Established in 2008, Tripod provides preclinical research and development services primarily for global biopharmaceutical and medical device research and development. Its current business scope covers services from non-human primate disease models, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, early drug efficacy evaluation and GLP toxicity to translational medicine, clinical trials, bioanalysis, central laboratory, and biological sample library.
According to Tripod's official website, the company has a laboratory that is one of the earliest in China to obtain NMPA GLP certification, international animal welfare organization AAALAC certification, and is capable of conducting nine GLP non-clinical drug safety evaluation projects. It is also the first GLP laboratory to be listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (新三板) in China, equipped with more than 500 sets of international advanced equipment and the Provantis computerized data acquisition system.
According to Frost & Sullivan's report, the global biopharmaceutical market was valued at USD 297.9 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to USD 530.1 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 12.20% between 2020 and 2025. From the perspective of the global drug market share, the global biopharmaceutical market share was 24% in 2021 and is expected to increase to 32% by 2025, with a significant growth rate. The three main driving forces behind the biopharmaceutical market are the healthcare upgrade demand brought about by economic growth, the aging population's favorable impact on the healthcare industry, and new technologies emerging from the continuous upgrading of the medical system.
