The research period of this study is from January 2000 to December 2020, a total of 240 months. The production, sales and inventory value indicators of blood glucose diagnostic reagents and other diagnostic reagents in the medical chemical manufacturing industry are compared with those of representative biomedical products. The closing prices of stock companies are compared with the leading-lagging and the percentage difference during the period of Taiwan’s business cycle, the peak and trough periods of the stock market indicators, respectively The conclusiojns are as below:
1.Comparison of research variables on the base day of the business cycle and the average of the business cycle and the stock market: blood glucose inventory value and ApexBio closing price peaks and troughs are the lead of the prosperity; the production and sales of blood glucose diagnostic reagents and the production, sales and inventory of other diagnostic reagents The peaks is behind and the valley bottom is leading, which means that the prosperity period is long and the recession period is short, and they belong to the market grower.
2.Comparison of research variables with the stock market: ApexBio closing price leads the peak and the trough is behind, representing the shortest boom period and the longest recession period, and belongs to the market saturated; other diagnostic reagent inventory values are lagging behind at the peak and trough, representing the market follower, the stock market. It can be used as a leading indicator of the inventory value of other diagnostic reagents; the production and sales of blood glucose diagnostic reagents and the sales value of other diagnostic reagents are lagging behind at the peak and leading at the bottom of the valley. This represents a long period of prosperity and a short period of decline, and belongs to market growth.
3.Comparison of product category averages and comparisons between the business cycle and the average of the stock market: lagging at the peak and leading at the bottom, indicating that this industry is a growth industry.
4.Comparison of production, sales, and inventory averages. The business cycle and the stock market averages: production and sales lag behind the peak and lead at the bottom of the valley, which means that the boom period is long and the recession is short and belongs to the market growth; the peak and bottom of the inventory value are both leading Belongs to the forerunner of the economy.
