Pharmaceutical electrical Business: "Year of the Year" to
2015, the Internet Drug sales policy restrictions, entered the countdown to the floodgates.
"The draft on the administration of Internet Food and drug management measures" has been finalized and may be announced earlier than the market expectation. Industry authorities told the first financial daily.
Previously, the final opening period of this major policy was widely expected to be 2015 "two sessions" before and after.
For the drug production and management industry that has been highly regulated, "Internet sales liberalization" is not only a simple channel widening, but also a difficult change in the regulatory thinking.
"Compared to other industries, the pharmaceutical industry's Internet development is the overall lag, but the pace of development is very rapid." Sheng, vice president of China Pharmaceutical Enterprise Management Association, forecasts to the first financial daily that the policy dividend of the medical and pharmaceutical companies is coming fast and that the overall industry development will break out in the next two or three years.

But another industry reality is the low profit dilemma--in 2013, China's pharmaceutical industry, the average gross profit margin of 19.3%, the cost rate of 20.6%, the average profit margin of 1.3%, a small number of companies to achieve profitability, net interest rate is not more than 2%, only the United States 20%~40% giant chain of electric power.
Sheng that policy barriers are the biggest obstacle to the development of the industry, in particular, prescription drugs and health care-domestic drug terminal sales, prescription drugs more than 80%, to medical institutions sales-oriented; Because online pharmacies can not be combined with Medicare, new farming and other medical security system, in the online pharmacy to pay when the drug payment can not use the health insurance card to pay, Sales growth in retail pharmacies, including online pharmacies, has been very limited.
