Data shows that in 2025, the total value of Chinese innovative drug BD overseas licensing transactions reached $135.655 billion, with 157 total transactions. Entering 2026, innovative drug overseas licensing continues, with numerous pharmaceutical companies announcing innovative drug outbound deals in January alone.

Domestically, the 2025 National Reimbursement Drug List negotiations showed significant "polarization"—a small number of breakthrough innovative drugs maintained stable prices, while homogeneous products facing intense competition saw larger price cuts. Meanwhile, the centralized renewal procurement for batches 1-8 of national volume-based purchasing requires re-concentrated contract renewals, with inquiry-based price reductions being more moderate than competitive bidding methods.
