Why China ?
In/out-licensing is becoming the major business strategy among Chinese pharma.
China’s biotech deal market accelerated sharply in 2026H1. Out-licensing remained highly active, with 99 deals generating $4.97B in upfronts—nearly double the volume and value of 2025H1. In-licensing also rebounded strongly, with 14 deals and $55M in upfronts, up 40% and 175%, respectively, from 10 deals and $20M in 2025H1. Domestic partnering also surged, with transactions up 175% to 66 and upfronts rising 40% to $239M, highlighting broad-based momentum across China’s partnering market.
