Business
Yunnan Baiyao Group Co., Ltd. (000538.SZ) engages primarily in the research, development, production, and sale of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products with a focus on traditional Chinese medicine. The company offers a diversified portfolio encompassing health products including toothpastes, shampoos, and skincare creams; prescription and over-the-counter drugs such as Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, ointment, capsules, powder, band-aids, and hemostatic agents; medical devices; traditional Chinese medicine resources like herbal raw materials (e.g., Sanqi/Notoginseng); tea products; and medicine distribution services through its commercial arm. Founded in 1902 and headquartered in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, the company operates across four major business segments—pharmaceuticals, health products, traditional Chinese medicine resources, and pharmaceutical distribution—with geographic reach extending to China, Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, Japan, and other international markets. In recent developments, Yunnan Baiyao completed the full acquisition of Juyao Hall in August 2025 for RMB 6.6 billion in cash, bolstering its capabilities in Chinese herbal decoction pieces and granule formulations with complementary northern China sales coverage and performance commitments projecting net profits of RMB 66 million in 2025. The company underwent major organizational restructuring since 2023 alongside senior management changes, launched 50 new products contributing to 12% year-over-year sales growth, announced expansion into 10 additional countries targeting $100 million in new revenue by 2025, and formed a strategic partnership with Peking University Hospital of Stomatology to advance oral health initiatives. Its Smart Factory earned recognition from the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network in September 2025, underscoring advancements in intelligent manufacturing.
