2025 will be a more normalized year for China's healthcare industry, with pharma firms expected to gradually adapt to the new norm, Goldman Sachs released a research report saying.

However, the industry is not yet expected to quickly recover from the impact of policies like recent anti-corruption, national healthcare insurance disease diagnosis related group (DRG) reform and achieve a V-shape recovery.

In addition, Goldman Sachs believed that the application of AI is too early to have a significant impact on the industry in the short term, although generative AI has become a buzzword in the pharma industry.

Goldman Sachs lowered its target price for covered Chinese healthcare companies by -8% to +13%, based on recent industry development trends, including more policy support for innovative drugs, the impact of volume-based procurement on biosimilars and the demand and price trend of APIs, etc..
