Key issues answered through this analysis: What are acute and chronic ailments? What is the proportion of drugs for each segment in the total domestic formulations market?

Publish Date: 15-Jul-2013 | | Majority of ailments in India are more acute than chronic in nature Types of ailments Source: CRISIL Research Ailments can be classified into acute and chronic.

...Indian Pharma – likely future trends Years back, Isaac Asimov said, “Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.” While it may not be a matter of life and death for the Indian pharma industry, it certainly is the transition time and like any transition, it has its pain, as well as gain. Indian pharma has enjoyed a decadal growth rate of ≈13%, except for the year 2013, when due to large number of formulations coming under price control, growth rate plummeted by more than half to little over 6%. In couple of months of that year, pharma market actually de-grew - a first in the last 50 years! That was unthinkable. Clearly it was the time, which made people pause and think. And that lead to churning in the thinking of the companies – what’s the road ahead? For sure, during 2014, companies have been busy regaining their composure and the lost sales, but parallely, they have been trying to answer the vital question – what’s next? Everybody believes that the industry will continue to grow at double digit rate in the foreseeable future. But will the existing business model be the only key driver of the growth, is an open question, with multitude of the views. One thing seems pretty certain that the pharma industry will not remain same in immediate to medium future. For starter, industry will learn to live with more price control at regular intervals. Same happened in 2014, and will continue in 2015 and beyond. There is absolutely no ambiguity in government...

...Company Name : Abbott India Assignment 2- Overview of the Industry (a) Degree of competitiveness in the industry; The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades. The leading 250 pharmaceutical companies control 70% of the market with market leader holding nearly 7% of the market share. It is an extremely fragmented market with severe price competition and government price control. The pharmaceutical industry in India meets around 70% of the country's demand for bulk drugs, drug intermediates, pharmaceutical formulations, chemicals, tablets, capsules, orals and injectibles. There are about 250 large units and about 8000 Small Scale Units, which form the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5 Central Public Sector Units). These units produce the complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production of pharmaceutical formulations. Following the de-licensing of the pharmaceutical industry, industrial licensing for most of the drugs and pharmaceutical products has been done away with. Manufacturers are free to produce any drug duly approved by the Drug Control Authority. Technologically strong and totally self-reliant, the pharmaceutical industry in India has low costs of production, low R&D costs, innovative scientific...

...1) Pharmaceutical Industry in India: India is the third largest pharmaceutical market in the world in terms of volume. The market is believed to grow at a compound annual growth rage (CAGR) of 14-17 percent in between 2012-16. There has also been a considerable growth in the levels of pharmaceutical exports from India. The industry started picking momentum in the early 1960s, with government actively encouraging the sector with the Patents Act. However, the liberalization of 1991 enabled the industry to become what it is today. Many of the Indian companies principally observe reverse engineering of the new processes for manufacturing drugs at low costs. Although some of the companies have taken baby steps towards innovating newer drugs, the industry as a whole tends to follow this business model. The lack of patent protection, on the other hand, makes India undesirable for multinational companies that have dominated the market. So the pharmaceutical market in India has a tremendous potential for indigenousness. In this context, comparing a global pharmaceutical company with its Indian counterpart becomes evident. GlaxoSmithKline and Ranbaxy: A Comparison GlaxoSmithKline is a British multinational pharmaceutical company also dealing in biologics, vaccines and consumer healthcare. Headquartered at London, it is the world’s sixth largest pharmaceutical company. The company was established in 2000 by the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beckman Corporation. A giant...

...The sector overview and Major players The Indian Pharmaceutical industry is highly fragmented with about 24,000 players (around 330 in the organised sector). The top ten companies make up for more than a third of the market. The Indian pharma industry (IPM) grew by 16% YoY in 2012 to ` 629 bn. It accounts for about 1.4% of the world's pharma industry in value terms and 10% in volume terms. Besides the domestic market, Indian pharma companies also have a large chunk of their revenues coming from exports. While some are focusing on the generics market in the US, Europe and semi-regulated markets, others are focusing on custom manufacturing for innovator companies. Biopharmaceuticals is also increasingly becoming an area of interest given the complexity in manufacture and limited competition. The drug price control order (DPCO) continues to be a menace for the industry. There are three tiers of regulations – on bulk drugs, on formulations and on overall profitability. This has made the profitability of the sector susceptible to the whims and fancies of the pricing authority. In connotation, with pricing policy of 354 drugs, NLEM (National list of essential medicines) was released, which covered the list of the drugs which the authority intends to put under price control. The policy has been stiffly opposed by the pharmaceutical industry. Introduction of GDUFA (Generic drug user fee Act) in US. As per this act, the generic companies are required to pay user fees to USFDA, for...

...Strategy Formulation & Implementation Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd 1. Summary: Indian pharmaceutical industry is estimated at $8 billion in 2013 and had been growing at an average rate of 8–9 %. The industry was highly fragmented with more than 1000 players out of which 30% of market was controlled by top ten companies and the rest of 70% by small companies. The Global pharmaceutical industry was estimated at $ 600 billion in 2013. Indian pharmaceutical industry has become more innovative and enterprising with more investment in R&D especially since the WTO agreement was signed. Indian drug makers command 10 per cent share in the USD 30 billion US generic drug market and also has the highest (over 150) US Foods & Drug Administration (FDA) approved facilities. US accounts for one-fourth of the Indian drug exports. The share of Indian pharma companies in the total approvals for generic drugs called Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) has risen steadily. From 32 per cent in 2009, it went up to 38.5 per cent in 2013. Increasing share of Indian companies in total ANDAs approved by the USFDA can be attributed to increase spending by them for research and development (R&D) activities. As per CMIE’s database, the industry’s R&D expenses to sales ratio jumped to around five per cent in 2012-13 from around three per cent in 2003-04. The export of drugs from India is expected to grow by 4.2 per cent to USD 15.2 billion in 2013-14. Around USD 16.3 billion of drugs are likely to be...
