INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
N E W S
As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the GDP
of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift. It
highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account for
close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey. And
with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed
counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further
in the coming years. China may surpass the US over the next few years.
Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to
influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The
prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to
political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great
extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand,
seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund
manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic
development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite
worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward
trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive
anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales,
luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now
beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy
that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented
economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.
A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real
estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization
policies. A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets including
equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991. Real estate
outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period with an
annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized return of
15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the fact is that
the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just 7.1 %.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The businesses comprise Pharmaceuticals, Generics, OTC and Animal Health. The operational performance of the business is reviewed by the management based on such segmentation.
(i) The Pharmaceuticals segment comprises a portfolio of prescription medicines which are provided to patients through healthcare professionals. These are mainly products of original research of the Novartis Group.
(ii) The Generics segment comprises Retail Generics products. The business unit primarily focuses on the therapeutic segments such as Anti-TB, Anti-DUB (Gynaecology), Antihistamines, Antibiotics, Anti-ulcerants, Anti-diabetes and Cardiovascular.
(iii) The Animal Health segment has a presence primarily in the cattle and poultry market segments.
(iv) The OTC segment is mainly in the VMS (vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements) and CoCoA (cough, cold and allergy) market segments.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
AND DEVELOPMENTS
PHARMACEUTICALS
AND GENERICS
The Indian Economy
is the 5th fastest growing economy in the world (Euromonitor) and is poised to
be the 3rd largest economy by 2040 (PwC) with a rapidly growing
middle class. As economies develop, there is increasing healthcare awareness
and hence greater spends. The market drivers include a growing educated and
middle class, rising income levels, rising life expectancy, increase in chronic
and lifestyle related diseases, increased penetration of health insurance and
of class II – VI and rural markets, increased government spending on
healthcare, rapid growth of the private sector and speciality hospitals among
others.
The year 2013
represented a marked change in the operational dynamics of the Indian
Pharmaceuticals Market, (IPM). Though the market always had some form of price
controls, the scope and basis changed following implementation of the Drug
Price Control Order (DPCO) 2013 with 348 drugs being brought under the ambit of
price control. This had a major negative impact on the industry and has
impacted short term growth rates.
Valued at around `
804 billion (IMS, MAT March 2014) the IPM is a highly fragmented market with a
large number of players spread across therapy segments. It continues to be a
highly competitive market with a large number of brands per therapeutic area.
Globally, the 3rd largest by volume and 13th largest by value, the IPM is
expected to grow at a 12.2 per cent CAGR over the next 4 years.
For a science
based Industry like Pharmaceuticals, non-recognition of patents and compulsory
licensing have been a major dampener in the recent past. 2013-14 continued to
witness a slump in GDP growth which will have a negative impact on the near
term growth prospects of the IPM.
OTC
Valued at ` 136.2
billion, the OTC market in India is the 13th largest market in the world and
has grown at 5.8 per cent in 2013 (Nicholas Hall DB 2013). Lack of regulatory
guidelines for the OTC sector together with lower GDP growth are expected to
impact development of this market in the short to medium term.
ANIMAL HEALTH
The Animal Health
industry is estimated to have grown by around 5 to 6 per cent during this financial
year. The fastest growing segment in the past 5 years has been the poultry
layer industry. Growing at a steady pace, the dairy industry in India continues
to be the world’s largest. The key growth factors helping the Animal Health
sector are increase in disposable income, domestic demand and exports together
with the dairy market getting increasingly organized.
PERFORMANCE
Net Revenue from
Operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 was at Rs. 8622.300 millions
representing a decline of 4.6 per cent over the previous year. Profit before
tax for the year was at Rs. 899.00
millions representing a decline of 46.9 per cent over the previous year.
Decline in profit was mainly on account of substantial reduction in selling
prices due to the new Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) 2013, and depreciation in
the value of the rupee resulting in higher cost of imports. After providing for
income tax credit of Rs. 86.300 millions, profit after tax was Rs. 985.300
millions.
OUTLOOK
PHARMACEUTICALS
AND GENERICS
A large and
growing population with low healthcare penetration presents a huge opportunity
for the Pharmaceutical Industry.
Changing
demographics with increasing urbanization is leading to a rise in chronic and
lifestyle diseases which could drive growth. Increasing healthcare awareness
and growing income levels is likely to result in increased spend on medicines
and healthcare products. Notwithstanding the strong long-term potential of the
IPM given the several factors in favour, investments in the sector and
profitability could still be impeded in the short to medium term given the
current economic environment. Subsequent to price cuts (DPCO 2013),
profitability will continue to be negatively impacted in the short-to-medium
term. The Company is currently working on initiatives to partially offset the
severe negative impact of the price cuts and will continue to drive operational
excellence to increase productivity and commercial responsiveness.
OTC
The overall future
of the OTC market looks promising provided it is left out of the ambit of price
controls. A growing economy, higher disposable incomes, rapidly increasing
middle class and greater health awareness are likely to translate in to greater
spend on OTC products.
ANIMAL HEALTH
The Animal Health
sector is dependent on the monsoon for adequate availability of feed
ingredients to manufacture poultry and cattle feed. The industry is on a growth
trajectory which is likely to continue barring any unforeseen developments.
