阿斯利康擬2030年美國投資500億擴大製藥基地




AstraZeneca宣布2030年前斥資500億美元擴大美國製造及研發

華盛頓消息——英瑞製藥巨頭阿斯利康(AstraZeneca)於週一宣布,計劃在2030年前投入500億美元,擴大其在美國的製藥生產和研究能力,這是製藥業界回應美國前總統特朗普關稅政策的最新大手筆投資。

該公司表示,這筆投資將用於在弗吉尼亞州建設一座全新的藥品製造廠,並擴充在馬里蘭州、麻薩諸塞州、加州、印第安納州及德州的研發及細胞療法製造設施。此外,阿斯利康還將升級其美國臨床試驗藥品供應網絡,並持續支持新藥研發的投資。

阿斯利康指出,此次擴張符合其到2030年實現每年營收達800億美元的目標,其中一半營收將來自美國市場。美國在2024年已佔該公司年度營收超過40%,而美國作為全球最大的藥品市場,市值高達6350億美元,一直是該公司重點發展的地區。

這次擴大美國業務規模,是製藥業界針對特朗普可能對行業加徵進口關稅、並推動國內製造的政策反應。過去,製藥行業通常不受貿易爭端影響。特朗普曾呼籲製藥公司更多在美國本土生產銷售的藥物,而非進口活性成分或成品,並希望美國藥價能降至與其他國家相同水平。

阿斯利康執行長帕斯卡爾·索利奧(Pascal Soriot)在華盛頓宣布計劃時表示,他認為藥價需要在其他國家上調,與美國價格「平衡」,讓其他國家能夠更多承擔研發成本。他強調:「美國不能為全世界承擔研發費用。」

美國商務部長霍華德·拉特尼克(Howard Lutnick)領導正在對製藥進口展開調查,可能為新關稅鋪路。拉特尼克在阿斯利康聲明中表示:「數十年來,美國一直依賴外國供應關鍵藥品。特朗普總統和我們國家的新關稅政策,致力於結束這種結構性弱點。」

儘管特朗普多次威脅對製藥業徵稅,他本月初暗示企業將有一年到18個月的緩衝期來調整,之後才會實施關稅。

阿斯利康表示,宣布此舉的時間點及地點與美國政策環境有關,但部分投資原本就計劃進行,以確保未來醫藥基礎設施到位。這項500億美元承諾,是在該公司去年11月宣布35億美元投資計劃之外的額外投入。

製藥業巨頭競相加碼美國投資

這500億美元的投資規模與瑞士競爭對手羅氏(Roche)今年4月的承諾相若,亦跟今年伊萊利利(Eli Lilly)、強生(Johnson & Johnson)、諾華(Novartis)和賽諾菲(Sanofi)等製藥公司公布的新投資計劃相呼應。

出席阿斯利康公布會的還有弗吉尼亞州州長格倫·楊金(Glenn Youngkin),他是特朗普的堅定支持者,亦曾為政府關稅政策辯護。

阿斯利康指出,位於弗吉尼亞的新廠是公司最大單一製造投資,將生產其實驗性減肥藥的活性成分,包括口服GLP-1候選藥物及口服PCSK9抑制劑(用於膽固醇管理)。

該公司表示,這項投資有望創造數萬個新工作崗位,惟未透露具體數字。阿斯利康在美國約有1.8萬名員工,全球員工約9萬人。

今年1月,阿斯利康曾因政府支持減少,取消原計劃斥資4.5億英鎊(約6.07億美元)投資英格蘭北部疫苗製造廠的計劃。

此外,本月早些時候《泰晤士報》報道,阿斯利康正考慮將其股票上市地從倫敦轉移至美國,倫敦證券交易所中阿斯利康是市值最高的公司,約1590億英鎊。該公司對此未予置評。

評論與啟示

阿斯利康此次巨額投資美國,明顯是回應特朗普政府的「美國優先」製造政策和對製藥業徵收進口關稅的威脅。這反映出全球製藥巨頭在面對地緣政治與貿易政策變化時,必須重新調整其全球供應鏈和研發策略。

然而,這類投資背後的成本與效益值得深思。雖然增加本土製造能降低對外依賴,創造就業,並符合政策導向,但也可能推高藥品成本,因為美國的生產成本普遍高於其他國家。索利奧提出的「讓其他國家藥價上升以平衡研發費用」的觀點,挑戰了現行全球醫藥定價的公平性和可持續性,這可能引發國際間更複雜的價格談判與貿易摩擦。

對香港及全球市場而言,這種趨勢預示著製藥業將更重視本土化與多元化生產基地,減少對單一國家的依賴,同時也可能促使藥品價格結構產生變化。投資者和政策制定者需密切關注這些動態,評估其對全球醫藥供應鏈安全、藥價及創新研發投資的長遠影響。

最後,阿斯利康考慮將上市地從倫敦轉移至美國,也反映出美國市場對製藥企業的吸引力日益增強,這對傳統歐洲金融中心的地位構成挑戰,香港作為亞洲金融樞紐,亦應從中汲取經驗,強化自身在醫藥及科技創新的投資環境。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a ultra-sharp studio portrait of a confident woman kneeling on the floor with her body slightly leaning back, her right hand gently touching her hair, and her left arm resting on her bent knee. She is dressed in a sleek, strapless black bodysuit that accentuates her figure, paired with elegant black patterned lace pantyhose that add texture and sophistication. She wears a pair of classic black high heels, elevating her posture and emphasizing her elongated legs. The background is a seamless, pure white studio backdrop, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic that directs full focus to her form and attire. *** The lighting setup is soft, evenly distributed, with a diffused key light positioned to the left, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her contours and highlight the intricate lace pattern of her tights. The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence. Use a professional camera with a 85mm or 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 for a shallow depth of field, ensuring crisp detail on her outfit and pose while softly blurring the background. Post-process minimally to enhance clarity, contrast, and natural skin tones, maintaining a polished, elegant, and modern aesthetic suitable for fashion or editorial photography. {
