Market pattern and analysis of heparin lithium

Overview of upstream and downstream heparin industry chain

Heparin is mainly found in pig intestinal mucosa, liver, lung and other tissue cells. It is a mucopolysaccharide produced by mast cells in animal tissues, with a molecular weight of 5000-30000. Because of its good anticoagulant effect, heparin has become one of the common anticoagulant drugs in clinic. Heparin products mainly include crude heparin, heparin API, standard heparin preparation and low molecular weight heparin preparation. Compared with overseas heparin API suppliers, China has inherent advantages and competitive advantages in low cost and sufficient supply of heparin API. The yield of heparin is calculated according to the ratio of the quality of extracted heparin to the quality of raw materials. The yield of crude heparin from pig small intestine mucosa obtained from fresh pig small intestine is about 2.25%, and the yield of refined heparin is about 0.74%. The yield of low molecular weight heparin prepared by chemical cracking method is about 70%.

Heparin industry market pattern

Heparin API is mainly used to produce standard heparin preparation and low molecular weight heparin API, and then produce low molecular weight heparin preparation. The potency of heparin API is the active unit (IU) contained in each milligram (mg) of heparin API. Countries generally require the potency range of 150-200 IU / mg. In 2019, the output of heparin in China was 23.00 trillion IU, a year-on-year decrease of 8.40%. The output of heparin API in China ranked first in the world.

According to the 2020 version of China heparin sodium Market Research and development trend prediction report released by China industry research network, in recent years, China's export enterprises operating heparin products have been maintained at about 50. Among them, the export volume of the top ten enterprises accounts for as much as 90%, and the cumulative export volume of the six main heparin API manufacturers accounts for 75%, showing a significant feature of high industry concentration; With the continuous improvement of the quality standards of heparin API in the United States and Europe, and the major enterprises in the industry have successively entered the capital market for financing to further increase their capital and technical strength, it is expected that China's heparin API industry will further concentrate on enterprises with advantages in technology, quality, scale and brand in the future.

Long term market analysis of heparin industry

From the perspective of the average export price of heparin in China, the price of heparin has fluctuated continuously since August 2019. During this period, the price has risen and fallen sharply. The reasons for the sharp fluctuation of heparin price mainly include several aspects:

1) The supply of heparin raw materials in the upstream of heparin industrial chain is tight. It usually takes about a year for heparin raw materials to be transmitted to heparin API. Due to African swine fever and other factors, the production capacity of pig small intestine decreased significantly. The price of pig small intestine increased by 44.32% from 2018 to 2019, and the price increase was transmitted to middle and downstream heparin products such as crude heparin and low molecular weight heparin products, resulting in an increase in price;

2) as the population aging continues to advance, the incidence rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is increasing. As an important anticoagulant and antithrombotic drug in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the downstream medical needs of heparin products are continuously released, resulting in the continuous increase of the demand for low molecular weight heparin and other products, and long-term pulling the upstream demand of heparin industry;

3) new demand brought by COVID-19
