What Haohai Biological Technology does

Haohai Biological Technology (Shanghai Haohai Biological Technology Co., Ltd., 06826.HK / 688366.SH) is a Shanghai-headquartered biopharmaceutical company founded in 2007 and dual-listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (April 2015) and the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market (October 2019), making it the first H+STAR Market biopharmaceutical enterprise in China. The company is vertically integrated across the full biomedical materials value chain, from raw-material production (the only China manufacturer with both cockscomb extraction and fermentation-method approvals for sodium hyaluronate API) through R&D, manufacturing, and sales, organized around four therapeutic areas: ophthalmology, medical aesthetics and wound care, orthopedics, and anti-adhesion and hemostasis.

Its core technology platform spans proprietary hyaluronic acid cross-linking chemistry (four successive generations of dermal fillers 海薇/姣兰/海魅/海魅月白, with the fourth using world-first lysine organic cross-linking), medical chitosan technology (the only Class III-registered intra-articular injection for orthopedic joint cavity viscoelastic supplementation in China, awarded the National Science and Technology Progress Award Second Prize in 2009), the world's first approved recombinant human epidermal growth factor product (rhEGF, Class I new drug 2001), and intraocular lens manufacturing using self-developed hydrophobic mold-casting processes (Toric IOL ST1~ST7, patent ZL2022117178044). The product portfolio includes 25+ medical devices and pharmaceuticals sold under brands such as 海薇, 海魅, 海视盈, 奇特杰, 赛美视, 童享, 亨泰, 依镜, EndyMed, and 康合素.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market through direct field sales to hospitals, clinics, and medical aesthetics institutions across China, supplemented by channel partnerships and exclusive distribution agreements for OK lenses (Hengtai, Tongxiang), PRL refractive lenses (Yijing), and US Valley Contax scleral contact lenses (via the 2024 acquisition of 51% of Shanghai Shinhao). Strategic partnerships include the 2021 Eirion equity-and-licensing deal for botulinum toxin and ET-02 hair-loss candidates in Greater China, and the 2024 UCL Global Health Business School co-creation. International footprint is anchored by UK-based Contamac (high oxygen-permeable contact lens materials with FDA approval) and Israel-based EndyMed (RF aesthetic devices). 2025 revenue was 24.73亿 RMB with 2.51亿 RMB net profit, and the company maintained the #1 China position in ophthalmic viscoelastic agents (51.42% share), surgical anti-adhesion agents (25.87% share), and orthopedic joint cavity viscoelastic supplements (44.43% share).
