Advantage India- In Pharmaceutical Market 


By Rohan chowdhury                        

The Indian Pharmaceutical Sector has come a long way. Considered to be a non-existing sector during 1970, it has rose to a prominent provider of health care products, meeting almost 95% of the country’s pharmaceutical needs. Currently the Indian Pharma Industry is valued at approximately $8.0 billion. There are some competitive advantages of Indian Pharma Industry such as follows:
  • The development of  cost-beneficial chemical synthesis for various drug molecules is excellent and cost effective.
  • With a democratic set up, the country possesses a solid legal framework and strong financial markets. This has helped in establishing a cordial bridge between international industry and business community.
  • The international pharmaceutical industry has discovered a wide range of  opportunities in India. The process of consolidation, which has become popular in the world pharmaceutical industry, has also taken place in the Indian pharmaceutical industry. The Indian pharmaceutical industry which is worth US $ 3.1 billion is growing at the rate of 14 % annually.

  2. Not only this Jibin, Many other molecules are also their.
    Another Interesting fact is now Days most of the Indian pharmaceutical companies are exploring to untouched markets like Central & Western Africa and Russia.Which sets the stage...

    and According to IPA survey,Indian pharmaceutical Market will reach to $20.73 billion by 2015 with a growth rate of 18-22%.
    And in terms of Rank it will be among top 10 markets.

      I had attended a meet where Mrs. Shaw, Biocon figurehead was talking about policy paralysis and stressing on the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model to sustain and develop the pharma scenario in India.What are your views on this..?
