PWC report:
The Indian pharma industry is on a good growth path and is likely to be in the top
10 global
markets by value by 2020. High burden of disease, good economic growth leading
to higher
disposable incomes, improvements in healthcare infrastructure and improved
healthcare
financing are driving growth in the domestic market.
Pharma companies are growing both organically and inorganically. Inorganic
growth
is happening through licensing and partnerships as high valuation of assets is
making
acquisitions difficult. Further, companies are organically improving their
operations and

productivity by increasing field force sizes, penetrating in Tier II and III cities and
by
expanding their product portfolios.
Indian pharma companies have also capitalised on export opportunities in
regulated and
semi-regulated markets by growing at a CAGR of 21.5%4
over from 2005 to 2011 and will
continue to grow in these markets.
Other trends like increase in coverage of health insurance, advancement in medical
technology and penetration of mobile health services will give further impetus to
the growth
of the Indian pharma industry.
The government of India is also considering a proposal to increase public
expenditure on
drugs from 0.1% of GDP to 0.5% of GDP5
and provide free essential medicines to all. Further
reforms are required in the insurance sector to include coverage of outpatient
expenses and
drug-related expenditure.
The Indian pharma industry has been facing several regulatory challenges like
foreign
direct investment (FDI) policy, pricing policy, patent protection, regulatory
approvals and
compulsory licensing, which require careful consideration by the companies as
they think

through suitable strategies in their pursuit of growth.
