INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

In 2011, countries across the globe witnessed economic turbulence. The US witnessed spiralling debt and unemployment issues, spreading Euro zone crisis, Middle East facing political turmoil hampering the global crude oil supply. Moreover, Asia too had its own challenges. Too often since the 2008 financial crisis, expectations for strong and lasting growth have been dashed by unpredictable factors, such as soaring oil prices and other geo-political factors.

 

There are now encouraging signs of moderate global growth: global economy bumping along with the US on its way to leading the pack; Euro economies in recession but not for long; inflation worries are less acute and central banks are safeguarding their economies against sluggish growth; and interest rates are expected to stay low in 2012 and moderately higher in 2013.

 

IMF forecasts the global economic growth to be around 3.3% in 2012, powered by emerging markets. The advanced markets are likely to witness 1.9% growth in 2012 from 1.6% in 2011, while the emerging markets are anticipated to grow at 5.4% in 2012 against 6.1% in 2011

 

 

 

GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

 

The global pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to grow at 5-7% to USD 880 Billion in 2011. The transformation of the global pharma persistently continues; the focus shifting from the regulated markets to emerging economies.

 

Despite major constraints, the global pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at 5-8% CAGR to reach USD 1.1 Trillion by 2014. The growth would be fuelled by the changing mix of innovative and mature products and rising healthcare access in emerging markets on one hand and pricing pressures by regulators on the other.

 

 

INNOVATOR MARKET

 

The spending on innovative drugs is expected to remain flat at 2010 level till 2015. Since all the increase in spending on innovative products will be offset by patent expiries which will result in reduction of brand spending by USD 120 Billion by 2015. The protected brands are projected to grow at about 7-8%, 3-4% of which would be contributed from price growth. The volume growth on branded products will be much lower over the next five years 2011-15 as compared to the period 2006-10. The major challenges for the innovative drug markets include FDA approval hurdles, patent exclusivity risk, weak pipelines, government payer and reimbursement pressure.

 

 

GENERIC MARKET

 

The global market for generics is expected to experience robust growth in the coming years, due to patent expiries of blockbuster drugs. The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics points to a likely decline in brands, as greater than USD 170 Billion worth of patents are set to expire in developed markets in the next five years. Cost containment strategies implemented by government, credit shift towards cheaper generics, ageing population and chronic diseases are anticipated to boost the generic markets.

 

 

GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET OVERVIEW

 

REGULATED MARKET, USA

 

USA, the largest pharmaceutical market globally, is estimated to have grown around 3% to 5% in 2011. IMS suggests that USA’s share in global spending is expected to decline from 41% in 2005 to 31% in 2015.

 

The year 2012 marks the entry into peak waves of patent expiry, with brands worth USD 40 Billion losing patent expiration. Several blockbuster drugs are set to expire this year. The major beneficiaries are expected to be the generic companies. It is expected that most generic companies in USA would clock 30-50% growth in FY2013.

 

JAPAN

 

Japan is the second largest pharmaceutical market and accounts for 11.7% in the global pharma market. In 2011, the market is expected to have registered 5.7% growth. The Japanese pharma market is expected to grow at a low single digit CAGR. The recent Tsunami has impacted production, leading to drug shortages and expiry of many patents in 2011-12. The overall industry is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2011-2016.

 

EUROPE

 

The European pharmaceutical market is the one largest pharma market following North America and Japan. The five major European markets are poised to grow around 1-3%. The Central and Eastern pharmaceutical market is expected to have registered growth of USD 63.6 Billion at retail prices, and is likely to reach market value of USD 104.2 Billion by 2016. The markets are anticipated to expand at moderate CAGR as the region is facing economic distress. Generics have retained a favourable position, as they are affordable and favoured by the government. The Northern European countries are projected to reach a market value of over USD 26 Billion by 2016. The leading markets in Europe are poised to grow at an average CAGR of 2.5% up to USD 220 Billion by 2016.

 

 

EMERGING PHARMACEUTICAL MARKETS

 

The robust growth in the emerging pharmaceuticals market has outpaced growth of developed markets. The emerging markets are being driven by rapid growth in the economies of these countries, increasing per capita income, growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases due to rapid urbanisation and low-cost factors. This shift from developed global powers (US, UK and Japan) to emerging economies (China, India, Brazil, and Russia) would create new growth dynamics.

 

  • The 17 pharmerging countries* are expected to contribute 28% to global market spending by 2015.

 

  • The pharmerging countries are anticipated to contribute 48% to the annual market growth in 2013, up from 37% from last year.

 

  • The E7** countries pharmaceutical market value was estimated at around USD 136 Billion and the markets are expected to surpass USD 230 Billion by 2014 end.

LIST OF PHARMERGING COUNTRIES

 

CHINA

 

China’s pharmaceutical industry has been growing at a rapid pace and has attained the 4th position in the global pharma market in terms of size. The pharmaceutical market in China is poised to grow at the rate of 19%-22%, between 2010-2015 (Source: IMS Health). The growth is fuelled by a vast pool of talent, low-cost manufacturing capabilities, and huge market potential, and as a consequence has attracted several global drug giants to outsource their R and D and invest in China. The over- the counter (OTC) market segment in Chinese pharma markets are set to double by 2014.

 

 

LATAM

 

The Latin America’s pharmaceutical market is currently worth USD 45 Billion. Despite cost-curtail measures, the country’s pharma sector’s growth would be fuelled by strong growth in production, sales, exports and employment. According to IMS Health, LATAM is expected to grow to USD 51.3 Billion by 2014. In general Latin America has shown growth trend of approximately 12-16% in terms of revenue.

 

Brazil leads the LATAM pharmaceutical markets, reporting average gross revenues of USD12 Billion annually. As per IMS Health, Brazil is expected to have registered 10% growth, with revenues of about USD 25.6 Billion in 2011. By 2015, it is expected to reach market value of USD 32.8 Billion. Mexico, the second largest pharma market of the region, is projected to grow at 11.7% between 2009 and 2014 to reach market value of USD 14.9 Billion as per Business Monitor International (BMI).

 

 

INDIA

 

India’s pharmaceutical industry ranks 10th in terms of value and 3rd in terms of volume. The domestic pharma market is expected to touch USD 21.7 Billion in 2011.

 

Indian Pharmaceutical sector would evolve across:

 

  • USA patent expiries

 

  • Secular domestic growth

 

  • Participation in other emerging markets

 

  • R and D and outsourcing

 

 

GLOBAL APPROACH WITH INDIAN PHARMA

 

India’s pharmaceutical market is highly fragmented with 300 large and 18,000 mid-sized and small companies. The last two years have witnessed a surge of multiple global giants in India, setting up offices and R and D centres, offering patented products at a special India price, building a portfolio of branded generics and expanding their rural reach.

 

 

INDIAN PHARMA EXPORTS SCENARIO

PRESS RELEASE

 

MALAYSIAN BIO-XCELL SDN BHD SEALS A DEAL EXCEEDING US$35M (RM107M) WITH AGILA BIOTECH SDN BHD DURING BIOPHARMA ASIA 2013

 

Bangalore, March 19 2013 – In conjunction with Asia’s leading biopharma industry gathering, the BioPharma Asia Convention (BioPharma Asia) held in Singapore from 19th to 21st March 2013 witnessed Malaysian Bio-XCell Sdn Bhd (Bio-XCell) and Agila Biotech Sdn Bhd (Agila Biotech (Malaysia)) sealing a US$34.4m (RM107m) Build-and-Lease Agreement. This agreement is for the establishment of a customized biotech facility located in the Bio-XCell ecosystem in Nusajaya, Johor, Malaysia.

 

The agreement was signed between En. Rizatuddin Ramli, CEO of Bio-XCell and Dr. Anand Iyer, CEO of Agila Biotech (Malaysia), a subsidiary of India-listed Strides Arcolab Limited, replacing an earlier agreement signed in May 2011.

 

“Agila Biotech (Malaysia) is indeed poised to be a major anchor tenant for the Bio-XCell ecosystem and we are extremely pleased to be able to offer our services and support for this promising project," said En. Rizatuddin Ramli. Bio-XCell will fund RM67.32 million (approximately US$22 Million) to be provided under the Build-and-Lease Agreement with Agila Biotech (Malaysia), which will cover the construction of the building and part of the equipment. All other related state-of-the-art equipment, integration service and testing of this turnkey project (estimated at US$13-15 million) will be funded by Agila Biotech (Malaysia) from internal accruals and funding from external sources.

 

Work on the facility for the end-to-end manufacturing of biologics located on an 8.77 acre plot is expected to start as soon as all necessary clearances and permits have been obtained and all supplemental agreements have been executed. Both parties are aiming for the R and D and manufacturing facilities to be operational by end 2014.

 

Agila Biotech (Malaysia) plans to incorporate into its facility at Bio-XCell, the “next-generation” technology platforms which revolutionize the way biomolecules are developed, manufactured and commercialized. It is built around a unique platform that features the innovative application of single-use component technology and transforming biomanufacturing economics, thus reducing deployment of new manufacturing capacity from 3-5 years to a faster 12-18 months. There's also a significant capital investment savings compared to conventional approaches.

 

“Successful foray into the biologics space would require building a state-of-the-art infrastructure and strong technical foundation to support three pillars for a successful biotech business," said Dr. Anand lyer, while adding that the three pillars are strong pipeline of products; partnering capabilities; and novel formulations/ delivery capabilities, all of which will be found in their new facility planned in Malaysia.

 

Dr. Iyer also noted that the facility in Bio-XCell represents a strategic move to further bolster Agila Biotech (Malaysia)’s manufacturing presence in the region and tap into unmet global demand and window of opportunity in biologics. The proposed facility at Bio-XCell will include a Mammalian Cell Culture Single-Use Technology Manufacturing Suite, a Microbial Fermentation Single-Use Technology Manufacturing Suite, a Fill and Finish Suite, Analytical/ QC/ R and D labs, utilities infrastructure and offices.

 

Agila Biotech (Malaysia)'s plans for their facility at Bio-XCell include the development of a state of- the-art, multi-product, scalable manufacturing facility with a production capacity for mammalian (2KL expandable up to 8KL) and microbial (500 L expandable up to 2KL) products. It also aims to develop advanced formulation/ fill finish facilities to meet Agila Biotech (Malaysia)’s business model which will support the manufacturing of internal pipeline products as well as CMO activities. These facilities will be able to support the production of Recombinant

Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) from DS to DP, Recombinant Therapeutic Proteins from DS to DP, CMO activities for DS and DP, chemistry and formulation activities for PEGylation, novel formulation development and sterile fill finish facilities for vials, PFS, cartridges and lyophilized products.

 

Agila Biotech (Malaysia) is also building a 15,000sq.ft, state-of-the-art biologics R and D facility in Bangalore that will support and complement its operations in Malaysia.

 

Agila Biotech (Malaysia) joins Biocon (India), MetEx (France) and Glycos Biotechnologies (USA) as the early entrants into the Bio-XCell ecosystem. The site is supported by a network of five seaports and two international airports, all within 59km from the park. The ecosystem at Bio- XCell is designed for industrial and healthcare biotechnology with a focus on manufacturing and R and D.

 

ABOUT BIO-XCELL

 

Bio-XCell, a biotechnology park and ecosystem dedicated to healthcare and industrial biotechnology is being developed by Malaysian Bio-XCell Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company formed between Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation and property developer UEM Land Berhad in 2009.

 

Bio-XCell is strategically located on 160 acres in Nusajaya, within the Iskandar region of Johor, Malaysia, and close to the border with Singapore providing global connectivity through a network of five seaports and two international airports, all within 59 km. Bio-XCell offers a conducive environment for the development and manufacturing of biologics, pharmaceuticals, bio-based/ green chemicals and other solutions to heal, fuel and green the world.

 

As a managed park, Bio-XCell will provide its clients and investors with a range of value added benefits including comprehensive infrastructure, high speed internet access, park maintenance and security as well as core facilities to nurture the ecosystem. Key facilities of the park include the Central Hub and Central Utilities Facility (CUF).

 

The Central Hub is a multipurpose complex featuring a business centre, auditorium, lab and office space as well as amenities such as F and B and retail outlets. The CUF will provide specialized utilities for biomanufacturing to the park’s clients. Clients have options to locate their manufacturing operations at one of the ready-built standard shell buildings or customise their own facility on one of the land plots available at the park.

 

The park's global clients include Biocon (India) whose biologics facility will represent the largest insulin production plant in Asia, as well as Agila Biotech (India), METabolic EXplorer (France) and Glycos Biotechnologies (USA).
