Internationalisation of Indian generic drugmakers will continue. This is facilitated by the growing use of generic substitution as a tool of cost containment globally, as governments seek to curb rising healthcare expenditure. Key risks include the difficulties in ensuring quality manufacturing and medicine pricing pressures.

Headline Expenditure Projections

Pharmaceuticals: INR954bn (USD16bn) in 2014 to INR1,066bn (17bn) by 2015; +11.7% in local currency terms and 7.0% in US dollar terms. Historic data revised down after new data from AIOCD AWACS.
Healthcare: INR5,085bn (USD83bn) in 2014 to INR5,716bn (USD90bn) by 2015; +12.4% in local currency terms and 7.6% in US dollar terms.

Risk/Reward Index

India's pharmaceutical market is the ranks as the tenth most attractive amongst 19 other countries in the Asia Pacific region. Scoring 53.0 out of 100.0 for our BMI Pharmaceutical Risk/Reward Index in Q415, the country's high market expenditure (scoring 16.0 out of 20.0) is weighed down by the low spending per capita (scoring 1.2 out of 12) as well as the high risks involved including low patent respect (scoring 2.1 out of 7.0). Despite India's rapid development, numerous problems are present - such as high levels of poverty and illiteracy, persistent malnutrition, and environmental degradation - and continue to thwart India's pre-eminence.

Key Trends And Developments

In July 2015, Indian authorities extended price control on 39 more medicines used to treat diseases such as diabetes, infections and digestive orders among others. According to industry estimates, the price reductions are expected to range from 5% to 40% depending on the drug category.

That same month, India's supreme court said that a group seeking to lower medicine prices should be allowed to petition the country's government to review its pricing policy for medicines deemed essential.
