. The market share of drugs during the introduction phase, growth phase, and after the expiration of original research patents all change. It is particularly noteworthy that medical insurance access often plays a decisive role in changes in market share.
Mao Hua pointed out that drugs with high valuations often possess high commercial value, which are measured by factors including disease burden, unmet clinical needs, policy benefits, and pipeline competition.
At the same time, new drug projects that pursue high commercial value come with high risks. Investment requires a comprehensive balance of risks from research and development to post-marketing stages. The risks of new drug projects are mainly divided into pharmaceutical properties risk and commercialization risk. Pharmaceutical properties risk focuses on the drug research and development stage, with different research and development difficulties corresponding to different pharmaceutical properties risks. Commercialization risk, on the other hand, is concerned with the risks of drug review and approval, drug production, and post-marketing sales.
"How to find a balance between business value and risk is at the core of the investment logic of biotech companies," said Mao Hua.
In addition, Mao Hua said that biopharmaceutical enterprises WACC Affected by factors such as the company's stage, product R&D progress, and macro market conditions. Data shows that 2005 - 2020 Annual Pharmaceutical and Biological Industry WACC mean 6.51% The overall volatility is higher than A Market for equity securities, since 2017 - 2018 Accelerate growth, 2019 - 2020 The year quickly fell back to near A Average stock price.
After introducing the valuation logic of drugs, Mao Hua explained to the guests present the valuation logic for medical device products. Medical devices mainly refer to two categories: medical equipment and medical consumables, with different product penetration and valuation logics accordingly.
The valuation of medical equipment needs to be based on penetration assumptions, taking into account the clinical needs of patients and the penetration rate of medical institutions. Medical consumables are valued based on the epidemiology of specific diseases, considering patient epidemiology, consumable usage patterns, and the penetration rate of medical institutions.
Finally, Mao Hua introduced, Frost & Sullivan has rich research experience in the healthcare industry, providing consulting services to healthcare enterprises throughout the entire process from early strategy to business operations. It particularly focuses on corporate growth and investment and financing decisions. recent 20 Over the years, the Frost & Sullivan team has provided financing and financial advisory services, as well as sales forecasting, to many outstanding healthcare enterprises at home and abroad. / valuation, IPO listing Industry consulting, strategic consulting, management consulting, and other services are provided to clients across various sub-sectors such as biomedicine and medical devices.

9 month 6 Yesterday, the National Healthcare Security Administration 2022 The list of declared drugs that have passed the preliminary formal review for the adjustment of the national basic medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, and maternity insurance drug lists has been newly publicized.
Upon review, 344 The passing rate of a drug after preliminary form review is 70% Including Western medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines outside the catalog 199 Western medicines and Chinese patent medicines in the portfolio 145 one. And 2021 year 474 a medicine 271 Compared with the previous period, the number of drugs that have passed the preliminary form review and been declared for approval has increased to a certain extent. In terms of the approval rate, the proportion of drugs outside the catalogue is 60% Proportion of drugs in the directory 91% .
Added 3 model PD-(L)1 inhibitor The product has entered the preliminary review list.
According to the document requirements, the scope of this adjustment to the medical insurance catalog includes 2017 year 1 month 1 day after tomorrow 2022 year 6 month 30 During the period, new generic drugs approved for marketing by the national drug regulatory authorities, as well as drugs whose indications or functions and indications have undergone significant changes.
Judging from the adjustments to the medical insurance catalog in recent years, the proportion of innovative drugs included has been increasing year by year. PD-(L)1 inhibitor As a representative of domestic innovative drugs, the competition is fierce, and price negotiations are worth paying attention to. Currently, there are already marketed products in China. PD-(L)1 inhibitor monoclonal antibody collection 13 Products, including 9 model PD-1 monoclonal antibody and 4 model PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, wherein 4 Model domestic PD-1 They have been included in medical insurance, namely Sintilimab from Innovent Biologics, Camrelizumab from Hengrui Medicine, Tislelizumab from Junshi Biosciences, and Trileucelizumab from BeiGene.
Judging from the preliminary review list, there are 3 model PD-(L)1 inhibitor New products have entered the preliminary review list, including Sru Li Mab Injection of Fosun Pharma's Fosun Herceptin Immonobulin (FHI) and Envykine Mab Injection of CanSino Biologics.
Already enrolled in medical insurance 4 model PD-1 This year, several new indications have been added. Triferumab: 1L nasopharyngeal carcinoma, 1 liter Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; Sintilimab: First-line for gastric cancer and first-line esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; Camrelizumab: First-line + Third-line nasopharyngeal carcinoma, esophageal cancer, squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC ); Tislelizumab: Non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC Second-line or third-line treatment, previously treated microsatellite high instability type MSI-H ) or mismatch repair gene defect type dMMR Treatment of advanced solid tumors, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ESCC Second-line treatment and nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC First-line treatment, as well as first-line combination therapy with albumin-bound paclitaxel and carboplatin for squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC ).
Wang Siyi, an analyst from Frost & Sullivan's Healthcare Group in Greater China, pointed out that at present 13 model PD-(L)1 inhibitor Approved in China 52 Indication: SinoCure Biologics, Hengrui Medicine Group Co., Ltd., Junshi Biosciences Inc., and BeiGene Biosciences Co., Ltd. 4 model PD-1 The approved indications for the product are as follows: 4 , 8 , 5 and 9 One, the indications included in medical insurance are as follows: 4 , 4 , 3 and 5 This year, in addition to paying attention to whether there will be new PD-(L)1 inhibitor In addition to products included in medical insurance, you can also check those that were previously covered. 4 Will there be new indications included for this product?
WuXi AppTec Genomics CAR-T The therapy has entered the preliminary review list
Last year, during the medical insurance negotiation, Fosun Pharma's pricing reached 120 ten thousand yuan CAR-T The therapy, axilelimab, has received much market attention but ultimately missed out on inclusion in the medical insurance catalog, with domestic products this year CAR-T The product already has two versions, namely Fosun Kite's axitinib injection (trade name: Yikaida) and WuXi AppTec's ruxolitinib injection.
However, judging from the preliminary review results, only Ruxience injection of WuXi AppTec's Juno Oncology Group Co., Ltd. has been included in the list, while Acalonase injection of Fosun Pharma's Kite Biologics Co., Ltd. has not made it to this year's medical insurance negotiation.
2022 The year marked the first full year of commercialization of cell therapy in China. And the aforementioned two CAR-T The market performance of the therapy has also attracted considerable attention within the industry. According to the latest semi-annual report disclosed by WuXi AppTec, 2022 A total of 77 Zhang CAR-T Treatment prescription, revenue is about 6600.7 Ten thousand yuan. Based on this, the revenue from a single prescription is approximately 86 ten thousand.
However, the National Healthcare Security Administration has also pointed out that this year, some drugs with relatively high prices have passed the preliminary form review, indicating that they meet the application conditions and are eligible to proceed to the next stage. Whether these drugs can ultimately be included in the national healthcare insurance drug list requires a comprehensive and strict evaluation including economic factors. Exclusive drugs that pass the evaluation will undergo negotiations, while non-exclusive drugs will go through bidding. Only those that successfully negotiate or bid can be included in the list.
4 model ADC All drugs have entered the preliminary review list
ADC Medications have been one of the hot research directions in the field of anti-tumor therapy in recent years, this year ADC The negotiation results of the drugs are also attracting attention. Last year, some were already launched domestically ADC Among the drugs, only Rongchang Biologics' vedicizumab has successfully negotiated a deal. Takeda's brevetuximab was shortlisted but failed negotiations, while Roche's enfuramtuzumab did not pass the preliminary review list.
Currently, there are a total of 5 model ADC The drug has been approved for marketing. 2021 year 6 Month, Rongchang Biology's ADC Drug Veddioximab (RC48) Approved for listing, becoming the first domestic product to go public ADC New drugs. In addition to this, it also includes Seagen/ Takeda's Vebrutuximab (CD30 ADC) Roche's enfuramatumab (HER2 ADC) Pfizer's ogavilimab (CD22 ADC) , as well as the recently approved cloud-based oncology treatment for lymphoma, GC014 ( Trop2 ADC ).
Judging from the preliminary review results, in addition to Yunding Xinyao's GS-TRIO ( Trop2 ADC ), the other four ADC The medications have all been included in the list.
In addition, Jiang Tengfei, Senior Healthcare Industry Consultant at Frost & Sullivan Greater China, also pointed out, 2022 and 2021 annual average Biotech The year when innovative drug products are included in medical insurance marks an important “major exam&rquo;, and for local companies Biotech The inclusion of innovative drugs in medical insurance is conducive to their rapid scale-up, accelerating commercialization. At the same time, it alleviates patients' payment problems and improves their quality of life, which is of great significance.
" 2022 In [year], key concerns in the preliminary review list CAR-T , ADC medications, PD-(L)1 inhibitor wait. Among Chinese innovative pharmaceutical companies, Yasheng Medicine's Bcr-Abl Inhibitors olaparib and Hengrui's CDK4/6 Inhibitor Darciplatin and AR Antagonist Veruconazole, BeiDa Pharmaceutical ALK The inhibitor ensartinib is worthy of attention. ' Jiang Tengfei said, 'The annual medical insurance negotiations include a list 1 And directories 2 In addition to newly launched drugs, the expansion of indications also requires medical insurance negotiations. Rational price negotiation strategies and key choices will continue to challenge the wisdom and endurance of managers at leading domestic biotech companies.
The National Healthcare Security Administration pointed out that in accordance with the Interim Measures for the Administration of Essential Medicines and 2022 The 'Work Plan for the Adjustment of the National Basic Medical Insurance, Work-related Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance Drug List in 2023' stipulates that the adjustment of the medical insurance drug list is divided into several stages: enterprise declaration, formal review, expert evaluation, negotiation and bidding. The formal review is just one of these stages. Passing the formal review indicates that the drug is eligible to proceed to the next stage of expert evaluation. Only by successfully completing all stages of the list adjustment can the drug ultimately be included in the national medical insurance drug list.

Frost & Sullivan Insight & Extended Readings
Q Currently available: 344 Which varieties have been included in the preliminary review list? Which ones are more interesting?
A : The primary focus is on rare disease medication, which has appeared in this year's preliminary list Venetoclax/Aldurazyme/Idursulfase beta/Ofatumumab/Dimethyl Fumarate , focusing on fields such as digestion and metabolism, oncology, and autoimmunity.
at the same time, CAR-T, ADC There are also several drugs in the field that have entered the preliminary review list, which is worth noting. Targeted HER2 of ADC For example, in the pharmaceutical field, last year Rongchang's product negotiations were successful, while Roche's products did not enter the preliminary review list. Takeda's vedolizumab was shortlisted but its negotiations failed due to extremely fierce competition.
In addition, pay attention to children's medications. They are included in this year's preliminary list 11 The treatment portfolio covers central nervous system diseases, immunological diseases, and more.
and PD-(L)1 inhibitor The medical insurance access is also quite interesting, 4 Domestic leading enterprises all have 2 - 4 A new indication application. The products of Hengrui, BeiGene, Innovent Biologics, and Junshi Biologics all meet the conditions listed in the catalog 2 ( 2017 year 1 month 1 day after tomorrow 2022 year 6 month 30 During the period, drugs whose indications or functions and indications have undergone significant changes, with the approval of national drug regulatory authorities, were included in the preliminary list for this medical insurance catalog adjustment. Competition for major indications is concentrated and fierce, especially for non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc. Among the newly approved products, only sulimumab and enzolimab have entered the preliminary list, while pamukamab, siparlimab, and sugimicab 3 The product has not been included in the preliminary review list. And import PD-(L)1 inhibitor It is reasonable that both have given up on medical insurance negotiations.

Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan Mao Hua, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan's Greater China Region, was invited to attend. BD At the "Venture Capital and Investment Projects Roadshow Forum," she delivered a speech on the core challenges and solutions facing the commercialization of innovative drugs, and participated in roundtable discussions. Chen Zhenrong, Director of Consulting at Frost & Sullivan's Greater China Healthcare Team, served as the moderator for the forum.
At the same time, Frost & Sullivan as BioCon Awards The strategic partner of the award ceremony, in collaboration with the organizer, Shangtu Pharmaceutical News, jointly released the [List of the Most Valuable Biotech Companies of the Year]. Mao Hua, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, attended the award ceremony and presented awards to the winning companies of the [Most Valuable Biotech Rising Stars of the Year].
Keynote - Analysis of the Commercialization Strategy of Innovative Drugs in China
Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China Region fattening
In recent years, the policy dividends encouraging drug innovation in China have been continuously increased. There is a high enthusiasm for drug research and development and innovation, and innovative pharmaceutical companies have witnessed vigorous development. With the Hong Kong stock market and A With the relaxation of the listing policy for pharmaceutical companies without revenue, the number of Chinese healthcare enterprises listed has gradually increased, alone 2020 , 2021 As high as 181 Chinese medical enterprises at home A Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, or US stock market, including 54 The listed company did not achieve profitability at the time of listing.
Texturing is first of all on Biotech reach Biopharma company The development path has been analyzed. According to it, Biotech Developed into Biopharma company There are roughly four stages involved, including early R&D / Product introduction, clinical trials & Approved for listing and local market access & commercialization, License Out/ Going global for sales.
In this process, pharmaceutical companies mainly face three major challenges: severe product homogenization, fierce price competition, and serious talent loss.
Mao Hua said that the high enthusiasm in China's pharmaceutical capital market and the relatively weak basic medical research capabilities are the main reasons for serious product homogenization.
2015 Year-end 2021 In [year], the financing amount in China's pharmaceutical market was from 371 Rise by hundreds of millions to 2,691 Yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate as high as 39.1% Meanwhile, 2019 Chinese Biomedical Literature in [Year] (Impact Factor IF>11.0 ) only 7,000 articles, nearly 7 There is a significant gap. Enterprises lack core innovation capabilities, so they tend to choose more mature targets, resulting in a large number of drugs under research targeting the same target. In addition, CDE The new policy has raised the listing threshold for innovative drugs, affecting local Biotech The R&D strength of enterprises brings more challenges.
It is not difficult to see from the comparison of medical expenditures between China and the US, as well as the prices before and after innovative drugs were included in medical insurance, that the profitability of innovative pharmaceutical companies has been challenged by patients' affordability and the pressure for price cuts through healthcare negotiations. 2021 China's healthcare expenditure in 7.6 100 billion yuan, while in the same period, the US is about 3.5 The huge gap in patient affordability has led Chinese pharmaceutical companies to be conservative in setting prices locally. The significant cost control measures of medical insurance have forced pharmaceutical companies to reduce prices in exchange for sales volume, resulting in a decline in profitability.
Facing the challenge of talent loss, Mao Hua said, Biotech The company is currently eager to recruit professional senior management talents to enhance its competitiveness. However, How to match a complete organizational structure with talent retention while leveraging its strengths is another key proposition. Frequent changes in senior management not only pose a risk of interrupting the company's overall strategy but also greatly weaken the confidence of key personnel in the company.
Mao Hua pointed out that innovative drug companies mainly have three strategies to solve commercialization problems: 'bringing in', 'grabbing market share', and 'going global'.
"Although License In The model has been repeatedly questioned in recent years, with corporate R&D capabilities becoming a core concern. However, this does not mean that the model has been phased out." Mao Hua further explained that a strong R&D capability, combined with an excellent pipeline selection strategy, can still be utilized to License In Bringing good development prospects to enterprises. Taking XianSen Pharmaceutical and ZaiDiMed as examples, XianSen Pharmaceutical has completed its revenue transformation through high-quality innovative drugs, while at the same time License in progress Expand pipelines to complete future layouts. 2022H1 The proportion of revenue from innovative drugs has reached 70% ; Zhele and Qingle from Zhejiang Regeneron Biologics Co., Ltd. License In The drug has achieved revenue growth.
Subsequently, the text is localized into Chinese. PD-1 Taking monoclonal antibodies as an example, it demonstrates the severe impact of factors such as national healthcare negotiations and fierce competition on the profits of innovative pharmaceutical companies.
2020 In [year], the winning bid price of Sintilimab decreased 63.7% In the same year, the gross profit margin of Cinda 2019 year 88.1% descend to 83.6% ; 2021 In [year], the winning bid price of Camrelizumab decreased 85.2% In the same year, the gross profit margin of Hengrui's anti-tumor drugs 2020 year 93.4% descend to 90.7% ; 2021 In [year], the winning bid price of Trifercept decreased 70.8% In the same year, the gross profit margin of Junshi Biosciences' anti-tumor drugs decreased from 2020 year 88.8% descend to 70.6% ; 2021 In [year], the winning bid price for trastuzumab decreased 79.6% In the same year, the gross profit margin of BeiGene's anti-tumor drugs decreased from 2020 year 77.7% descend to 74.1% . To address this challenge, innovative pharmaceutical companies need to prepare a full life cycle commercialization strategy before the drug is launched on the market.
from 2022 annual part License expiration Looking at transaction data, License expiration Model for China Biotech It mainly has four positive significances: reducing R&D risks, simplifying production processes, expanding sales reach, and optimizing cash flow. at the same time, china Biotech We are also actively conducting overseas clinical trials for the pipeline.
However, it should be noted, Whether License expiration Whether it is independent overseas expansion, both require a high level of product competitiveness. A comprehensive and feasible overseas expansion plan is of utmost importance.
To achieve these three strategies, innovative pharmaceutical companies need to gradually enhance the organization's ability to drive business, thereby fully leveraging and capitalizing on talent advantages. Biotech grew into Biopharma company The only way.
Finally, Mao Hua summarized that successful commercialization does not necessarily require high marketing costs. Chinese innovative pharmaceutical companies need more systematic and forward-looking strategic support in the process of commercialization. Just as the research and development of innovative drugs requires innovative drug companies and CRO firm Just as regulatory agencies collaborate, the commercialization of innovative drugs also requires external management consulting / The power of market research firms.
Roundtable discussion
During the subsequent roundtable discussion, Mao Hua, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, and Partner at Kite Capital Management, Co-founder of WhaleQuest Biology Jin Qi, Li Jing, Founder and Chairman of Science Bridge Technology Transformation Center The two guests together, jointly Opportunities and challenges in the layout of pharmaceutical investment and financing, Discussions were held on topics such as the changes in the investment logic of biomedicine under the global pandemic and reflections.
Q : How do you view single markets and global markets?
Fattening: The Chinese market globally 15%-25% However, if further divided into more specific sectors, some diseases have different markets due to regional differences. For example, liver cancer is common domestically but rare abroad. The sales logic of different products in different countries varies greatly, which is influenced by local markets, policies, payment capabilities, and other factors.
Q : Under the current pandemic, what are some proud changes in the investment field or what are the strategies and practices that remain unchanged?
Fattening: Many domestic listed biotech companies are essentially catching up with the gap with foreign counterparts. Compared to abroad, there is still a gap in cell and gene therapy, and the current trend is still to follow in their footsteps. The development of medical devices domestically is also progressing slowly. China has seen more biotech companies emerging in upstream research and development in life sciences. For early-stage projects, I hope everyone can have confidence and give these industries some time to develop.

9 month 5 On the opening day, the sector related to innovative medical devices rose significantly. Among them, minimally invasive medicine (00853.HK) The increase once exceeded 14% Peijia Medical (09996.HK) The stock price soared nearly 7% ; Qiming Healthcare (HK) (2500.HK) Stock prices also soared 5% However, Qiming Medical and Peijia Medical began to decline in price during the session. As of today's close, Peijia Medical was slightly down. 0.95% Qiming Medical tumbled 9.12% .
From the perspective of messaging, it is in conjunction with the National Healthcare Security Administration 9 month 3 First response on the news regarding the centralized procurement of innovative medical devices 9 month 3 On the same day, the National Healthcare Security Administration released an announcement regarding the "Opinions of the National Healthcare Security Administration on the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress" 4955 Reply to the Proposal No. ( hereinafter referred to as the 'Reply' ) In the 'Reply', the National Healthcare Security Administration has responded to questions regarding the centralized procurement of innovative medical devices for the first time.
In the 'Reply', the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) stated for the first time that due to the immaturity of the clinical use of innovative medical devices and the temporary difficulty in estimating their usage volume, it is still difficult to implement volume-based procurement methods. During the centralized volume-based procurement process, the NHSA will reasonably determine the volume ratio based on factors such as clinical usage characteristics, market competition patterns, and the number of winning enterprises. A certain market space is reserved outside of centralized volume-based procurement to provide room for innovative products to develop their market.
This means that innovative medical devices will not be included in the centralized procurement scope for the time being. As of now, the National Medical Products Administration has approved 173 The registration and launch of an innovative medical device mainly involve cardiovascular intervention, IVD Medical imaging, peripheral intervention, surgical robots, diagnostic software aids, tumor treatment, and other fields.

Jiang Tengfei, Senior Consulting Director of the Healthcare Team at Frost & Sullivan Greater China, told ECONOMIC OBSERVATION that for a long time, domestic substitution has lacked competitiveness in high-end surgical instruments. However, in recent years, there has been a surge in innovative medical device products with independent intellectual property rights, such as laparoscopes. / Orthopedic surgical robots, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery MIGS including glaucoma drainage devices in ( ).
In his view, the statement from the Medical Insurance Bureau is quite important for innovative medical devices. To a certain extent, it protects innovative medical device products from fierce market competition and retains reasonable profits to promote academic dissemination. This is because the commercialization of most innovative device products depends on the R&D technical background of the founding team, lacking experience in scientific marketing planning. Moreover, many are limited to specific regions and lack national layout. This usually results in certain progress in some provinces but slow advancement at the overall Chinese market level.
Zhejiang Merchants Securities Research Institute stated that since 2019 Since China launched centralized procurement of high-value consumables in 6 The month has passed 64 In the centralized procurement model, the main varieties procured are those with a high market share, such as vascular interventional devices, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and dentistry. From the medical insurance bureau's response this time, innovative medical devices can be temporarily exempted from volume-based procurement, which demonstrates the policy's strong support for medical innovation. Subsequently, the industry space for medical device innovation will continue to expand.
CITIC Construction Investment also pointed out that in the future DRG , DIP During the reform of medical insurance payment methods, it is expected that innovative devices will be given separate consideration, which is conducive to ensuring a reasonable life cycle and profit margin for innovative products. We continue to be optimistic about investment opportunities in innovative devices. Considering recent policy views, we believe that the marginal relaxation of medical insurance policies for innovative devices is on the horizon.
