The recent passage of the Biosecure Act in the US House of Representatives could impact the global biotech landscape, particularly for Chinese companies, Pulse News reported Thursday.
The bill seeks to lower the influence of Chinese biotech companies such as Wuxi Biologics (HKG:2269), Wuxi AppTec (HKG:2359, SHA:603259), and BGI Genomics (SHE:300676).
This move could open up new business opportunities for South Korean biotech companies such as Samsung Biologics (KRX:207940) and ST Pharm (KOSDAQ:A237690), the Korean news outlet said.
Samsung Biologics has already witnessed higher demand while ST Pharm was recently chosen as a supplier for a drug that was previously sourced from China, according to the report.
