industry in China.The first part of this paper is the introduction,significance and theory basis.This section is originated with the reality and the theory background to extend some questions why we carry out this research.Furthermore,a review has been described about the domestic and international advances of scientific and technological innovation.The current status and characteristics of domestic and foreign pharmaceutical industry are discussed as well as their science and technology innovation characteristics.Some confusing terms,such as innovation,technological innovation,technological innovation of pharmaceutical industry,are also elaborated in detail.The theory of technology innovation is further analyzed about its emergence,development and future trend.It's visable to be understood about the divergence of four theorier of innovation,as following as technology innovation,system innovation,ecological innovation and comprehensive innovation,which provide a theoretical basis for the follow-up analysis and study.The second section is the characteristic of demestic and international pharmaceutical industry.The current status and situation of pharmaceutical industry are discussed invidually at demestic and international level.In recent years,the demand of pharmaceutical international market has promoted the rapid increase of the pharmaceutical industry in developing countries or regions and a slow growth in deceloped countries,of emerging markets.The characteristics of pharmaceutical industry in foreign countries are highly concentratation of enterprises,high level of R&D investment,mainly chemical drugs in the market and rapid growth of biotech drugs.It is known that the medical technology innovation has the characteristics of high-tech,high investment,high return and high risk,as well as a strong administrative background.Furthermore,the innovative characteristics of foreign pharmaceutical industry have become a high degree of monopoly,a new mode of technology alliance for new drugs development,and several researches of various types of products at the same time.From a domestic perspective,the proportion of China pharmaceutical industrial output has rosen steadily in overall China's industrial sectors.The pharmaceutical market keeps a rapid growth which the revenue,profit and export value of pharmaceutical industry continue to maintain a high growth rate.The pharmaceutical industry investment in fixed assets also increases with the enomous needs of giant population and health in China.Comparing to the developed countries,the development characteristics of China pharmaceutical industry has its special profiles as following:the pharmaceutical industry is influenced significantly by national policies;primary drug products are not availbel;there are a huge number of pharmaceutical enterprises with small scale,low competitiveness,serious repeats at low level;the phannaceutical enterprises are facing strong competitive pressures of international multinational enterprises.The innovation characteristics of China pharmaceutical industry consist of Chinese is a large country but not a strong country of pharmaceutical industry;the ability of medical science and technology innovation is poor;the research and development of imitation medicine are encouraged;alliance role of production and research lacks of effective mechanism and operation entity;the period of drug development evaluation system is too long.The third section has discussed the innovation theory of science and technology on effect of pharmaceutical industry.It's concluded that the science and technology are the primary productive forces and the leading force of modern economic growth.The ability of independent innovation determines the competitiveness of a country.However,there is a big gap between China and other innovative countries.The fundamental way is innovation to solve the economic development of China and the core power of development depends on technological innovation.This effect is also founded which technical innovation is the key power and the eternal theme in the pharmaceutical industry.Besides that,technological innovation is the key to improve the core competitiveness of pharmaceutical enterprises which can effectively solve the bottleneck of the development of pharmaceutical industry in China.The forth section reviewed the current status and challenge of the technological innovation of pharmaceutical industry in China.In the past 30 years of reforming and opening,a series of huge success had achieved in the pharmaceutical industry.Its annual growth had been more than 17.7%which remained the head among all the industry categories.A series of innovation achievements were emerged contitually.The supply capability of pharmaceutical industry had become stronger than before.The number of innovative enterprises also increased significantly.The merger and reorganization among the pharmaceutical industry had become more common.The development of small and medium enterprises showed an active potential of innovation.However,there were some problems that the pharmaceutical industry had to be faced,which included irrational allocation of pharmaceutical resources,lack of high talent in pharmaceutical industry,less new drug varieties,more competion from foreign pharmaceutical enterprises,the small scale and low competitiveness of national enterprises,and the low ability to develop new drugs.The main reasons of these problems were determined politic system,policy,research and development funding,basic research and resoures allocation.In spite of that,there were some oppontinities in the new stage.First of all,the government had paid more attention to the pharmaceutical industry and provied a favorable policy environment.Since the rapid development of biotechnology and more wide range of funding sources had injected new vitality into the pharmaceutical industry has brought new opportunities for the maintainment and development of Chinese medicine industry.The fifth section has performed an empirical analysis on the technological innovation of pharmaceutical industry by using the principal factor analysis method.Considering the impact of technological innovation of pharmaceutical industry which may-have,some factors of pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise scale,quantity,profit,taxes,the number of R&D personnel,R&D expenditures,new product sales revenue,patent number and others,are analized to detect if these factors will influence the technology innovative ability of China's pharmaceutical industry by using the principal component.The results showed that the ratio of the sales revenue of new products and the main business income played a key rule in the technological innovation of pharmaceutical industry.Other factors will have a rather relationship of pharmaceutical innovation to some extent.These results showed a foundation in the development of innovative strategies and recommendations for the pharmaceutical industry.The sixth section introduced the experiences of the United States of America about its technological innovation of pharmaceutical industry.In this section,some unique practices of USA had been elucidated as possible,such as the policy management system,related institutions of pharmaceutical industry,innovation subject,innovation model,financial market system,training and introduction of talents.It's worth mentioning that the government of USA had paid special attentions to the intellectual property protection and basic research.It suggested that our country should combine the national conditions to develop the corresponding industrial policy,promote the combining mode of manufacture,research and study,explore diversified capital market.The seventh part is described about the measures and suggestions to promote scientific and technological innovation of China's pharmaceutical industry.At the system innovation level,the market allocation of resources should be implemented to maximize the fairness of the allocation of resources under the premise of ensuring and improving efficiency,as far as possible to meet people's health needs.The idea which development was drived by innovation
