DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83925) has announced the
addition of "China's Pharmaceutical Industry - Porter's Five Forces
Strategy Analysis" to their offering.

The Chinese pharmaceuticals market is forecast to become the
worlds firth largest by 2010 - and the largest by 2050. There are
still greater market access following Chinas entry into the World
Trade Organization (WTO), multinational investors continue to face a
range of obstacles, many of which stem from the legacy of central
planning of the industry. These include complex distribution,
under-developed retail options, intellectual property infringements
and pricing controls and pressures. At the same time, the continuing
reliance of leading domestic companies on generic drugs has prevented
the emergence of Chinese brands.

However, the industry is still small-scale, with a scattered
geographical layout, duplicated production processes, and outdated
manufacturing technology and management structure. The Chinese
pharmaceutical industry also has a lower market concentration and weak
international trading competitiveness, coupled with a lack of patented
pharmaceuticals developed in-house.

Aruvian Research analyzes China's Pharmaceutical Industry in
Michael Porter's Five Forces Analysis. It uses concepts developed in
Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that
determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a
market. Porter referred to these forces as the microenvironment, to
contrast it with the more general term macro-environment. They consist
of those forces close to a company that affect its ability to serve
its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces
normally requires a company to re-assess the marketplace.
