Industry Outlook

The Global pharmaceutical industry is valued at around US$ 1250 billion. The US market alone accounts for 48% of the market. India and China each stand at US$ 53 billion and US$ 190 billion respectively. India is the largest provider of generic drugs and is fulfilling around 20% of the global demand.

In the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Industry, if we see the units approved by USFDA, US leads with 28% approval rating, Europe with 26%, and India & China with 18% and 13% respectively. It is the best time for India to focus on building and improving its API manufacturing and export capabilities. According to Statistics, the Indian API market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.57% from 2020 to 2026. The Government of India has announced Rs. 6,940 Crore Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to boost drug manufacturing in India. The scheme is mainly aimed at reducing imports through the promotion of domestic manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Drug Intermediates.

Pharmaceutical Companies are continuously increasing outsourcing research activities to academic and private contract research organizations (CROs) to become and stay competitive in the market. After the COVID 19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry has gotten a new direction and is currently experiencing dynamic changes. That is why to reduce their R&D expenses, the companies to a significant extent are now relying on outsourcing service providers. Based on this, the opportunities available to India are Custom Chemical Synthesis or CCS, clinical trials, and contract manufacturing or CRAMS. However, the most scalable opportunity for Indian companies lies in contract manufacturing or CRAMS. This is because CRAMS supplies are linked to the success of a product post commercialization and can provide relatively stable revenues.
