Human Immunodeficiency Virus – Geographic Focus: China – HIV – China In-Depth – China
China has a high disease burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but patients are well managed by different classes of antiretroviral therapies (ARTs), including single-tablet regimens (e.g., bictegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide), fixed-dose NRTIs (e.g., emtricitabine / tenofovir), NRTIs (e.g., lamivudine, tenofovir), NNRTIs (e.g., efavirenz, nevirapine), protease inhibitors (e.g., lopinavir / ritonavir, darunavir / cobicistat), and integrase inhibitors (e.g., dolutegravir, raltegravir). The HIV therapy market of China is dynamic and growing fast as many effective ARTs—such as Merck’s Pifeltro and Gilead’s Biktarvy—boasting improved safety and tolerability, continue to launch. Several therapies, including tenofovir, lamivudine, efavirenz, abacavir, and lopinavir / ritonavir have enjoyed a high patient uptake in China owing to their free availability under the national free antiretroviral treatment program (NFATP) or improved patient accessibility due to inclusion in the NRDL. Despite the launch of novel therapies and improved drug-treatment rates, the HIV market of China is expected to grow moderately over the 2020-2030 period, owing to the price erosion resulting from the generic entry of many drugs and high discounts resulting from their inclusion in the volume-based procurement (VBP) programs.
