Bancassurance in China: Life, Non-Life and Creditor Insurance

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Bancassurance in China: Life, Non-Life and Creditor Insurance market report to its offering

Bancassurance in China: Life, Non-Life and Creditor Insurance is a study and related PartnerBASE™ dataset examining the provision of life, non-life and creditor insurance by banks and other lending institutions in China.

Drawing on the results of a survey of 110 banking entities in China, the study verifies the percentage of organisations investigated that distribute each of the following 13 types of insurance: accident insurance, creditor insurance related to consumer finance, creditor insurance related to credit cards, creditor insurance related to mortgages, critical illness insurance, health / hospital cash plans, household insurance, income protection insurance, investment-related life insurance, medical expenses insurance, personal motor insurance, retirement savings, and risk life insurance.

For those banking entities that are active in one or more of these fields, the reports ascertain the operating models that they use to source the type of insurance in question (e.g. external, joint venture or captive underwriters) and the identity of the specific providers used. This information is then displayed in terms of the weighted share of partnerships of these providers, which takes into account the number of retail customers of the partner banking entities, thus highlighting those insurance companies that hold the distribution relationships that offer the most potential.

You may be able to use this report and the PartnerBASE™ dataset that accompanies it in one or more of the following ways:

- gain access to a source of information that provides a comprehensive overview of the provision of personal insurance products by all significant banking entities in China;

- identify partnership opportunities for the same personal insurance products that may arise either because a banking institution is not currently active or because there is scope for replacing an existing initiative;

- understand which underwriters and other product providers have been successful in establishing distribution relationships with the most important banking entities in China;

- assess how the evolving regulatory environment may open up or block opportunities for your organisation to sell through the bank distribution channel;

- appreciate the magnitude of the opportunity to sell personal insurance products through banks and other lending institutions in China.

China Chemical Pharmaceutical Industry Report, 2011

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of China Chemical Pharmaceutical Industry Report, 2011 market report to its offering

"In Jan.-Aug., 2011, the gross industrial output value of Chinese chemical pharmaceutical industry surged by 24.54% YoY to RMB460.531 billion, up 2.67 percentage points over the same period of last year, presenting remarkable upward momentum. The chemical pharmaceutical industry of China chiefly comprises two sub-sectors chemical API and drug preparation which show differentiated development.

China is currently the world’s largest producer and exporter of chemical API and can produce more than 1,500 varieties with the capacity approximating 2 or 3 million tons. However, key bulk API products including vitamins and antibiotics witness overcapacity, which has resulted in low-price competition bringing adverse impact on the export of API. In Q1 2011, the API export of China increased by 39.53% year-on-year, with the export value rising 31.31% from the same period of last year, while the average export price fell 5.89% year-on-year. In particular, the average export price of Vitamin C slumped by 30%.

In comparison with chemical API sector, the chemical drug preparation sector of China enjoys higher profitability as a whole, with the gross margin in 2010 hitting 39.6% and two-fold of that of API industry. Yet, chemical preparation industry of China is still in its infancy with short R&D capability of new drugs, and therefore the production of generics is the mainstream.

The report focuses on the market size and development trend of China chemical pharmaceutical industry as well as the market scale of API and chemical preparation on the basis of the outlook for new drug R&D and market development worldwide. In addition, the market planning and new drug R&D of the leading 20 listed industrial players is also analyzed here.


Northeast Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. is one of the largest Vitamin C producers in China. In 2011, the Vitamin C capacity of the company reached 25,000 tons. Currently, its investment is mainly earmarked for API. Also in 2011, it raised funds RMB2.645 billion to build Xihe-based API production base covering Vitamin C API, fosfomycin series products, L-carnitine series, and so forth.

As one of key chemical pharmaceutical companies in China, the operating revenue of. Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd in Jan.-Sep., 2011 increased by 25.51% year-on-year to RMB8.195 billion. Its holding subsidiary, Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical, is regarded as the largest immunosuppressant producer in China.

Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd is the one with the most new drugs independently developed among pharmaceutical companies in China. In 2011, it filed for the production of four new drugs with ClassⅠ-Ⅲ and for the clinical trial of four new chemical medicines with class Ⅲ-Ⅴ and one biological medicine with class Ⅸ. Moreover, eleven new chemical medicines with class Ⅰ-Ⅴ and one biological medicine with class Ⅸ were under clinical trial. In December 2011, Irinotecan injection developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co. won the FDA certification and became qualified to be sold in the US market, which made it be the first of this kind among Chinese peers.
