According to CRI analysis, from 2021 to 2025, the sales of Salmeterol/Ticasone in China will have a recovery growth with the improvement of the epidemic situation and normal operation of overall diagnosis and treatment in hospitals. After the patent for Salmeterol/Ticasone expired, more biosimilar drugs will appear in the market. In China, Respirent Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd has already submitted an application for Salmeterol/Ticasone in 2021. Therefore, in the next few years, the market share for Glaxo Wellcome (formerly the wellcome Foundation) and GlaxoSmithKline (France) will gradually shrink. At the same time, with the launch of biosimilar drugs, the price will be further reduced. The price adjustment will reduce the burden on patients, thereby increasing the use and sales of Salmeterol/Ticasone.
