The global biopharma industry is entering a new phase of accelerated growth, driven by macroeconomic expansion, ageing population, technological advancements and the rising demand for healthier lifestyles. As a high-tech, high-value-added sector, biopharma has become a key strategic focus for governments worldwide.
While the United States and Europe have long dominated the global biopharma market, the rise of new Asian economies, such as Japan, South Korea and especially Singapore, has significantly reshaped the landscape. Singapore, with its forward-looking vision, recognised early that biotechnology would define the 21st century. Backed by strong government support, the country has implemented a comprehensive set of policies to develop the sector, including expanding funding channels, attracting global talent, building industrial parks, fostering innovation clusters and accelerating the commercialisation of research outcomes. These measures have successfully positioned Singapore as a leading biopharmaceutical hub in Asia and a leading destination for global pharmaceutical investment.
China is also rapidly emerging as a biopharma powerhouse. With the industry designated a key strategic emerging sector, the Chinese government has rolled out a series of supportive initiatives to promote innovation, build competitive industrial capacity and enhance international cooperation, providing a favourable environment for new entrants and global partnerships.
