Pharma opening measures under the 2026 action plan | 医药产业开放新措施

Overview

As part of the Action Plan for Stabilizing and Improving Foreign Investment (利用外资固稳促优行动方案), China is advancing a set of pharma and healthcare opening measures (issued 16 June 2026, 商资发〔2026〕97号; effective from 1 July 2026). These refine and extend the market-access path for foreign pharma and medtech companies, sitting alongside the general healthcare/pharma market-access framework.

This article focuses on the pharma-specific openings and is intended as a complement to the broader “Healthcare & pharma market access” brief.

Informational guidance only; exact eligibility and pilot regions are set by the drug regulator (NMPA) and pilot authorities, so verify before acting.

Measures at a glance

Drug segmented manufacturing

  • Study and issue rules for drug segmented manufacturing (药品分段生产实施细则).
  • Facilitate overseas marketing-authorisation holders (MAH) in conducting cross-border segmented manufacturing of biologics and chemical drugs.
  • Allows foreign MAHs to split the manufacturing process across sites/jurisdictions under defined rules, supporting flexible global supply.

Biotech and wholly-foreign-owned hospital pilots

  • Expand pilot regions for biotechnology and wholly-foreign-owned hospitals (外商独资医院).
  • Build an industry collaboration platform to help foreign-invested enterprises’ drugs enter the retail channel.

Insurance coverage and retail access

  • Encourage insurers to include more innovative drugs and devices in commercial insurance coverage.
  • Continuously encourage quality innovative drugs and devices to enter the China market.

How it relates to the broader access brief

  • The general Healthcare & pharma market access article covers NMPA registration, licensing and the baseline path for foreign pharma/medtech entry.
  • This brief covers the 2026 policy increments — segmented manufacturing, expanded pilots, and insurance/retail access — that lower specific frictions for foreign players.
  • Read both: the access brief for the baseline; this brief for the newest openings.

What to do next

  • Foreign MAHs: assess whether segmented manufacturing fits your supply chain and watch for the implementing rules and eligible sites.
  • Medtech/pharma groups: track expanded biotech and wholly-foreign-owned hospital pilot regions for location and eligibility.
  • Market-access teams: engage insurers and retail channels early to plan commercial-insurance and retail access for innovative products.
  • Coordinate with the drug regulator (NMPA) and pilot-region authorities on eligibility and application windows.
  • Combine this brief with the general market-access article when building your China pharma entry plan.
