[The price of cynomolgus monkeys has risen to 220,000-260,000 yuan/animal. Breeding companies say the market supply continues to be tight] Reported on November 6, a reporter recently learned from two cynomolgus monkey breeding companies in Wuhan and Guangzhou as a purchaser that the current market reference price of cynomolgus monkeys has risen to 220,000-260,000 yuan/animal. Among them, a staff member of a breeding company in Guangzhou said that monkeys of some age groups are currently out of stock. The specific supply needs to be further verified based on the purchase quantity, animal age, gender and other specifications. A staff member of a breeding company in Wuhan said that domestic cynomolgus monkey resources are particularly scarce. The company has sold out all commercial monkeys available for sale in the first half of the year. There is currently no spot and no clear follow-up sales plan. The price of cynomolgus monkeys usually rises further in the second half of the year to the end of the year, and it is expected that subsequent price increases are still possible. Xiaocai’s Note: Cynomolgus monkeys are important non-human primate experimental animals in the process of biomedical research and development. They are mainly used in the preclinical evaluation stage of new drug research and development. Before candidate drugs enter human clinical trials, it is usually necessary to conduct pharmacological, pharmacokinetic and toxicological safety studies to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the drug. Judging from public procurement information, the winning unit price of the cynomolgus monkey procurement in August 2026 was 188,000 yuan per animal. (Reporter Lu Afeng)
