MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL PHARMA MARKET

 

The global pharmaceutical market is undergoing rapid transformation. As blockbuster drugs come off patent, there are fewer new chemical and biological entities in the pipeline to replace them. This is the outcome of declining R and D productivity and rising regulatory costs.

 

As per the IMS Health forecast, divergent growth rates are expected for developed and emerging markets in the year 2011. The emerging markets are forecasted to grow at a 15-17% in 2011, to US$170-180 billion. Many of these markets are benefiting from greater government spending on healthcare and broader public and private healthcare funding, which is driving greater demand and access to medicines. China, which is predicted to grow at 25-27% to more than $50 billion next year, is now the world’s third-largest pharmaceutical market. The five major European markets (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the U.K.) collectively will grow at a 1-3% pace, as will Canada. As per the forecast, U.S. will remain the single largest pharmaceutical market, with 3-5% growth expected next year.

 

In 2011, products with sales of more than $30 billion are expected to face the prospect of generic competition in the major developed markets. The full impact of patients shifting to lower-cost generic alternatives for these products, as well as other brands in their therapy classes, mostly will be felt in 2012, due to the timing and expected competitive intensity among generic entrants.

 

The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics reported that global spending for medicines will reach nearly $1.1 trillion by 2015, reflecting a slowing compound annual growth rate of 3-6 percent over the next five years. This compares with 6.2 percent annual growth over the past five years. Lower levels of spending growth for medicines in the U.S., the ongoing impact of patent expiries in developed markets, continuing strong demand in emerging pharma markets, and policy-driven changes in several countries are among the key factors that will influence future growth, according to the IMS Institute’s new study, The Global Use of Medicines Outlook Through 2015.

 

INDIA

 

The Indian pharmaceutical industry currently ranks 3rd in terms of volume of production (10% of global share) and 14th by value. Exports of pharmaceuticals have consistently outstripped imports. India currently exports drug intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), finished dosage formulations, bio— pharmaceuticals and clinical services. The top five destinations of Indian pharmaceutical products are the USA, Germany, Russia, the UK and China. The domestic pharma sector has also expanded in recent years.

 

India’s Domestic Pharma Market offers immense potential, which is currently, valued at approximately Rs. 482390.000 millions reflecting strong growth of 15.3% for the twelve months ending March, 2011 (IMS MAT March, 2011). As per the latest report of Price water house Coopers (PwC) - ‘India’s Pharma mc: Capitalizing on India’s growth potential, estimates that over the next 10 years, the domestic market will grow to US$ 49 billion @ CAGR of 15%, with the potential to reach US$ 74 billion @ CAGR of 20%, if aggressive growth drivers kick in.

 

One of the drivers behind this potential growth expectation is that India’s pharmaceutical industry has a favorable macro environment to grow in. The Indian economy has rebounded from the global economic downturn, with real gross domestic product (GOP) growth reaching 10.4% in 2010 (IMF World Economic Outlook April, 2011).

 

The Indian Domestic Pharma industry is witnessing trends such as acquisition activity, increased sales and marketing investment by domestic players, deeper penetration into the tier Ito tier VI and rural markets, and growth in insurance coverage and innovation in healthcare delivery. Taken together, these trends are leading to increased affordability of services to patients and access to quality medical care. These trends, along with the favorable macro environment will propel the industry to the next level of growth.

 

The report highlights that presently around 67% of India’s population or 742 million people live in rural areas, but rural markets contribute to only 17% of the overall pharma market’s sales. Further, this low penetration represents a huge opportunity for the pharmaceutical companies to expand in the rural markets, which are expected to be the growth drivers for the domestic pharma industry in the coming years.
