INDIA FORMULATIONS

 

1. INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET

 

The India formulations market valued at Rs. 482 billion has grown at CAGR of 15% (Source: ORG - IMS) over last 4 years. New product introductions contributed to 10% of the sales growth while volume growth contributed to 82% of the sales growth. Growing population, improving medical infrastructure, rising income levels and increasing government spend on healthcare are driving the market growth.

 

Indian market is witnessing gradual transition from acute diseases to lifestyle diseases and chronic therapies like Cardiology, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Diabetes. With current demographic profile and growth prospects of the economy, Indian Pharmaceutical market could see continuing trend of transition towards chronic and super specialty therapies, with acute therapies like Anti – Infectives retaining their market size.

 

Over the coming years, patent laws will provide an impetus to the launch of patent protected products. The market for patented products is likely to be concentrated in therapeutic segments like Neuro-Psychiatry, Oncology, Anti-Infective, Gastro-Intestinal, and Cardiovascular. Such products have the potential to capture 10% of the overall market in the coming years.

 

However outlook for generics products looks positive due to several factors. The current pipeline of the generics products that are either undergoing new process development or have been recently launched is strong. In addition, domestic players have the opportunity to develop new combinations and formulations of the products that are already in the market. Generics players continue to have a wide range of options for new generics launches from the basket of pre 1995 products.

 

Currently, the prices of 75 drugs are controlled as per the mandate issued by the Drug Price Control Order, 1995 (DPCO).Currently 9% of company’s revenues are from products covered by DPCO.

 

Given the above developments, companies need to focus on brand building and customize marketing approach to suit different customer segments. Medium term growth would be driven by therapy expansion, expanding geographical reach and new product introductions.

 

2. OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

 

India formulations segment registered a growth of 15% over the previous year. The revenue growth was mainly driven by Anti Infective and Gastro portfolios. Top 10 brands contributed to 41% of the total India formulation sales as against 42% during previous year. Cardiology continues to remain the main therapeutic segment for the company with a contribution of about 33% of the total sales. Neuro-psychiatry and gastroenterology are other key segments. The three therapeutic segments put together contribute to over 73% of the total sales.

 

During the year, the company has expanded its reach in Tier II to VI cities and rural markets and now it has pan-India presence. In 2011-12, company would consolidate its operations in these markets.

 

The company has further expanded its therapeutic reach into Gynecology segment having a market size of Rs. 27400.000 Millions growing at 14% (Source: ORG - IMS Mat Mar 11). The company has already launched 19 products and is planning to expand the portfolio by another 6 products in 2011-12. With total 25 products in basket, the company would cater to 46% of the regular obstetrics and gynecology market. Future plans include entry into infertility market.

4. OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTLOOK

 

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is going through structural change with lesser number of products available for introduction due to patent regime effective from 2005 and increased focus of MNCs in Indian Pharmaceutical Market on account of block buster products going off patent in developed markets. The business environment will continue to remain challenging characterized by intense competition, margin pressures and regulatory interventions. These changes pose many challenges and opportunities to companies operating in this environment. In this context, the Company has identified several growth initiatives, part of which has since been rolled out as detailed below:

 

Following are the areas where action has been initiated, the results of which are expected to flow in the foreseeable future:

  • Geographical expansion to cover Tier II to VI cities
  • Increasing sales force to expand doctor coverage in Metros
  • Consolidating recent entry in Gynecology.
  • Accelerate growth through increasing doctor coverage, product exposure to new medical specialties, increased product focus, territorial expansion, new product introductions, new therapeutic areas and building strong sales operations systems.

 

Further growth areas are:

  • Emerging market segments like organized buyer groups, pharmacy chains and corporate hospitals.
  • Leverage on the strong franchise, specialized sales force and distribution built in the domestic market by in-licensing of molecules.
  • Product and assets acquisition opportunities.
  • Use of information technology for efficient customer servicing and improved sales productivity.

 

 

B. INTERNATIONAL FORMULATIONS

 

Global Pharmaceutical market grew 4-5% in 2010 to US$ 880 billion and is expected to grow at 5% to 7% in 2011. Global Generic pharmaceutical market is valued at approximately US$ 108 billion in 2009 and is expected to reach US$ 130 billion by 2014 with a CAGR of 9%. At present, U.S is the largest generic market with market share of 28% followed by EU 15% and Japan 12%. Growth in these markets is driven by patent expiries, increase in generic penetration and government support to genericisation.

 

Global generics market continues to present a positive outlook and growth opportunities based on i) increasing health cost burden in developed economies compelling governments to encourage genericisation ii) approximately US$ 156 billion drugs to lose patent protections between 2010 to 2019 iii) rising income levels and improving healthcare coverage in the emerging economies to provide signifi cant growth opportunities. Much of the rise in global pharmaceutical market will come from pharmerging markets, where sales are forecasted to grow at 13%-16% over the period of next 5 years. Growth in emerging markets is driven by increasing domestic consumptions on the back of high economic growth, strengthening of healthcare infrastructure and greater healthcare awareness. Emerging markets like Latin America, Eastern European countries, China, India and Russia are growing at double digit rates. These markets, predominantly in the nature of Branded Generic Formulations, offer attractive pricing whereas competition is less intensive. Indian companies have been increasingly focusing on global markets with a view to expand their geographical reach.

 

International generic opportunity continues to be a growth engine for the company. The Company is well positioned to capitalize on these growth opportunities with strong development pipeline, low R and D and manufacturing costs and sound marketing reach and capabilities built over a period of time. Blockbuster drugs going off patent continue to offer significant opportunity.

AS PER WEB DETAILS

 

PROFILE

 

These words sum up the efforts of the Torrent group, which integrates people, processes and potential towards the betterment of mankind.

 

It all began with the toil of one enterprising individual, Shri. U N Mehta, when he ventured on his own to create history in the Indian pharmaceutical industry by implementing successfully the concept of niche marketing. His journey, characterised by ups and downs, reached a milestone in 1970, with the launch of Trinicalm Plus, an effective tranquilizer in the niche segment, central nervous system (CNS).

 

The foundations for Torrent were laid when 'Trinity Laboratories' began operations under the able guidance of Shri Mehta whose efforts are worthy of emulation.

 

'Trinity' was renamed 'Torrent' and with this not only did the company get a new name, it also focused on establishing its own manufacturing facilities in the early 80s. Torrent augmented its efforts with the expansion of its manufacturing capacity, emphasis on marketing and creating business opportunities through focus on exports. Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited recorded a quantum leap in the year 1994. It has also been rated India's ninth best company among capital intensive companies in terms of ROCE in a study by ETIG-BCG in 2001.

 

In recognition of the consistent performance Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited has been receiving accolades from various quarters, such as the President's award for highest pharmaceuticals exports of Rs. 1570 million in 1991-92. The Company that had a humble beginning has now grown to become one of the leading players in pharmaceuticals.

 

It has ambitious plans for the years ahead. The emphasis is on Post-2005 opportunities with greater focus on the international market, in particular the lucrative North American market.
