Singapore: China is undergoing major healthcare reform and the bio and pharmaceutical market is expected to maintain double digit growth of approximately 20 percent to reach over $35 billion by 2015. It is predicted that this rapid growth will contribute to China becoming the world's second largest pharmaceutical market over the next three years.

According to ChinaBio Today, China's Minister of Health commented that China plans to spend $11.8 billion in order to increase biopharma innovation in its 13th Five-Year Plan, which covers the period 2016-20.
