UOB Kay Hian emphasized that INNOVENT BIO (01801.HK), HANSOH PHARMA (03692.HK) and SINO BIOPHARM (01177.HK) are its top picks.

The global biopharmaceutical market sized USD1.089 trillion in 2023, approximately 10 times the domestic market. In light of the humungous opportunities in the global market, Chinese companies are ambitiously pursuing international expansion through differentiated strategies.

BEIGENE (06160.HK), having established a fully integrated global platform, launched two innovative therapies overseas. Meanwhile, HUTCHMED (00013.HK), HANSOH PHARMA, and ABBISKO-B (02256.HK) are forming out-licensing partnerships with multinational companies, achieving significant milestones.
