At 2008 New Year's Forum (antibiotic subject) hold by Healthoo.com, the focus of discussion is penicillin G and the down-stream products 6-APA and Amoxicillin. Because the last year's market trend was beyond everyone's expection, for example, in 2007 the highest price of Amoxicillin was 500 Yuan/kg, in the end of 2007 the price fall to below 250 Yuan/kg, and too high price brought some pressure to both manufactruers and purchaser. With the establishment and perfection of medical reform and the rapid growth of third terminal, cheap essential drugs will present a new round of growth. Based on this, most insiders thought that now the price of penicillin products had been comparative low, and the price should rebound in 2008 because of the implement of Environmental Protection plolicies, the price increasing of materials and rising value of RMB. In the view of supply chain, the production capacity isn't superfluous especially for Amoxicillin. According to the enterprises' opinions, the Amoxicillin price went down sharply in Dec. 2007, but the demand went up and the supply could't meet the demand. So the price will possibly rebound in the first quarter.
