According to the published report about global pharmaceutical packaging, the size of the 2013 global pharmaceutical packaging market is expected to reach USD 62.3 billion and the strongest growth is in the Asia-Pacific region. In the future, China will become the main force in growth of the pharmaceutical packaging industry in the Asia-Pacific, and its annual growth rate is expected to reach 11.5%. Some experts predict that by 2020, China will become the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world. Under the 12th five-year plan, the pharmaceutical industry will maintain a growing momentum in China in the future. Today, with the endless stream of new pharmaceutical products, there is a vast development space for the pharmaceutical packaging industry in China. The topics like safety and compatibility of pharmaceutical packing materials, scientific and humanized packaging design, masterful and advanced packaging technology, and profound understanding and interpretation of pharmaceutical packaging material registration standards are the focus of the pharmaceutical packaging industry.
There's no substitute to personal connections. This is why you should attend the 2014 China Pharmaceutical Packaging Innovation & Management Conference to increase your knowledge and build your network. Engaging with like-minded peers and pharma thought leaders, and exploring the latest industry advancements, you will drive a breakthrough in your pharmaceutical packaging innovation & management.
AGENDA
9:15 Registration
09:45 Opening speech from the chairman
09:50 Session 1: The revision of the pharmaceutical packaging material registration standards
In order to strengthen the supervision and management on the packages and containers which have direct contact with pharmaceuticals, on 20 July 2004, China Food and Drug Administration issued a regulation on packages and containers which have direct contact with pharmaceuticals.
Inviting speakers:
Sun Huimin, Director, National Institute for Food and Drug Control
Hui Yu, Director, Drug Packaging Material Department for the Zhejiang Institute for Food and Drug Control
Rong Cai, Deputy Director, Shanghai Food Drug Packaging Material Unit for the Control Centre
11:10 Tea break and networking
11:30 Session 2: Discussion on the regulatory compliance of pharmaceutical packaging
In addition to providing protection, the safety and compatibility of pharmaceutical packing is also a very important consideration. The regulation of packaging material for medicines has become an important factor in the development of packaging material for drugs. But, the development and management of domestic drug packaging is now facing a dilemma. Facing with the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and the lack of appropriate raw materials, many companies feeling enormous pressure. In this lecture the speaker will share and explore the solutions to these problems.
Xu Hao, Senior Manager of Global Engineering, Johnson & Johnson (China)
12:10 Session 3: Discuss pharmaceutical packaging though design, technology and materials
With the development of the economy and technology, pharmaceutical packaging materials for special products are constantly upgrading. Since the strengthening of people's environment protection consciousness, pharmaceutical packaging is moving toward a safer, more convenient and more pollution-free direction. New materials and technology will become the trend of the pharmaceutical packaging in the future!
12:30 Lunch
13:30 Session 4: Packaging Design and Cost Saving
Competing is becoming stronger and and stronger, all pharmaceutical companies face the cost pressure, e.g. raw materials cost, labor cost, logistics cost, competition and government pricing etc. In order to meet the needs of drugs properties, many new packaging materials with high price are applied for the pharmaceutical packaging. How to use the new technologies, new materials, new process, new ideas for packaging design and development, how to down the cost and keep the quality, they become the prioritized projects for the companies and packaging developer.
BI Yinhui, Packaging Development Manager, Sanofi (Hangzhou)
14:10 Session 5: Discussion on the safety and compatibility of pharmaceutical packing materials
Pharmaceutical production and packaging systems should operate in accordance with their intended applications. It is necessary to carry out the effective evaluation of the safety and compatibility of that pharmaceutical packing which will be registered or sold. Excepting the safety evaluations of pharmaceutical packing which are included in chemical assessments (extractable and leachable), biological assessment, assessment and toxicology all need to be the subject of much further research on questions such as stability and the absorption properties of drugs. In this lecture, the speaker will focus on the methods, ideas, and biological and toxicological evaluation processes for pharmaceutical packing and chemical safety assessments, as well as the latest progress made in research.
Vera Liu, Technical Manager, Baxter Healthcare Suzhou Co.Ltd
14:50 Tea break and networking
15:10 Session 6: External audit criteria for Certification Companies
15:30 Session 7: Discussion of the development trends in pharmaceutical packing materials and forms for the future
Based on the endless stream of new drugs and the increasing rigour of regulations for pharmaceutical packing, the safety and diversification of pharmaceutical packaging materials and forms has become a hot item of discussion within the industry. Some experts predict that by 2020 China will become the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world. This will provide yet more requests for packaging materials and forms. In this lecture, experts will share their views on future pharmaceutical packaging trends.
The revision does emerge pharmaceutical packaging industry development in China?
Improved the value of packaging under scientific and humanized packaging design
Enhanced the control of pharmaceutical packaging cost under masterful and advanced packaging technology
