Description
Paclitaxel is a chemotherapeutic tumor drug used to treat metastatic breast cancer after failure of combination chemotherapy or relapse within 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy. Its product, developed by Abolis, was approved by the FDA in 2005 and was approved in China in 2008. By 2020, there are 34 manufacturers in the Chinese Paclitaxel market, with Nanjing Luye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. accounting for the most market share in the Chinese Paclitaxel market.
According to CRI analysis, the sales of Paclitaxel in the Chinese market increased year by year from 2016 to 2019. Among them, the annual growth rate of 40.86% was the highest in 2019, from CNY2.168 billion in 2018 to CNY3.053 billion in 2019. In 2020, the hospital’s overall diagnosis and treatment services were impacted by the Covid-19 epidemic, and Paclitaxel was included in the second batch of national organization drug procurement due to more than 3 manufacturers. With the sharp price reduction in centralized procurement, Paclitaxel sales have declined with a growth rate of -18.64%. The CAGR of Paclitaxel sales in the Chinese market from 2016 to 2020 was 7.16%.
CRI analyzes that the Paclitaxel sales in China will increase steadily with the increase in breast cancer patients from 2021 to 2025. In 2020, the number of new cases of breast cancer worldwide reached 2.26 million, and breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, overtaking lung cancer. Therefore, the sales and sales volume of Paclitaxel for the treatment of breast cancer will increase accordingly with the increase in the number of patients diagnosed. Furthermore, Paclitaxel will be included in the National Drug Price Negotiation in 2021, and then its sales will keep a continuous rise. In addition, the effective alleviation of the Covid-19 epidemic will lead to a recovery growth in the sales of Paclitaxel.
