AstraZeneca’s Taizhou production base, operational since 2014, initially focused on supplying diabetes products globally. With the introduction of the new production line, the facility is poised to have a substantial impact, anticipating an annual output value of $1.4 billion. The expansion aligns with AstraZeneca’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence in the Chinese pharmaceutical market and contribute to addressing the healthcare challenges posed by diabetes.
