China's biotech industry has emerged largely because of beneficial policy changes, increased program funding, low labor costs, and reorganization of China's science and technology system. Bio-related technologies have applications in a wide variety of industries. These industries are: 1. biopharmaceuticals, 2. new drug development, 3. lab supplies, 4. bio-services, 5. chemical and enzymes, 6. agri-and aquaculture, and 7. environmental products and services. Intellectual property and an underdeveloped capital market remain the largest barriers to biotech growth in China. A lack of management and investor seasoning is also a hindrance to foreign participation in China's biotech industry. Despite the sector's weaknesses, China's strengths -- low-cost, highly skilled technologists and scientists, a strong track record in life-science research, a high-quality returnee pool, advantageous policies and tax treatment, and China's entrepreneurial culture -- all indicate a promising future.
