BIOPHARMACEUTICAL company Bristol-Myers Squibb today said it expects its China's sales to grow by 27 percent this year, double the growth in 2011, based on strong demand for its key hepatitis and diabetes products.
Last year, BMS's sales in China added 13 percent year on year, higher than its global growth pace of 9 percent.
"We plan to introduce at least two new prescription drugs to the Chinese market this year and focus on getting more new innovative products registered in China," Jean-Christophe Pointeau, president of BMS China, said in an interview today.
By 2016, the company is expected to launch another three new drugs in the Chinese market to grab a bigger market share.
Pointeau said BMS China is accelerating its transformation into a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in four disease areas, namely hepatitis, cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
The United States-based biopharmaceutical company has tied up with local pharmaceutical companies such as Simcere Pharmaceutical Group and Wuxi Apptec to co-develop compounds that have the potential to be turned into new drugs.
