Overview of the Antiviral Drug Sales Market
Overall, the sales amount of antiviral drugs shows a strong upward trend, but at the beginning of 2002, the sales amount of such products prominently declined (the quantity has been showing a straight upward momentum). This situation is mainly a direct consequence of the price reductions that most varieties of these products encountered at the end of 2001. In terms of the three major regions of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the overall trend shows a slight increase, with significant fluctuations in the Beijing market, while the Shanghai market is stabilizing. From the sales performance of various companies, GlaxoSmithKline from the UK and Guangdong Lijuzhiyuan Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. are in an absolute leading position in the antiviral drug market, belonging to the first tier. GlaxoSmithKline, with its "blockbuster" lamivudine in the antiviral drug market, stands out and has left other competitors far behind. The second tier includes Sichuan Antibiotic Biological Research Institute Pharmaceutical Factory, Zhejiang Juhua Group Pharmaceutical Factory, Hubei Qianjiang Pharmaceutical Factory, Zhejiang Zhebei Pharmaceutical Factory, and Swiss Hofmann-La Roche Pharmaceutical Ltd., whose sales amounts show a competitive stalemate. Who can enter the first tier will depend on whether they can gain an advantage in new varieties and marketing. Although there are as many as 8 products from the nucleoside analogs among the top 10 products, their total sales amount is still slightly inferior to that of lamivudine. Additionally, the total sales amount of ribavirin, which is in the 5th position, is only 5 percentage points higher than that of lamivudine.
