According to IMS Health (NYSE:RX), the world pharma sales grew by 7 per
cent to touch 602 billion dollars in the last calendar year and in the Ten
major markets which accounted for 81 per cent of the world market, the audited
growth in sales stood at 5.7 per cent as against 7.2 per cent in the previous
year.
North America continues to be largest pharmaceutical market followed by
Europe and Japan. Asia Pacific and African regions baring Japan also recorded a
higher growth of 11 per cent during the year ended on December, 2005 with gross
sales of 46.4 billion dollars.
The IMS figures for 2005 indicate a definite shift in pharmaceutical
market in the years to come. China, India and Brazil, the three fast growing
economies are going to play a decisive role in the pharmaceutical scene in the
years to come judging by their current rate of growth and cost advantages as
against the relatively slow growth of top ten markets. A notable trend in the
world pharma market place is the growing role of generics as increasing number
of patients bear their own healthcare costs and the governments are getting
sympathetic to their cause. This has to inevitably bring a steady phase of
price control pressures on several medications in the years to come in all the
markets.
The pharmaceutical industry in India is estimated at US $5.22* billion,
growing at a rate of 8.6% annually. Globally, the Indian pharmaceutical
industry ranks 4th in terms of volume and 13th in terms of value of the total
global sales.

science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of
