With the rapid innovation and global integration of China's pharmaceutical industry, more and more international buyers are turning their attention to China to seek high-quality and cost-effective pharmaceuticals. However, for many overseas purchasers, navigating the Chinese pharmaceutical market—from finding reliable channels to verifying product quality—remains a daunting task.
As a leading pharmaceutical wholesaler in China, DengYue Medicine has years of rich experience connecting global purchasers with trusted Chinese pharmaceutical suppliers. Here, we are willing to share our professional insights. This guide will take you to fully understand the core points of purchasing pharmaceuticals in China, including how to purchase safely, how to identify high-quality pharmaceuticals, and how to simplify the procurement process with the help of a reliable wholesaler.
Why Choose China for Pharmaceutical Procurement?
Before delving into "how to purchase", let's first clarify "why purchase"—why has purchasing pharmaceuticals in China become a strategic choice for global buyers? At DengYue Pharma, we have witnessed the transformation of China's pharmaceutical industry firsthand, and the following core advantages make it an unmissable procurement destination:
● Global-Leading Innovation Strength: China currently accounts for more than 20% of global Investigational New Drugs (INDs), ranking second in the world. Innovative drugs such as Zanubrutinib, Sugemalimab, and Ensartinib have gained international recognition, providing cutting-edge treatment solutions at highly competitive prices.
● Cost-Effectiveness Advantage: Compared with Western markets, Chinese pharmaceuticals (including generic drugs and innovative therapies) are usually priced more advantageously without sacrificing quality. This cost advantage is of subversive significance for global procurement teams and medical service institutions.
● Mature Supply Chain System: China's pharmaceutical supply chain has become increasingly mature, with advanced cold chain logistics, digital tracking systems, and strict quality control processes, ensuring that pharmaceuticals can be delivered in a timely manner and maintain product integrity even during international transportation.
● Compliance with International Standards: More and more Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturers have obtained international certifications such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals, and European Medicines Agency (EMA) certifications, and their products can directly enter global markets.
It is precisely because of these significant advantages that more and more global purchasers choose to layout the Chinese pharmaceutical procurement market. Choosing a professional and reliable local wholesaler can help you seize these opportunities more efficiently. Next, DengYue Pharma will detail the core channels and practical methods for purchasing pharmaceuticals in China.
How to Identify High-Quality Pharmaceuticals in China? DengYue's Exclusive Quality Verification Tips
Ensuring pharmaceutical quality is the top priority for all purchasers, and it is also the core responsibility and advantage of DengYue Pharma. Counterfeit or substandard pharmaceuticals not only pose health risks but also damage your company's reputation. Therefore, mastering scientific quality verification methods is crucial. Based on years of quality control experience, DengYue Pharma has summarized four core identification tips to help you accurately identify high-quality pharmaceuticals.
1. Verify Manufacturer Qualifications (First Step in Quality Control)
The quality of pharmaceuticals lies in the qualifications and strength of the manufacturer. Therefore, verifying the manufacturer's qualifications before procurement is the first step in DengYue Pharma's quality control and the core method we recommend to all purchasers:
● National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) Approval Number: All pharmaceuticals sold in China must have an NMPA approval number (which can be found on the product packaging). You can verify the authenticity of this approval number on the official website of the NMPA. The approval numbers of all manufacturers cooperating with DengYue Pharma have undergone double verification.
● International Certifications: Pay attention to whether the manufacturer has GMP, FDA, EMA, or World Health Organization (WHO) certifications—these certifications indicate that the manufacturer meets global quality standards and are one of the core standards for DengYue Pharma to select cooperating manufacturers.
● Manufacturer Reputation: Prioritize well-known, established manufacturers with a good reputation. Such manufacturers have more mature and reliable quality control systems. DengYue Pharma only cooperates with manufacturers with excellent quality and compliance records to avoid quality risks from the source.
2. Inspect Product Packaging and Labeling (Intuitive Identification of Authenticity)
Product packaging and labeling are the "ID cards" of pharmaceuticals and important carriers for intuitively identifying the authenticity and quality of pharmaceuticals. Combined with DengYue Pharma's practical experience, the following details need to be focused on:
● Clear and Standard Printing: The packaging of genuine pharmaceuticals is clearly printed without typos, blurred text, or uneven printing. The packaging of counterfeit pharmaceuticals is usually of poor quality with rough details, which is one of the easiest features to identify.
● Complete and Comprehensive Information: The label must include the product name (in both Chinese and English), active ingredients, specifications, dosage form, manufacturer's name and address, production date, expiration date, batch number, NMPA approval number, and storage conditions—none of which can be missing. DengYue Pharma checks all this information one by one before delivery.
● Anti-Counterfeiting Marks: Many Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturers add anti-counterfeiting labels (such as QR codes and holographic anti-counterfeiting). Scanning the QR code can directly verify the authenticity of the product with the manufacturer. DengYue Pharma will also assist you in completing the anti-counterfeiting verification to ensure that the purchased products are foolproof.
3. Request Quality Test Reports (Scientific Verification of Quality)
If packaging and labeling are intuitive judgments, then quality test reports are the core basis for scientifically verifying pharmaceutical quality. DengYue Pharma recommends that before finalizing a purchase, you must request a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from the wholesaler. This report contains detailed test results of the product (such as purity, potency, and stability), which can directly confirm that the product meets quality standards.
DengYue Pharma provides authoritative CoAs for every product it supplies, and all reports have undergone compliance review. If third-party testing is required, we can also assist in arranging it, using professional methods to escort the quality of your procurement.
4. Rely on the Quality Control System of a Trusted Wholesaler (Full-Process Worry-Free Guarantee)
For international purchasers, the most worry-free and reliable way to ensure quality is to rely on the professional quality control system of a trusted wholesaler like DengYue Pharma. At DengYue Pharma, quality control runs through the entire procurement process—from manufacturer selection and product warehousing to outbound inspection and logistics monitoring, every step is supervised by a professional team.
Our quality control team is very experienced, specifically responsible for identifying counterfeit or substandard pharmaceuticals and verifying product quality, allowing you to avoid investing too much energy in quality identification and truly achieve worry-free procurement.
The above four tips cover full-dimensional quality identification methods from the source, intuition, science to full-process guarantee. Mastering these tips can effectively avoid quality risks in procurement. In addition, DengYue Pharma has summarized key precautions for international procurement to help you smooth the entire procurement process.
Key Precautions for International Pharmaceutical Procurement in China
In addition to channel selection and quality identification, there are many details to pay attention to in the international procurement process, which directly affect the smoothness and safety of procurement. Based on years of experience in serving international purchasers, DengYue Pharma has summarized four key precautions to escort your procurement journey.
● Compliance Control: Familiarize yourself with China's pharmaceutical-related regulations (such as the Two-Invoice System and export restrictions) and the import requirements of your home country/region. Compliance is the premise of procurement and the key to avoiding subsequent risks. DengYue Pharma's compliance team can provide professional guidance and assist you in controlling compliance details throughout the process to ensure the smooth progress of import and export procedures.
● Logistics and Cold Chain: For temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals (such as biologics), the professionalism of logistics and cold chain directly affects pharmaceutical quality. DengYue Pharma has an advanced cold chain logistics system, providing temperature-controlled transportation and real-time tracking services, monitoring transportation temperature throughout the process to ensure that pharmaceuticals maintain their quality during transportation and reach their destination directly.
● Price Negotiation: Bulk purchases are usually eligible for more favorable prices, which is also one of the core concerns of international purchasers. As a large-scale wholesaler, DengYue Pharma has strong bargaining power with manufacturers, enabling it to provide highly competitive quotes for international partners while ensuring product quality, achieving maximum cost-effectiveness.
● After-Sales Service: Comprehensive after-sales service is an important part of procurement guarantee and one of the core service advantages of DengYue Pharma. We provide 24-hour customer service to promptly solve any problems you encounter in terms of products or logistics. Whether before, during, or after procurement, we are with you every step of the way.
The above four key precautions cover the four core dimensions of compliance, logistics, price, and after-sales service, and are also the focus of the full-process services provided by DengYue Pharma for international purchasers, helping you avoid various procurement risks and ensuring that the procurement process is efficient, smooth, and worry-free.
