Never underestimate the power of the tide. “AI+ empowerment” is becoming an important engine to promote the expansion of new quality productivity in various industries, and the medical and health system is no exception. For the medical and health system, improving productivity and efficiency while reducing the cost of patients and healthcare systems is an eternal topic. This also means that the greatest potential of AI+ healthcare lies not only in the application of one or two scenarios, but in assisting and optimizing medical services in all aspects, and completely rewriting the order of all links of “diagnosis and treatment”. At this year’s CIIE, through the display of Roche, the industry leader, we can see that this trend is already very obvious: AI is penetrating in multiple dimensions to meet the individualized diagnosis and treatment needs of patients and change the direction of the tide in multiple fields.

In 2022, Pfizer’s annual revenue exceeded $100 billion, making it the world’s largest pharmaceutical company in terms of revenue. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic quickly receded, revenue fell by 41% in 2023, and revenue ranking also dropped from first to fourth. Recently, the well-known radical investment institution Starboard Value invested $1 billion in Pfizer. What changes will this bring to this pharmaceutical giant? In 1849, Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart founded Pfizer in New York, initially focusing on the production of chemical products. During World War II, Pfizer successfully mass-produced penicillin and launched oxytetracycline, officially entering the pharmaceutical industry.

Since the 21st century, Pfizer has topped the list of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world (Pharm Exec ...

Weighing the risks is the primary issue that all pharmaceutical companies need to consider when going overseas. The cost of going overseas is not cheap. Not to mention the time cost required to build overseas clinical, promotion, and registration experience, the capital cost is the top priority. BeiGene provides a good reference: although it has seen the dawn of profitability, this is based on the total loss of nearly 50 billion yuan in the past five years; Legend Biotech’s overseas cost is not low either. It is estimated that it has spent at least 1 billion US dollars since the establishment of the Xidaqiolunsai project. Industry insiders commented that this is far more expensive than imagined. From the perspective of capital investment alone, it can be asserted that there are not many pharmaceutical companies that can play the two cards of “local + going overseas” at the same time. To ...
