A strong consumer story and macroeconomic outlook will support growth in pharmaceutical sales over 2015. However, local regulatory factors such as pricing and reimbursement decisions and industry taxes will moderate growth and limit the country's attractiveness to multinational drugmakers.

Headline Expenditure Projections

Pharmaceuticals: RON14.19bn (USD4.28bn) in 2014 to RON14.94bn (USD3.67bn) in 2015; +5.3% in local currency terms and -14.3% in US dollar terms. Forecast upgraded from Q315.

Healthcare: RON34.72bn (USD10.48bn) in 2014 to RON36.37bn (USD8.93bn) in 2015; +4.7% in local currency terms and -14.8% in US dollar terms. Forecast unchanged from Q315 .

Risk/Reward Index

Romania has a BMI Risk & Reward Index (RRI) score of 56.2 out of 100, making it the third-most attractive pharmaceutical market in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. Romania's rise to third rank has been mainly due to a deterioration in the outlook for other CEE countries rather than a significant improvement for the pharmaceutical sector in Romania.
