New Market Report: Argentina Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q2 2014

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.

Argentina's pharmaceutical industry has been relatively competitive in the Latin America region due to skilled professionals, low-cost operations and export-oriented policies. However, public incentives in the Argentinean biotechnology sector remain scant, are scattered across the country and there is a lack of continuity in comparison with its neighbour Brazil. The long-term absence of orthodox economic policy in the country will also hinder private investment in Argentina's biotechnology sector.

Headline Expenditure Projections

Pharmaceuticals: ARS44.8bn (US$9.6bn) in 2013 to ARS57.2bn (US$8.5bn) in 2014; +27.7% in local currency terms and -11.5% in US dollar terms. These figures have been revised upwards since Q114 due to macroeconomic forecast changes.

Healthcare: ARS230.3bn (US$42.3bn) in 2013 to ARS279.1bn (US$41.4bn) in 2014; +21.2% in local currency terms and -2.0% in US dollar terms. These figures have also been revised upwards since Q114 due to macroeconomic forecast changes.

Risk/Reward Rating: Argentina scores 55.7 in BMI's Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Risk/Reward Rating (RRR), making it the sixth-most attractive pharmaceutical market in America. We have re-weighted the RRR components to improve the tool, and adjusted the scores for all markets in the Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare reports. Argentina's pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at double-digit rates through to 2016 in local currency terms, largely due to inflation.
