TREE NEWS update: JD Health will sign agreements with more than 20 global pharmaceutical and health brands at the 9th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, CEO Cao Dong said, naming Pfizer, Merck, Novo Nordisk, Takeda, Boehringer Ingelheim, Haleon’s Sino-American SmithKline, Novartis and Leo Pharma among the partners. JD Health already works deeply with the world’s top 50 multinational drugmakers. In the first three quarters of 2026, the platform launched more than 100 new drugs online, exceeding all of last year.
JD Health to Sign Deals With Pfizer, Merck, 20+ Pharma Firms at CIIE
The signal here is distribution, not the signing ceremony: global drugmakers are routing new-product launches through a single Chinese online platform at scale, and the CIIE setting makes that a public, repeatable commitment rather than a one-off. The 100-plus launches in three quarters already outpacing a full prior year suggests the platform is becoming a default first-release channel for multinationals. The open question is whether that launch velocity holds as more brands onboard, and whether the CIIE deals translate into sustained listings rather than headline announcements.
