From 2017 to 2018, my country's export of APIs to the United States achieved rapid growth, with year-on-year growth rates reaching 23.84% and 8.87% respectively. However, starting from the second half of 2018, due to the impact of the additional tariffs imposed by the United States on imports from China and a small amount of APIs, my country's export of APIs to the United States has continued to shrink. In the second half of 2018, it contracted 2.79% year-on-year, and in 2019 it decreased again. 1.23%.

 

Since the beginning of this year, the United States has continuously declared that it will take measures to reduce its dependence on Chinese APIs.

From January to July, my country’s exports of APIs to the United States reached US$2.702 billion, a year-on-year increase of 7.07%. The exports of anti-infectives, hormones, vitamins and other categories directly related to the epidemic have all achieved substantial growth.
