Investigation Report on China's Infliximab Market 2022-2031
Infliximab is a human-mouse chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) (composed of human IgG1 constant region and mouse variable region). It is used to treat a variety of autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Infliximab was developed by Johnson & Johnson. In 2007, Infliximab entered the Chinese market. The Chinese infliximab market is completely dominated by Janssen, a Johnson & Johnson company, until 2021. Two local Chinese companies, Taizhou Mabtech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Hisun Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. are launching infliximab in 2021, making Janssen's infliximab a challenge in the Chinese market.
According to CRI's market research, since Infliximab entered the Chinese market in 2007, its sales have had an increasing trend. However, the sales in China are suboptimal compared to global sales. The main reason is that most patients in China cannot afford the expensive price. After Infliximab was included in the national medical insurance in 2019, the sales increased about 18.9% in 2020 and reached CNY335.89 million in 2021. The CAGR of infliximab’s sales value in China is approximately 19.0% from 2017 to 2021.
According to CRI's market research and expert interviews, CRI sees different trends in 2022 and from 2023 to 2026 in China’s infliximab market.
Sales volume and value of infliximab in China are expected to decline in 2022 as the Chinese government implements a strict COVID-19 dynamic zeroing policy that will prevent many healthcare facilities in China from operating normally. It is expected that the Chinese government will relax the COVID-19 control policy from early 2023 onwards, and thus the sales volume and sales value of infliximab in China will show a recovery growth from 2023-2026.
