The increased focus of Chinese companies on innovative drugs led to the approval of 30 medicines discovered in China in 2023, accounting for 37% of new drugs approved in China overall. Here, with the aim of illuminating the evolution in pharmaceutical R&D in China in recent years, we overview the current pipeline of domestic innovative drug candidates and compare it with our previous analysis from 2021 (Nat. Rev. Drug Discov.21, 553–554; 2022). For details of the dataset and analysis, see Supplementary Box 1.
