Chinese materia medica decoction pieces (CMMDPs), one of the three pillars of the Chinese materia medica industry, are a key link in the Chinese materia medica industrial chain. Industrialization is the only way for the modernization of CMMDPs. This review mainly summarizes the characteristics, history, current situation and prospect of CMMDPs industry, providing a new reference for promoting the flourishing development of the industrialization of CMMDPs and for serving massive health industry. The literature was collected from databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Elsevier and CNKI (Chinese). CMMDPs industry has the characteristics of regionalism, resource dependency, customer diversity and low industrial concentration. Deeply processed products include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula granules, small-packed decoction pieces, ultrafine decoction pieces, puffed decoction pieces, compressed decoction pieces and instant decoction pieces. Integration of treatment and processing at the place of origin is emerging. However, there is still room for improvement, for example, the manufacturing technologies of CMMDPs industry need to be continually improved. The management of CMMDPs' normalized production also needs to be strengthened. The quality of CMMDPs should be strengthened supervision and it should establish the objective and feasible quality evaluation system for CMMDPs. At present, China has attached unprecedented importance to the development of TCM, and issued a number of supporting policies, sparing no effort to support its development.
中药饮片（CMMDPs）是中药产业的三大支柱之一，是中药产业链中的关键环节。产业化是 CMMDPs 现代化的必由之路。本文主要综述了 CMMDPs 产业的特点、历史、现状和展望，为促进 CMMDPs 产业化的蓬勃发展，为服务大众健康产业提供了新的参考。文献来源于 Web of Science、PubMed、Elsevier 和中国知网（CNKI）等数据库。CMMDPs 产业具有区域性、资源依赖性、客户多样性和低产业集中性的特点。深加工产品包括中药配方颗粒、小包装饮片、超细饮片、膨化饮片、压缩饮片和速溶饮片。产地加工与炮制一体化正在兴起。但仍有改进的空间，例如 CMMDPs 产业的制造技术需要不断改进，CMMDPs 规范化生产的管理也需要加强，CMMDPs 的质量应加强监管，并建立客观可行的 CMMDPs 质量评价体系。目前，中国对中医药的发展空前重视，出台了多项扶持政策，不遗余力地支持其发展。
