The 18th China Health Industry Ecological Conference (CPEO) will be held in Boao, Hainan from August 16 to 21, 2025. The theme is “Rapid Transformation, Navigating the New Cycle – Reconstructing Fundamental Growth Dynamics and Industrial Ecological Evolution.” In the face of pressure on traditional growth models and the reshaping landscape by emerging technologies (such as AI healthcare and innovative drug globalization), the conference will delve into the successful commercial translation of pharmaceutical innovation and address the full chain challenges from lab to market3.
In 2024, the sales value of all categories in China’s retail pharmacy market was RMB 528.2 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 2.1%3.
In 2024, the profits of the pharmaceutical industry experienced a year-on-year negative growth for the first time (decreasing by 0.9%), but the chemical API sub-sector achieved growth in both revenue and profit3.
With enhanced consumer health management awareness and increasing pursuit of beauty, pharmacies are attempting to strategically transform from “drug retailers” to “health and beauty solution providers.” The 2025 CPEO will also host a “Beautiful Economy Development Forum” to explore related ecological innovation and high repurchase growth3.
