According to media reports, recently, it was reported that Tongrentang issued a price adjustment notice to raise the sales price of Angong Niuhuang Pill (3G * pill / box) from 780 yuan to 860 yuan, an increase of about 10%, which will be implemented from December 1. In 2012, Tongrentang adjusted the price of Angong Niuhuang Pill from 350 yuan to 560 yuan and to 780 yuan in 2019. This is its third public price increase. On the evening of the 14th, a reporter from chinanews.com came to a pharmacy in Xicheng District, Beijing. The clerk said, "at present, the price of Angong Niuhuang Pill in Tongrentang is 860 yuan. The price just adjusted last week was 780 yuan before. The price of Angong Niuhuang Pill of other brands has not been adjusted." The staff of another drugstore in Xicheng District said, "Tongrentang Angong Niuhuang pills have been out of stock recently. They sold 780 yuan a pill before. It is estimated that if they enter again, the price will rise." Online channels, such as Ali health pharmacy and Jingdong pharmacy, the reporter noted that the price of each box has also been adjusted to 860 yuan.

Will Jiuzhitang, which also owns Angong Niuhuang pills, increase its price? Recently, Jiuzhitang said in an institutional survey, "in recent years, the raw material cost and labor cost of Chinese patent medicine have been rising. Based on the above situation, the company will carefully consider the pricing strategies of different products according to the characteristics of different products, as well as the development strategy and business model of specific products, combined with the overall situation of the industry." As another "divine medicine" in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, some media pointed out that every time Tongrentang Angong Niuhuang Pill raised its price, pianzi Huang would increase its price. Is the film price rising this time? Recently, in response to "whether there is a price increase plan", Pian Zihuang said, "the price adjustment of the company's products is based on the comprehensive consideration of production, market, cost and other factors, and the relevant information will be disclosed in time." Although the price increase has not been announced yet, Southwest Securities pointed out in a research report that from 2004 to 2020, the price of Pianzihuang products has been increased 19 times. It is not only a "frequent customer" in the field of traditional Chinese medicine price increase, but also suffered crazy speculation this year. In June, the online selling price of pianzi Huang once rose from 590 yuan / tablet to 1500 yuan / tablet, and then returned to the normal price.

The prices of many traditional Chinese medicine products should have increased this year." Why did the prices of traditional Chinese medicine products rise one after another? "In recent years, the overall cost, especially the raw material cost and labor cost, has been rising", which has become a frequently mentioned point of pharmaceutical enterprises. Taking Angong Niuhuang Pill as an example, one of its main components is natural bezoar. Mr. Yang, a drug dealer in Bozhou, Anhui, the "capital of Chinese medicine", told chinanews.com, "at present, the natural bezoar has risen to more than 500000 per kilogram. At the beginning of the year, it was almost 500000. This year, it has risen by tens of thousands. Now it is completely out of stock." According to the data of traditional Chinese medicine information center of traditional Chinese Medicine Association, the price of natural bezoar (natural bile yellow) in Anguo pharmaceutical market has increased significantly in recent years. The price per kilogram has increased from 175000 yuan in mid-2016 to 500000 yuan at the beginning of this year, and again to 520000 yuan in August this year. Not only natural bezoar, the price per kilogram of Coptis chinensis rose from 105 yuan in October 2020 to 150 yuan at present, the price per kilogram of cinnabar rose from 520 yuan at the beginning of the year to 620 yuan today, and the prices of Chinese herbal medicines such as Atractylodes macrocephala and nux vomica almost doubled compared with the beginning of the year. Anguo Chinese herbal medicine index shows that since the beginning of the year, rising more or falling less has become a normal situation in the Chinese herbal medicine market. In November, the Angolan traditional Chinese medicine price index rose by 2.43% at the end of the month compared with the beginning of the month, almost the same as the 2.47% rise in October. A novel coronavirus pneumonia has caused the price increase of Chinese herbal medicines. "The demand for Chinese medicine is increasing globally, or the price increases are driven by the demand," said a pharmacist. Mr. Yang also said, "like the price of forsythia, it was 50 or 60 yuan before the epidemic, but now it has risen to more than 100 yuan." From the feedback of pharmaceutical enterprises, climate is also a major influencing factor. In reply to "Forsythia rose from 30 yuan to 120 yuan", Zhendong pharmaceutical said that this is a long-term process from 2018 to 2021. It is mainly because Forsythia suffered from the effects of cold flowers in early spring, drought and long-term low temperature in spring, resulting in the decline of output and the increase of price. Liu Yuejie, vice president of Anguo traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Hebei Province, pointed out that the market periodicity is also leveraging the price fluctuation. The traditional Chinese medicine market is generally in a cycle of 5 years and 10 years. Now it is in a rising stage. According to other insiders, in order to standardize the quality standards of traditional Chinese medicine and decoction pieces, after the implementation of the "limited amount of 33 banned pesticides" of the Pharmacopoeia Committee this year, the industry standards have been improved, and the costs of manpower, production, processing and testing have also been increased accordingly.
