COPD | China In-Depth | China | 2021

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death in China and, thus, a major public health concern. We expect the Chinese COPD therapy market to experience robust growth over the 2020-2030 forecast period, driven by the uptake of several recently launched, novel, premium-priced therapies—including LAMA/LABA FDCs and ICS/LAMA/LABA FDCs—and their inclusion in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List. Given the diverse late-phase pipeline, we expect more novel therapies to launch during the forecast period, further driving market growth. Additionally, in view of the ongoing reforms in China’s regulatory and access and reimbursement landscape, multinational companies will be encouraged to enter this market.
