AbstractTraditional Chinese medicine has shown great development potential in recent years. Chinese government has identified modern Chinese medicine as one of the major focuses in its economic development in the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2001-2005). But the industry of TCM of China has lagged behind in the development of evidence-based modern Chinese medicine as compared with Japan and South Korea. At the same time, due to the China's access to WTO, the competition becomes more escalated and fierce than ever before. In order to survive and win the battle, it is necessary for domestic TCM manufacturers to learn the situation and environment into which they are embedded and to develop their own core competence to compete both in domestic market and abroad. In this aspect, competition analysis would provide a brief glimpse. This research study is an attempt to understand TCM industry's competition situation in China and abroad. The author chose a representative TCM enterprise-TRT Group-in Beijing and addresses major issues associated with the SWOT analysis. As this topic is evolving in China, this research paper provides general guidelines for the China domestic TCM manufacturers.
