The declining prices of Chinese antibiotics pose a threat to European industries, particularly the last major penicillin factory in Austria, which faces potential closure. European buyers are increasingly opting for cheaper Chinese products, impacting local production.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted Europe's dependency on Asian pharmaceutical imports, prompting the EU to take action, including funding for the Austrian factory to boost production capacity.
