China Business Intelligence Network News: The pharmaceutical equipment industry is the upstream of the pharmaceutical industry, directly affecting the quality of drugs. With the sustained and rapid development of China's economic situation and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the pharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly, which has driven the growth of demand for pharmaceutical machinery and equipment and promoted the prosperity of the pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing industry.
1、 Definition of Pharmaceutical Equipment
Pharmaceutical equipment refers to mechanical equipment used for process purposes such as drug production, inspection, and packaging. Due to the diversity of drug types and species, the diversity of their production processes is determined, and the types of pharmaceutical equipment also exhibit diversity characteristics. According to the basic attributes of pharmaceutical equipment products, they can be classified into eight categories: raw material pharmaceutical machinery and equipment, preparation machinery, pharmaceutical crushing machinery, beverage machinery, pharmaceutical water equipment, pharmaceutical packaging machinery, pharmaceutical testing equipment, and other pharmaceutical machinery and equipment.

2、 Policies related to the pharmaceutical equipment industry
In recent years, the country has successively introduced multiple policies to promote the development of the pharmaceutical equipment industry. The Notice on the Implementation Plan for Promoting the High Quality Development of the API Industry, the Notice on Several Measures to Support the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry, and the Guiding Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2019 Edition) have provided a good development environment for the pharmaceutical equipment industry, helping to promote its development. The specific policies are as follows:
3、 Development status of pharmaceutical equipment industry
1. Market size of pharmaceutical equipment industry
In recent years, the size of China's pharmaceutical equipment market has shown an upward trend, with the market size increasing from 21.21 billion yuan in 2016 to 35.87 billion yuan in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.04%. It is expected that the growth trend will continue in the future, and the size of China's pharmaceutical equipment market will reach 39.49 billion yuan in 2021, and further reach 44.36 billion yuan in 2022.

3. Number of pharmaceutical equipment enterprises above designated size
According to data, the number of pharmaceutical equipment enterprises above designated size in China reached 145 in 2020, and it is expected to reach 156 by 2021, with a further increase to 169 by 2022. It is expected that the normal equipment updating and technological transformation of pharmaceutical equipment enterprises will also have a considerable demand for pharmaceutical machines, with a bright future. In the future, pharmaceutical equipment enterprises still need to strengthen industry professionalism, improve product quality and safety levels, strictly regulate, and continuously improve their own product quality management level.
