[i3] Webinar: Healthcare Innovation in China

Healthcare Innovation in China

Many investors would be surprised to learn that China is transforming its healthcare ecosystem into one that is incubating a promising culture for future healthcare innovation. In fact, China is one of the world’s fastest-growing major healthcare markets with a 5-year compound annual growth rate of 11%, or almost triple the U.S. rate of 4%—and these estimates don’t account for the significant enhancements since the coronavirus outbreak.

Catalyst for long-term growth

The long-term growth opportunities in the Chinese healthcare sector are driven by several dynamic trends:

  • An aging population
  • An increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, particularly cancer
  • Growing wealth to afford medical care
  • Regulatory reform, and
  • An influx of capital and talent

 

In this webinar co-hosted with Jennison, Sara Moreno, emerging markets portfolio manager, will share research perspectives on the structural changes in China’s healthcare system and the long-term growth potential.

“We expect the Chinese pharmaceutical industry to gradually shift from volume-driven growth (generics) to evidence-based novel drugs (biologics and targeted therapies)”

 While the U.S. is the world’s leading biotech superpower, China has become an increasingly important player in biotechnology too.
