"Portugal Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q4 2015" now available at Fast Market Research

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon Oct 05 2015


Despite the registered recovery in Portugal's economic indicators in recent quarters , substantial risks will remain to pharmaceutical firms tha t sell drugs in the country, especially due to delays in payments by public hospitals and high levels of public and private debt. The registered improvements in domestic demand, pharmaceutical exports and manufacturing indices will be partially counterbalanced by the slow progress in structural reforms to enhance competitiveness, offering a mixed outlook over the medium- term.

Headline Expenditure Projections

Pharmaceuticals: EUR3.26bn (USD4.37bn) in 2014 to EUR3.13bn (USD3.44) in 2015; -4.2% in local currency and -21.3% in US dollar terms. Forecast broadly in line with the last quarter in local currency terms and revised slightly upwards in US dollar terms.
Healthcare: EUR15.90bn (USD21.31bn) in 2014 to EUR15.82bn (USD17.40bn) in 2015; -0.5% in local currency and -18.3% in US dollar terms. Forecast revised upwards from last quarter in local currency terms and US dollar terms.

Risk/Rewards Index

In Q315 we have downgraded Portugal's Risk/Reward Index score to 56.7 from 57.3 in the last quarter. The downgrade was due to a revision to economic diligence indices. Portugal remains the least attractive market to pharmaceutical investors in Western Europe, which covers 15 key markets. Portugal's overall score is moderately boosted by an ageing population (pensionable population score of 8.0 against a regional average of 7.8) and a respectable market size (scoring 12.0 against a regional average of 13.7) but is dragged down by poor market growth potential (scoring 0.0 against a regional average of 0.6) and industry and country risks (overall market risk score of 22.9 against a regional average of 26.7).
