Will the National Biopharmaceutical Alliance’s Centralized Procurement Reshape the Biosimilar Market?

As the national biopharmaceutical alliance’s centralized procurement approaches, the biosimilar market is facing a major transformation. On January 14, 2025, the Anhui Provincial Medical Insurance Work Conference clearly stated that it would take the lead in the national biopharmaceutical alliance’s centralized procurement. This move is regarded as an “upgraded version” of biopharmaceutical centralized procurement, covering a wider range of varieties, a larger market scale, and more intense bidding. After the news of the centralized procurement spread, the stock prices of relevant pharmaceutical companies fluctuated. For example, the stock price of Innovent Biologics plummeted by 14% at one point after the news was announced, and the decline at the close was 10.16%.
